  • Patent number: 10830637
    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis device, which is capable of detecting that a vibration sensor is detached from a measurement object, includes a vibration sensor and a control device. The vibration sensor is attached to a measurement object, and measures vibration of the measurement object. The control device determines whether or not the vibration sensor is detached from the measurement object, based on data received from the vibration sensor. The control device calculates a first partial overall value in a first frequency band. The control device calculates a second partial overall value in a second frequency band which is higher than the first frequency band. The control device calculates an index value having a correlation with a ratio between the first partial overall value and the second partial overall value. The control device determines whether or not the vibration sensor is detached from the measurement object, based on the index value.

  • Publication number: 20200272848
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that are designed to enable easy generation of a path for successively displaying characteristic images. The information processing device includes a setting unit that sets a path for connecting characteristic portions in at least one image by referring to metadata including at least information about feature points detected from the image. The setting unit sets the path by determining a regression curve, using the feature points. In a case where the feature points include a feature point at a distance equal to or longer than a predetermined threshold value from the regression curve, the setting unit redetermines the regression curve after removing a feature point detected from an image including a feature point having a low score among the feature points. The present technology can be applied to information processing devices that process still images and moving images.

  • Patent number: 10628956
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a video processing device, a video processing method, and a program for providing a bullet time video centering on a moving object. The video processing device acquires view point position information indicating the range of movement of a view point position for an object in an input image frame where the object is imaged in chronological order at multiple different view point positions. Time information indicates a time range in the chronological order of imaging the input image frame. The device processes the input image frame such that the object is at a specific position on an output image frame when the view point position moves within the time range indicated by the time information and the view point position movement range indicated by the view point position information.
