Abstract: Provided is a vehicle body side structure capable of improving electrodeposition coating of a center pillar, ensuring sealability of door seal members, and further ensuring strength and rigidity. The vehicle body side structure includes front flange bulging portions and rear flange bulging portions on a center pillar inner panel. Further, a center pillar stiffener has front through holes and rear through holes communicating with a first closed cross section. A center pillar outer panel includes front and rear step passages and that communicate the front and rear through holes with a second closed cross section. The center pillar stiffeners is overlapped with the front bulging portions and the rear flange bulging portions so as to form front gap passages and rear gap passages that communicate the first closed cross section with the outside.

Abstract: A vehicle body side structure includes a side panel assembly and a floor assembly. The side panel assembly has a side sill outer panel part fixed to a side sill reinforcement member and a fastening nut provided on a rear end portion of the side sill reinforcement member. The floor assembly has a wheel arch reinforcement member fixed to an inner panel front portion and a collar interposed between the wheel arch reinforcement member and the inner panel front portion. The side panel assembly is assembled to the floor assembly by fastening a fastening bolt to the fastening nut.

Abstract: A mechanism capable of improving the compression efficiency of image data generated by performing the dark reading is provided. An image processing apparatus comprising a reading unit configured to read a document and generate image data, a reading mode setting unit configured to set a reading mode of the reading unit to a first reading mode or a second reading mode, in which the document is read with the amount of light less than that in the first scanning mode, a background color determining unit configured to determine a background color in the image data generated by the reading unit, and a conversion image generating unit configured to generate image data, in which a color close to the background color in the image data is converted into the background color, in a case that the second reading mode is set.

Abstract: The first image data is converted into the second image data defined by a color space that depends on an output apparatus that outputs image data. Additional information is multiplexed on the converted second image data by using a multiplex parameter.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine a region of the image on which to perform character recognition processing, a decision unit configured to decide, based on a number of black pixels in contact with the region determined by the determination unit, whether to perform the character recognition processing on an expanded region obtained by expanding the region determined by the determination unit rather than on the region determined by the determination unit, and a character recognition unit configured to perform the character recognition processing on that region of the image decided by the decision unit.

Abstract: A vehicle body side part structure (10) includes a roof side rail (17) and a quarter pillar (15). The roof side rail extends in a vehicle body forward/rearward direction to form a first hollow structure. In the quarter pillar, a second hollow structure is formed, and an upper end portion is connected so as to cross the roof side rail. In addition, in the quarter pillar, an opening section (71) at which the roof side rail is opened, is closed by a lid part (48f) at the upper end portion, in an intersecting part of the roof side rail and the upper end portion of the quarter pillar.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and a method of controlling the image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing apparatus holds a type of image data and a setting item of image processing corresponding to the type in association with each other, and obtains, by applying a learned learning model to image data which are input, a result of classifying the image data into the type. The image processing apparatus presents, based on the setting item input by a user and the held setting item that corresponds to the type of the obtained image, a recommended setting item corresponding to the image data to the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a technique to obtain a tilt state occurring between an image capturing unit and a print image having additional information embedded in it without using the visible image. In the technique, an image of a print image in which additional information having a specified frequency characteristic is embedded is captured using an image capturing unit to obtain captured image data. A frequency analysis is performed on partial image data corresponding to a specified area in the obtained captured image data, to obtain distance information on a distance between the specified area and the image capturing unit. Inclination information indicating a state of a relative inclination between the image capturing unit and the print image is obtained based on this distance.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle body side structure to reduce a center pillar in weight and suitably prevent deformation of the center pillar and separation of a stiffener from a roof side rail due to a side collision load. The vehicle body side structure includes a stiffener having a stiffener upper part provided above a central part in a height direction of a center pillar. The upper end of the stiffener upper part is joined to a roof side rail from an outer side in the vehicle width direction. The stiffener upper part has a trough extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle and recessed inward in the vehicle width direction. The trough 81d is recessed deeper as coming closer to a central part in the vertical direction of the stiffener upper part from the upper end and a lower end of the stiffener upper part.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a reduction unit configured to perform color reduction processing for quantizing a color in the generated image data, a change unit configured to change, in a case where brightness of an edge pixel indicating an edge portion in an image based on the image data with the color quantized is equal to or higher than a threshold value, a pixel value of the edge pixel to a pixel value of a color of a pixel having highest brightness among pixels surrounding the edge pixel, and change, in a case where the brightness of the edge pixel is lower than the threshold value, the pixel value of the edge pixel to a pixel value of a color of a pixel having lowest brightness among the pixels surrounding the edge pixel.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to reduce the load of a user in a case where multiplexed information is embedded in an image. One embodiment of the present invention is an image processing apparatus having: a recognition unit configured to recognize an object within an image; a selection unit configured to select additional information corresponding to an object recognized by the recognition unit from among additional information stored in a storage unit; and a layout unit configured to lay out the additional information so that at least a part of an area in which additional information selected by the selection unit is embedded overlaps an area of an object recognized by the recognition unit.
