Abstract: [An object of the present invention is] to provide transfer tape that maintains strong adhesive strength but can be reliably cut at a stipulated position. The adhesive film contains needle-shaped particles. If the adhesive strength is made high, then the adhesion between the adhesive ingredients is increased, thus forming a film that is difficult to cut. If a force is applied to the band-shaped ribbon in a direction outside the plane in which the adhesive coating is applied, then the film of the adhesive coating becomes thin and the needle-shaped particles rupture the film and cut the adhesive film. Moreover, the cut adhesive film draws the cut end to the needle-shaped particles, and as a result it is cut completely without stringiness.

Abstract: In a correlation process between image patterns seen by two stereo-viewing cameras, the process can be made faster by using only the information related to a coordinate in the direction having a parallax, concerning the position of a characteristic point in the image patterns. In addition, by introducing a process for verifying the positional information of the characteristic point obtained by a camera for verification, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the characteristic information contained in the image patterns and to improve the precision of the correlation process. As a result, it is possible to achieve a stereo image processing device which operates at high speed. Further, since the stereo image processing device can be realized by a comparatively simple circuit configuration, it is expected that the device can contribute to the commercialization of in-vehicle safety monitor devices and the like.
