Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface is configured to acquire a first video image capturing an outside area of a moving body. The controller is configured to cause a second video image corresponding to a display region of the first video image to be displayed on a display apparatus. The controller is also configured to detect at least a portion of a detection object in the display region of the first video image, determine whether one or more conditions are met based on a relative positional relationship between the moving body and the detection object and, when it is determined that the one or more conditions are met, cause a first marker corresponding to the detection object to be superimposed on the second video image and displayed on the display apparatus.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method can combine images, while maintaining continuity without causing discomfort, that capture the surrounding area of an automobile. An image processing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit that acquires first and second images respectively capturing surrounding areas of an automobile including first and second areas, an outline detector that performs outline detection on the first and second images and generates first and second outlines respectively, a determiner that determines whether the first and second outlines each include an outline of the same object, and a area selector that performs area setting and perspective conversion on the first or second image when the first and second outlines are determined to include an outline of the same object, so that in a combined image generated by combining at least the first and second images, the first and second outlines are continuous at the same object.

The apparatus further has a control circuit for causing the counter to become operable before starting the sheet conveying operation.

Abstract: A bundle of bills or like sheets to be bound is clamped between a pair of holder plates and is revolved therewith to a predetermined angular position, where the leading end of a tape is inserted into the bundle of sheets through one edge thereof by tape and insertion means comprising a movable separator finger and tape guide plate. This tape, having a layer of a thermoplastic synthetic resin adhesive coated on one surface thereof, is wound around the bundle of sheets as the same is further revolved with the holder plates. Tape bonding means including a heater pad is provided for thermally fastening the loose end of the tape wound around the bundle of sheets.

Abstract: In a sheet counter in which sheets held in a stack in sheet-holding means are successively separated from the stack by suction heads, there are provided first electrical switch means such as a microswitch which is closed when the sheet-holding means has been manually moved to a sheet-loading position and second switch means which is closed when the stack of sheets loaded on the sheet-holding means has been carried to a counting position. An electric motor for imparting rotation to the suction heads and a vacuum pump for creating a partial vacuum therein are set in operation only when both of the first and second switch means have been thus closed. The sheet counter is also provided with means for properly readjusting the position of the suction heads relative to the stack of sheets prior to counting operation.
