  • Publication number: 20200101630
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an acquirer, a face detector, and a change detector. The acquirer acquires images captured in succession by an image capturer. The face detector executes a first detection processing (face detection processing) that detects a certain target (face of a person) from a central area of the acquired image. The change detector executes second detection processing to detect a change over time in a surrounding area other than the central area in the acquired image. The second detection processing has a smaller processing load required per unit pixel in the image than that of the first detection processing.

  • Publication number: 20200103830
    Abstract: A rotation detecting apparatus includes a rotating member, detectors regarding a rotating direction of the rotating member, and a predetermined unit. Each detector detects whether a predetermined standard direction is included in detecting ranges different for each rotating member and outputs a result. The predetermined unit combines the detection result output from each detector and extracts an angle range. The predetermined unit specifies the rotating direction of the rotating member based on changes in the angle ranges extracted a plurality of times occurring in the plurality of times. The detecting range corresponding to each of the plurality of detectors is determined to be able to identify relative positions before and after a change from the angle range extracted by the predetermined unit to the angle range that is clockwise or counterclockwise apart a predetermined number or less to the angle range extracted, the predetermined number being two or more.
