Abstract: The present invention provides an object-position detector apparatus and detection method capable of detecting an object with high accuracy even in such a situation that adjacent objects or structures are close to each other such that reflected waves interfere with each other, as compared with the prior art. In the object-position detector apparatus that detects a position of an object based on a radar signal from a radar apparatus, a position estimator unit is configured to estimate presence or absence of and a position of the object using a machine learning model learned by predetermined training image data representing the position of the object, based on image data including the radar signal, and output image data representing the presence or absence of and the position of the estimated object.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel polymorphism detecting method suitable for the detection and identification of copy number variation. Provided is a method of determining the genotype of a subject in a genomic region comprising an SNP site, comprising a step for performing typing of the SNP site by the invader assay with a DNA-containing sample comprising the genomic region from the subject as the template, wherein fluorescence is measured on a real time basis. The copy number ratio of both alleles is determined using the fluorescence intensity ratio of each allele at a time before saturation of fluorescence intensity. Preferably, the present method further comprises a step for amplifying the genomic region comprising an SNP site prior to the invader step. In this step of amplification, a plurality of regions comprising a plurality of SNP sites can be simultaneously amplified. Furthermore, the present method enables the determination of the copy number of each allele when combined with quantitative PCR.
