  • Patent number: 11961204
    Abstract: A novel technique is provided that analyzes the state of life using multivariate data relating to life. A state visualization device includes: a coarse-graining portion configured to perform coarse-graining on values corresponding to a plurality of items included in sample data; a model creation portion configured to obtain, using binarized values, a mathematical model for calculating energies each fitting a frequency of occurrence of a state represented by a combination of values corresponding to the items; a graph creation portion configured to create a graph in which the state is placed in two-dimensional space; and an interpolation processing portion configured to create a landscape image by smoothing and interpolating a discrete graph.

  • Patent number: 11534105
    Abstract: An estimation method for estimating a parameter related to skin function is provided. The estimation method includes an image acquisition step for acquiring a skin image in which unevenness of a skin surface is captured; an extraction step for extracting a feature vector based on topological information on the skin image from the skin image acquired in the image acquisition step; an estimation step for estimating the parameter related to skin function based on the feature vector extracted in the extraction step, using an estimation model constructed based on past actual measurement data in which feature vectors are associated with the parameter related to skin function; and a presentation step for presenting the parameter related to skin function estimated in the estimation step.
