  • Publication number: 20240119598
    Abstract: A monitoring camera includes an imaging unit that generates image data; a division processing unit that divides the image into a processible image and a target image when a processing load of image processing to be executed on the image is more than a predetermined load; an image processing unit that executes the image processing on the processible image; and a transmitting unit that transmits a first image processing result that is a result of the image processing executed on the processible image and target image data. The terminal includes: a communication unit that receives the first image processing result and the target image data; an image processing unit that executes image processing on the target image indicated by the target image data; and a managing unit that acquires one result by integrating the first image processing result and a second image processing result.

  • Patent number: 11259013
    Abstract: In a state in which an optical axis of a camera is normal to a surface, a relative angle of a projector with respect to the camera is set such that a marker is formed at the intersection of the optical axis of the camera with the surface. In a state in which the relative angle is unchanged and an installation angle of the camera is changed, the marker formed on the surface is shot by means of the camera, and, based on a distance between the marker and the intersection in the image obtained by the shooting, the installation angle of the camera is calculated. Furthermore, an error of the calculated installation angle with respect to a target value is calculated and displayed. Calculation or adjustment of the installation angle can be made even if the surface on which the marker is formed is relatively narrow.

  • Patent number: 8954496
    Abstract: The image update timings of a plurality of display devices are adjusted by calculating, in their image reproduction/updating control means (7), the phase difference between a synchronization adjustment signal (SAS) created from synchronization adjustment data (SAD) received from the transmitting apparatus TA by a data reception means (6) and an image display control signal (HC) output to the image display means (8), and increasing or decreasing the period of the next and subsequent image display control signals (HC) according to the phase difference, thereby reducing the phase difference. Image updating in the plurality of display devices can be synchronized to within a fixed tolerance range.
