Abstract: An image processing device includes a detection unit, a feature amount generating unit, a tracking unit, a feature amount change detecting unit, a tracking history extracting unit, and a determination unit, so that when occlusion in a selected cluster has occurred, the image processing device can determine whether or not objects are identical without using data of an image in which the occlusion has occurred. An image in which the occlusion has occurred can be excluded by using the data of the image determined to have no change in the feature amount, whereby a decrease in accuracy of determining whether or not the objects are identical can be suppressed.

Abstract: A detection area determining unit (6) determines a detection area where there is a possibility that a tsunami occurs. A current velocity estimating unit (7) estimates, as a sea-surface velocity of current in the detection area, a value obtained by smoothing sea-surface velocity of currents corresponding to cells included in the detection area. A tsunami detecting unit (8) detects occurrence of the tsunami in the detection area, based on the sea-surface velocity of current estimated by the current velocity estimating unit (7).

Abstract: An observer measures a flow velocity of sea surface with beam, and a coastal wave height. A predictor predicts a next time state vector, from a state vector including flow velocity of each range cell of beam, a wave height difference between range cells, and a coastal wave height. First calculator calculates a prediction error covariance matrix from a smoothing error covariance matrix. Second calculator calculates a gain matrix using results obtained by the observer and the first calculator. Third calculator calculates a smoothing error covariance matrix using results by the observer, the second calculator, and the first calculator. The state vector is smoothed for each wave height difference, from results by the observer, the predictor, and the second calculator. The wave height of each range cell is calculated by adding the wave height and the wave height difference in toward-offshore direction, using the wave height difference smoothing.
