  • Patent number: 11636876
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes a magnetic disk, a spindle motor, a magnetic head, a ramp load mechanism, a filter, and a control section. The control section rotates the spindle motor at a second rotating speed for a given period of time at startup of the device, and then loads the magnetic head from the ramp load mechanism to a prescribed position on the magnetic disk. The second rotating speed is higher than a first rotating speed at which the spindle motor is rotated at the magnetic head reads/writes data from/to the magnetic disk.

  • Publication number: 20230120093
    Abstract: In an object tracking device, the extraction means extracts target candidates from images in a time-series. The first setting means sets a first search range based on frame information and reliability of a target in a previous image in the time-series. The tracking means searches the target from the target candidates extracted within the first search range using the reliability indicating similarity to a target model, and tracks the target. The second setting means sets a second search range which includes the first search range and which is larger than the first search range. The model updating means updates the target model using the target candidates extracted within the first search range and the target candidates extracted within the second search range.

  • Publication number: 20230029990
    Abstract: An image processing system according to the present embodiment acquires a processing target image read from an original that is handwritten and specifies one or more handwritten areas included in the acquired processing target image. In addition, for each specified handwritten area, the present image processing system extracts from the processing target image a handwritten character image and a handwritten area image indicating an approximate shape of a handwritten character. Furthermore, for a handwritten area including a plurality of lines of handwriting among the specified one or more handwritten areas, a line boundary of handwritten characters is determined from a frequency of pixels indicating a handwritten area in a line direction of the handwritten area image, and a corresponding handwritten area is separated into each line.

  • Publication number: 20220414918
    Abstract: A learning device makes an object detection device learn how to detect an object from an input image. A feature extraction unit performs feature extraction from input images including real images and pseudo images to generate feature maps, and the object detection unit detects objects included in the input images based on the feature maps. The domain identification unit identifies the domains forming the input images and generates domain identifiability information. Then, the feature extraction unit and the object detection unit learn common features that do not depend on the difference in domains, based on the domain identifiability information.
