  • Publication number: 20190147282
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for enhancing operability of a mobile apparatus. An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a first processing unit (2020), a second processing unit (2040), and a control unit (2060). The first processing unit (2020) generates information indicating an event detection position in accordance with a position on a surveillance image set in a first operation. The first operation is an operation with respect to the surveillance image displayed on a display screen. The second processing unit (2040) performs a display change process with respect to the surveillance image or a window including the surveillance image. The control unit (2060) causes any one of the first processing unit (2020) and the second processing unit (2040) to process the first operation on the basis of a second operation.

  • Patent number: 9805443
    Abstract: A tentative local score between a point in a feature image in a template image and a point, in a target object image, at a position corresponding to the point in the feature image is calculated, and a determination is performed as to whether the tentative local score is smaller than 0. In a case where the tentative local score is greater than or equal to 0, the tentative local score is employed as a local score. In a case where the tentative local score is smaller than 0, the tentative local score is multiplied by a coefficient and the result is employed as a degree of local similarity.

  • Publication number: 20170177970
    Abstract: To each of points at a position corresponding to each of candidate points extracted from a target object image in a layer upper than a target object image, an area including the point at the position corresponding to the candidate point and an area threshold are set. As a result of predicting a degree of similarity, in a case where the degree of similarity has a value smaller than the area threshold, calculation of the degree of similarity is terminated in the middle. In a case where the degree of similarity has a value equal to or greater than the area threshold, calculation of the degree of similarity is continued, and in a case where the degree of similarity has a value greater than the area threshold when calculation of the degree of similarity is completed, a next area threshold is updated with a value greater than the area threshold.

  • Patent number: 9292932
    Abstract: A three-dimensional measurement method three-dimensionally restores an edge having a cross angle close to parallel to an epipolar line. Edges e2L, e3L and e4L on the same plane of a work are selected, and among these edges, at least two edges e2L and e4L residing in a predetermined angle range with reference to the cross angle of 90° crossing the epipolar line are three-dimensionally restored by a stereo method. Then, a three-dimensional plane P1 including these three-dimensionally restored e2L and e4L is found, and the edge e3L residing beyond a predetermined angle range with reference to the cross angle of 90° crossing the epipolar line is projected to this three-dimensional plane P1, thus three-dimensionally restoring the edge e3L.

  • Patent number: 7501317
    Abstract: A junction leak current of a transistor including a silicide layer provided on a source/drain region is to be suppressed. After forming a gate electrode over a chip-side surface of a silicon substrate, an insulating layer is formed over the gate electrode. The insulating layer is etched back so as to form a sidewall that covers the sidewall of the gate electrode, and a region adjacent to the sidewall on the chip-side surface of the silicon substrate, where a source/drain region is to be formed, is etched so as to form a generally horizontal scraped section on the chip-side surface. Then a dopant is implanted to the silicon substrate around the gate electrode, to thereby form the source/drain region. On the chip-side surface of the silicon substrate where the gate electrode is provided, a Ni layer is formed, so that the Ni layer is reacted with the silicon substrate thus to form a Ni-silicide layer.
