Patent number: 10803801Abstract: An image display device includes: a light source emitting laser light; a screen on which an image is drawn by being two-dimensionally scanned by the laser light; a scanner causing the laser light to scan the screen; a light detector detecting a light amount of the laser light emitted from the light source; and a controller controlling the light source by changing a current value to drive the light source in response to a target light amount. The controller obtains a detection signal when driving the light source at a plurality of current setting values from the light detector, and corrects the current value with respect to the target light amount according to an arithmetic operation configured to suppress a difference between an output characteristic of the light source guessed by the obtained detection signal and a reference output characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Furuya, Susumu Uragami, Yuta Yamamoto, Akira Kurozuka, Mitsutaka Yamaguchi

Patent number: 8742360Abstract: Plural camera heads are each placed in a position capable of detection of radiation emitted from a radiation source. Compton cones obtained from the detection data output from each of the plural camera heads are projected onto three-dimensional space and an image based on the radiation source is reconstructed. In addition, projected images from projecting Compton cones obtained from the detection data output from each camera head onto two-dimensional planes are also employed for determining a three-dimensional space excluding regions where the radiation source is not present. Reconstruction of images based on the radiation source is then performed within the determined three-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2009Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignees: National University Corporation Gunma University, Japan Atomic EnergyInventors: Mitsutaka Yamaguchi, Hirofumi Shimada, Takashi Nakano, Naoki Kawachi, Kazuo Arakawa, Tadayuki Takahashi, Shin Watanabe, Shinichiro Takeda, Hirokazu Odaka, Yoshikatsu Kuroda, Masahiro Kato, Kei Genba
