  • Patent number: 10832413
    Abstract: A method for curvilinear object segmentation includes receiving at least one input image comprising curvilinear features. The at least one input image is mapped to segmentation maps of the curvilinear features using a deep network having a representation module and a task module. The mapping includes transforming the input image in the representation module using learnable filters configured to balance recognition of curvilinear geometry with reduction of training error. The segmentation maps are produced using the transformed input image in the task module.

  • Patent number: 10832044
    Abstract: An image recognition device adds a margin region filled with predetermined image data to a periphery of a captured image captured by a camera to create an expanded image larger than the captured image. When a person is too close to the camera, a part of a person image protrudes from the captured image, but a large detection window which also includes the margin region is set, whereby a window image including a protruding region is taken out of the expanded image. The window image lacks a protruding part of the person image, but it is an image showing an entire body of the person image. The image recognition device stores many reference images assuming various states of a person. The image recognition device extracts features from the window image, and compares them with a feature of the reference image, thereby recognizing the person image.
