  • Publication number: 20240155233
    Abstract: An imaging system located on a moving body includes an imaging device, a blur correction assembly, and a controller. The blur correction assembly that corrects blur in movement direction of the moving body when the imaging device captures images during movement of the moving body. The controller controls exposure time of the imaging device, based on a movement velocity of the moving body and a correctable blur amount by the blur correction assembly.

  • Patent number: 11929054
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a soundproof material having a practically useful high-level sound absorption coefficient that while maintaining thinness, and further having an expanded sound-absorbable frequency region. A means for solving the problem is a soundproof material comprising: a surface cover layer composed of a fiber material; a back-surface layer laminated onto the surface cover layer, and composed of a porous material with voids interconnected with each other; and a joining layer laminated between the surface cover layer and the back-surface layer, and composed of a joining material, wherein the fiber material has an average fiber diameter of 1 to 10 ?m and an air-permeation volume of 5 to 200 cm3/cm2·sec, and wherein the joining layer has a joint area percentage of 50 to 95% with respect to the entire surface where the surface cover layer and the back-surface layer face each other.

  • Publication number: 20220076653
    Abstract: A control method of sound absorption characteristics of a soundproof material is provided to change the sound absorption characteristics of the soundproof material while equally maintaining constituent materials, total thickness, and total weight of the soundproof material. The soundproof material includes: a surface cover layer composed of a fiber material; a back-surface layer laminated onto the surface cover layer, and composed of a porous material with voids interconnected with each other; and one or more joining layers laminated between the surface cover layer and the back-surface layer, each joining layer being composed of a joining material, having a total joint area percentage of less than 100% with respect to the entire contact surface between the surface cover layer and the back-surface layer. The sound absorption characteristics are changed by changing the areas of the joining layers.

  • Patent number: 7113653
    Abstract: The present invention provides a registration correction method for image processing, by which location deviations among images with different behaviors such as visible ray images and invisible ray images can be corrected. According to this method, one of a visible ray image and an invisible ray image is designated as a reference image, and the other as an object image. A reference window is set within the reference image, and an object window of the same size as the reference window is set within the object image. While the object window is shifted by the pixel within the object image, the differential values of the brightness in the x-axis and y-axis directions of each pixel in the reference window and the object window are obtained. The object point where the total of the squares or the absolute values of the differences between the differential values of the reference window and the object window becomes smallest is set as the point corresponding to the reference point of the reference window.
