  • Publication number: 20240044778
    Abstract: Provided are an inspection method, a program, and an inspection system capable of improving accuracy of inspecting a color of a surface of an object. The inspection method includes acquisition step and comparison step. Acquisition step is a step of acquiring a target image of a surface of an object obtained by an imaging system imaging the surface of the object illuminated by an illumination system. Comparison step, is a step of comparing a color of an attention region on the target image with a color of a reference region. The reference region is a region of a reference image of a surface of a reference object as a reference of a color of the object, and a region corresponding to a combination of an incident angle of light from the illumination system and a reflection angle of light to the imaging system in the attention region.

The second processor acquires present information about the vehicle, and generates present position information on the vehicle and a peripheral object based on the acquired information. The comparator compares the future position information on the vehicle and the present position information on the vehicle and the peripheral object, and generates present image data indicating present positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object and future image data indicating future positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object. Further, the comparator allows a notification device to display a present image based on the present image data and a future image based on the future image data together.

  • Patent number: 10583841
    Abstract: A driving support device as an example of a data processor executes processing for estimating a driving behavior of a vehicle by using a driving behavior model trained based on detection results by a sensor. A detected-information input unit acquires detected information including the detection results. From the detection results included in the detected information input to the detected-information input unit, a selection unit selects a detection result that falls within predetermined selection range narrower than a range detectable by the sensor. A processing unit executes the processing, based on the detection result selected by the selection unit.

  • Publication number: 20190344804
    Abstract: An information processing system includes an incorrectness risk determiner, a safe behavior determiner, and a safety determiner. The incorrectness risk determiner makes a determination on whether or not a behavior estimation result of a vehicle carries an incorrectness risk. The safe behavior determiner classifies parameter values each indicating a travel state of the vehicle into multiple ranges based on travel safety. The safe behavior determiner also determines a safe behavior for the vehicle. By the safe behavior, the travel state of the vehicle is adjusted such that the above parameter values fall under a range with high travel safety. The safety determiner determines a behavior control of the vehicle. When the safety determiner acquires a determination including the incorrectness risk from the incorrectness risk determiner, the safety determiner selects the safe behavior.

  • Publication number: 20190344798
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a safe behavior determiner, clustering range controller, and safety determiner. The safe behavior determiner classifies parameter values indicating a travel state of a vehicle into multiple ranges based on travel safety. The safe behavior determiner also determines a safe behavior for the vehicle by which the travel state of the vehicle is adjusted such that the parameter values fall under a safety range with high travel safety. The clustering range controller changes a position of a boundary between the ranges according to an external environment of the vehicle. The safety determiner acquires a behavior estimation result of the vehicle and the safe behavior determined by the safe behavior determiner, and determines behavior control of the vehicle on the basis of at least the acquired behavior estimation result or safe behavior.
