Abstract: The method comprises applying a spot load to a joint part between a first metal material and a second metal material in a state where sites to form the joint part are superposed on each other. When a total thickness of the first metal material and the second metal material at the joint part before bonding is defined as T0 mm, the total thickness thereof after bonding is defined as T1 mm, and T0/T1=R is defined as a reduction ratio, the reduction ratio R is 1.4 or more.

Abstract: An electronic album is created taking into consideration the intentions of the user regarding electronic album creation. Face images are extracted from among a number of images for an electronic album and the face images are displayed on a display screen. A face image of an important person is dragged and dropped onto an important image setting area, and the face image of a person not required to be included in the electronic album is dragged and dropped onto an excluded image setting area. An electronic album in line with user intentions is created so as to increase the proportion of images of an important person and exclude images of unwanted persons.

Abstract: Specifying information for specifying a surrounding inspection target which is an inspection target present in a predetermined range with respect to the imaging terminal is acquired from the imaging terminal. The surrounding inspection target is specified among the plurality of inspection targets on the basis of the specifying information. It is evaluated whether or not there is an image acquisition area in which acquisition of a new captured image is necessary for the surrounding inspection target on the basis of a result of accessing a database that stores maintenance and inspection information including at least a captured image for each of the plurality of inspection targets and referring to the maintenance and inspection information of the surrounding inspection target. Image acquisition area information indicating the image acquisition area in which the acquisition of a new captured image is evaluated to be necessary is output to the imaging terminal.

Abstract: A first inspection result regarding a construction is obtained, the first inspection result including a usage condition and a locational and environmental condition of the construction and an inspection image. An image feature of the inspection image is obtained from the first inspection result, the image feature including a damage feature. One or more second inspection results corresponding to one of the image feature or a construction condition that includes at least one of the usage condition or the locational and environmental condition are retrieved. A display unit displays the retrieved one or more second inspection results. One or more specific inspection results that correspond to the other of the image feature or the construction condition are retrieved from among the retrieved one or more second inspection results. The display unit displays the one or more specific inspection results preferentially over the other inspection results among the second inspection results.

Abstract: It is detected whether a grid stripe is present in a radiographic image. In a case in which the grid stripe is detected, a process of removing the grid stripe from the radiographic image is performed and the radiographic image is displayed. In a case in which the grid stripe is not detected, a process of removing a scattered component from the radiographic image is performed and a radiographic image subjected to the scattered radiation removal process and a radiographic image before the process are displayed.

Abstract: A radiographic image captured by irradiating a subject with radiation is acquired. A scattered radiation removal unit removes a scattered component from the radiographic image using at least imaging conditions. A correction information acquisition unit acquires correction information for correcting the degree of removal of the scattered component and changes the imaging conditions on the basis of the correction information. The scattered radiation removal unit performs a process of removing the scattered component from the radiographic image on the basis of the changed imaging conditions.

Abstract: A test chart-forming method, device and a non-transitory recording medium as well as a test chart and an image correction method are provided. By acquiring the image data corresponding to an image and performing an evaluation prior to the regular output of the image, quantitative evaluation of at least one of robustness with respect to streaking and the intensity of streaking is performed. On the basis of the results of the quantitative evaluation, at least one of a specified site of low robustness and a specified site of high intensity is extracted from the image region. On the basis of the color and position of each extracted specified site, the color scheme and layout of at least one test image on a test chart is determined.
