Publication number: 20230081930Abstract: A data collection apparatus collects data used for a process, based on image data representing a group of consecutive images received from an imaging device. A processor of the data collection apparatus is configured to: control transmission of image data to the data collection apparatus; detect an object included in each image of an image group represented by the image data; track a detected object between consecutive images; store object image data relating to each object tracked; and calculate a number of objects included in an image represented by the image data. The control of transmission of the image data or the detection of the objects is performed such that an amount of data per unit number of objects is smaller when the calculated number of objects is relatively larger, as compared to when the number is relatively smaller.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Daiki Yokoyama, Akihito Ito, Ryo Nakabayashi, Tatsuya Imamura, Tomohiro Kaneko, Hiroki Murata

Publication number: 20030174279Abstract: When a photographing switch (55) is operated, a mirror (26) is moved out of the optical path, a strobe (14) is made to emit a flash of light, and the eye to be examined is photographed by a photographing unit (33). The image of the eye is recorded in image primary recording means (52). In such an arrangement, the image of an eye to be examined can be recorded in image primary recording means provided in the unit of the photographing device. Therefore, the image can be taken independently of the recording preparation state of an external recording device, the timing of flash of the strobe can be set not through an external recording device, and the image of an eye can be reliably and smoothly recorded. Further, since the image recorded in image primary recording means can be recorded in image secondary recording means (60), the same effect of recording the image in an external recording device can be produced if the image secondary recording means is provided to an external recording device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2003Publication date: September 18, 2003Inventors: Koji Kobayashi, Takayoshi Suzuki, Hiroki Imamura, Hiroki Nagayama
