  • Publication number: 20240069641
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes: a threshold value control unit. The threshold value control unit controls, on the basis of three-dimensional position information of each of a first finger and a second finger acquired from a detection result of a sensor, a threshold value relating to determination of a gesture using at least one of the first finger and the second finger. As a result, it is possible to perform gesture determination with high accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20130137974
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray imaging apparatus includes an angle acquisition unit and an imaging unit. The angle acquisition unit is configured to acquire an inclined angle of an aorta of an object on a reference image. The imaging unit is configured to display an X-ray image with rotating an angle so as to make a travel direction of the aorta to be a horizontal direction, a vertical direction or a predetermined direction corresponding to a craft. The angle is rotated based on the inclined angle of the aorta.

  • Patent number: 7591587
    Abstract: A controller controls a floor-mounted rotary arm mounted at one end on a floor rotatably about a substantially vertical rotation axis, a stand supported at the other end of the floor-mounted rotary arm rotatably about a substantially vertical rotation axis, a substantially C-shaped arm supported by the stand, an X-ray tube supported at one end of the C-arm, and an X-ray detector supported at the other end of the C-arm rotatably about a shooting axis passing through the X-ray focus of the X-ray tube and the center of the detection surface. The controller includes the steps of moving the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector linearly by controlling the rotation of the floor-mounted rotary arm and the rotation of the stand, and maintaining the orientation of the image in a display screen by controlling the axial rotation of the X-ray detector in synchronization with the rotation of the floor-mounted rotary arm and the rotation of the stand.
