Abstract: Disclosed is an image creating device including a first obtaining unit which obtains an image including a face, a first extraction unit which extracts a face component image relating to main components of the face in the image and a direction of the face, a second obtaining unit which obtains a face contour image associated to the face in the image and a second extraction unit which extracts a direction of a face contour in the face contour image. The image creating device further includes a converting unit which converts at least one of the face component image and the face contour image based on the both directions of the face and the face contour and a creating unit which creates a portrait image by using at least one of the face component image and the face contour image being converted by the converting unit.

Abstract: An object detection device includes: an obtaining unit successively obtaining frame images; a first determination unit determining whether a first similarity between a reference image and a first image region in one of the obtained frame images is less than a first threshold value; a second determination unit determining whether a second similarity between the reference image and a second image region, included in a frame image obtained before the one of the frame images and corresponding to the first image region, is less than a second threshold value larger than the first threshold value, when the first determination unit determines that the first similarity is not less than the first threshold value; and a detection unit detecting the first image region as a region of a particular object image when the second determination unit determines that the second similarity is not less than the second threshold value.

Abstract: An image creating device includes: an acquiring unit, a component creation unit, an extraction unit, a specifying unit, and an image creation unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image. The component creation unit creates a face component image related to main components of a face included in the image acquired by the acquiring unit. The extraction unit extracts feature information from the face included in the image acquired by the acquiring unit. The specifying unit specifies a hair style image, which corresponds to the feature information extracted by the extraction unit, from hair style images which show outlines of hair and are associated with feature information of faces, the feature information being recorded in a recording section. The image creation unit creates a portrait image by using the hair style image specified by the specifying unit and the face component image created by the component creation unit.

Abstract: An image creating device includes: an acquiring unit for acquiring an image; an extracting unit for extracting feature information from a face in the image acquired by the acquiring unit; and a creating unit for creating a replaced image by replacing an image of a face region in the image acquired by the acquiring unit by other image, based on the feature information extracted by the extracting unit.

Abstract: A drilling device having an oil supply tank disposed at a position where the oil supply tank is less likely to collide with surrounding objects. This device includes a fixing member (12) fixed to a workpiece, a column (14) extending upward from the fixing member, a tubular slide unit (16) that is slidable along the column, a tool body (18) disposed on the tubular slide unit, and an oil supply tank (20) provided between the tool body and the fixing member and removably fixed to the tubular slide unit. The tool body is provided with a cutting oil supply passage having a cutting oil inlet (109) disposed toward the fixing member, while the oil supply tank is provided with a cutting oil outlet disposed upward. The tool body is displaced upward on the column and the oil supply tank is moved close to the tool body from the lower side of the tool body, whereby the cutting oil outlet of the oil supply tank is connected to the cutting oil inlet of the tool body.

Abstract: A rotary cutting machine 10 has a machine body 14 and an arbor 18. The arbor 18 includes a proximal rotary shaft 22 mounted to the machine body 14 for rotation, an intermediate rotary shaft 24 telescopically connected to the proximal rotary shaft via a splined connection, and a distal rotary shaft 26 telescopically connected to the intermediate rotary shaft 24 via a splined connection. A cutting tool C secured to the arbor 18 is extended and retracted via a feed mechanism 20 including first, second, and third racks 30, 31, and 32, and first and second pinions 33, 34.

Abstract: A rotary cutting machine 10, if inclined at large angles, provides positive supply of a cutting oil and avoids leakage of the cutting oil. The machine 10 has a machine body 14 and an arbor 18. An oil tank 50 is mountable to the machine body 14 so that the oil tank 50 is oriented at a given angular position about the central axis of the arbor 18. The tank body 54 has an interior space. The interior space is divided into a first interior part and a second interior part by an imaginary plane containing the central axis of rotation of the arbor. The first interior part is less in volume than the second interior part.

Abstract: Horizontal vibration shakers 21a and 21b are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of a vibration table 4, and either of the horizontal vibration shakers, e.g. 21a is arranged vertically movable so as to produce a positional difference (offset) with respect to a horizontal vibration axis 63 of the other horizontal vibration shaker 21b. When it is supposed that an accelerated velocity appears upwards on the left side of the vibration table 4, while another accelerated velocity appears downwards on the right side of the vibration table 4 as a result of generation of a rotational mode M, one of the horizontal vibration shakers, e.g. 21a, is elevated to produce the positional difference (offset) with respect to the horizontal vibration axis 63 of the other opposed horizontal vibration shaker 21b.
