Patent number: 11935373Abstract: An image acquisition unit (11) acquires a recognition processing image. A recognition unit (12) recognizes a product in the recognition processing image based on an estimation model. A registration unit (13) registers a result of the recognition in recognized product information. An output unit (14) outputs a result of the recognition. A correction reception unit (16) receives an input for correcting a result of the recognition. A correction unit (17) changes a result of the recognition to a result of the recognition after a correction, and also stores correction information in which a result of the recognition after a correction and the recognition processing image are associated with each other. A learning unit (18) performs relearning by using the recognition processing image stored as the correction information and updates the estimation model, when a number of the recognition processing image stored exceeds a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Yu Nabeto, Soma Shiraishi, Takami Sato, Katsumi Kikuchi

Patent number: 10018819Abstract: A light sheet illumination microscope includes an illumination optical system configured to illuminate a sample from a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of a detection optical system. The illumination optical system includes a first optical element configured to convert light emitted from a light source into a light sheet that forms an illumination area having a sheet shape substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the detection optical system when the sample is irradiated with the light sheet. The illumination optical system further includes a second optical element that configured to act on the light emitted from the light source such that the light sheet is converged, diverged or diffracted in a width direction of the light sheet.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshihito Iguchi, Yu Kikuchi
