  • Patent number: 12075198
    Abstract: An image projection apparatus includes a detector that detects a first region emitting non-visible light; a projector that projects a visible-light image onto a second region including the first region detected by the detector; and a controller configured to generate the visible-light image. The controller varies colors of pixels of the visible-light image in a stepwise manner depending on emission intensities of the non-visible light at positions corresponding to the pixels within the first region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10846850
    Abstract: Provided are a morbidity diagnosis support system, a morbidity diagnosis data-generating system, and a morbidity diagnosis support method that are capable of supporting a highly reliable morbidity diagnosis. A morbidity diagnosis support system includes an extension device for extending a tissue section of cells, an image-photographing device for acquiring image data by image-photographing the tissue section, an image analysis device for analyzing the image data to calculate an index of morbidity based on a mode of cracks generated in the tissue section by the extension, and an output device for outputting the calculated index.

  • Patent number: 10080623
    Abstract: A visible light projection device includes a detecting unit that detects a first region emitting non-visible light, a projecting unit that performs projection using visible light onto a second region including the detected first region, and a control unit that controls the projecting unit to perform projection with a color selected by an operator. When a first color is selected as a color of visible light projected by the projecting unit onto a region other than the first region, the control unit informs the operator of first options to allow a color of visible light projected onto the first region to be selected from the first options. When a second color different from the first color is selected, the control unit informs the operator of second options to allow a color of visible light projected onto the first region to be selectable from the second options.
