  • Patent number: 11890721
    Abstract: A screw rotor lead correction calculation device includes an initial data input section configured to input an error as a distance with respect to a reference lead at each axial position of a rotor groove portion of a screw rotor, and a processing machine input correction amount/position output section configured to compute and output, based on the error as the distance input to the initial data input section, a lead correction amount with respect to the reference lead and a lead correction starting position as an axial position for starting lead correction. With this configuration, correction data for obtaining a screw rotor with a high-accuracy lead can be obtained from a lead error with respect to a reference lead in a screw rotor obtained by ground finish of the material of the screw rotor.

A first feature vector of each segment is calculated, the first feature vector having has a plurality of elements corresponding to each reference model. A value of an element attenuates when a feature of the segment shifts from a center of a distribution of the reference model corresponding to the element. A similarity between two reference models is calculated. A second feature vector of each segment is calculated, the second feature vector having a plurality of elements corresponding to each reference model. A value of an element is a weighted sum and segments of second feature vectors of which the plurality of elements are similar values are clustered to one class.

  • Patent number: 8224038
    Abstract: When groups of coordinates of face areas respectively contained in mutually different frames are within a predetermined error range, a face attribute assigning unit assigns mutually the same face attribute value to each of the face areas. In the case where a difference in the feature amounts between the frames is within a predetermined error range, a similar shot detecting unit detects that the shots from which the frames have respectively been extracted are similar shots to each of which mutually the same shot attribute value is assigned. In the case where it is judged that face areas that respectively appear in the frames contained in the similar shots and to which mutually different face attribute values have respectively been assigned represent the face of mutually the same person, the face attribute re-assigning unit assigns mutually the same face attribute value to each of the face areas.

  • Publication number: 20100272365
    Abstract: Shot groups that include face areas and satisfy a predetermined criterion are selected out of shot groups that are sets of similar shots. Face areas included in the same shot group are classified according to features. A classified face area group included in the same shot group is presumed to be that of the same person and selected as the face area group of a main character. Consequently, the main character is selected by combining similarity of shots forming a picture and face area detection. Therefore, even in a picture including a character whose face cannot be detected in a part of shot sections, it is possible to order and select characters and select a face of a main character more conforming to actual program contents in a television program than that in the related art.
