Abstract: A road surface inspection device detects an abnormal region on a road surface from the road surface on a road image captured by a camera. The road surface inspection device determines whether the detected abnormal region overlaps a trace on the road image, along which the wheels of a patrol car are expected to pass on the road surface. When the abnormal region overlaps the trace of wheels, the road surface inspection device determines whether an acceleration at the measurement time corresponding to the captured time of the road image among the accelerations measured during driving on the road surface by a G-sensor is outside a predetermined range.

Abstract: A hardware thread causes a SleepID register of a WAKEUP signal generation unit to store a SleepID that identifies the hardware thread when suspending a process due to waiting for a process by another CPU. The WAKEUP signal generation unit causes the WAKEUP data register of the WAKEUP signal generation unit to store a SleepID notified by a node when a process that the hardware thread waits ends. The WAKEUP signal generation unit outputs a WAKEUP signal that cancels the stop of the hardware thread to the hardware thread when the SleepIDs of the SleepID register and the WAKEUP data register agree with each other.
