  • Publication number: 20190384989
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an interface, a memory, and a processor. The interface acquires a photographed image from a camera that photographs a photographing region including a disposition position where an article is disposed. The memory stores, as a preservation image, a photographed image photographed by the camera in a state in which the photographing region does not include a person. The processor estimates fluctuation of the article based on article recognition processing for an image of a differential region between a photographed image photographed by the camera after the person detected in the photographing region is no longer detected in the photographing region and the preservation image stored by the memory.

  • Publication number: 20170255899
    Abstract: An inventory management system includes an image capturing device, a data storage, and a processing device. The processing device is configured to process image data of one or more images of an inventory space for items of a same type captured by the image capturing device, and to extract, from the captured images, an identification code that is unique to the items and placed behind the inventory space when viewed from the image capturing device. When the processing device is able to extract the entire identification code, the processing device causes an update of an inventory record stored in the data storage to indicate that the items are out of stock if the inventory record for the items are present.

  • Patent number: 7144376
    Abstract: A magnetic field distribution measurement device (1) provides a non-contact magnetic measurement on a subject's chest at a plurality of coordinates and forms therefrom time-series magnetic field distribution data. A first arithmetic device (2) in response generates image data representing a three-dimensional, intramyocardial current density distribution. A second arithmetic device (3) receives a plurality of tomographic image data separately obtained by a tomographic diagnosis apparatus and processes the data to generate three-dimensional, anatomical image data. A display device (4) receives these data and displays on an anatomical image an image representing an intramyocardial current density. Thus in a ventricle a lesioned or viable part of myocardium can be readily identified in location, size, geometry and level. Furthermore, the anatomical image may be replaced with an image representing a normal stimulation propagation circuit and serving as a template.
