  • Patent number: 11935275
    Abstract: An image processing method includes: extracting, based on pixel values of a plurality of pixels of an image obtained, a plurality of first current pixels having pixel values included in a first color range including a specific color range that defines a specific color, from the plurality of pixels; excluding, in second region different from a first region including a center region of the image, (i) a low saturation pixel from the plurality of first current pixels when the number of low saturation pixels is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and (ii) a high saturation pixel, which has a pixel value included in a high saturation range, from the plurality of first current pixels when the number of high saturation pixels is greater than or equal to a second threshold value; and outputting a plurality of second current pixels obtained as a result of the excluding.

  • Publication number: 20230069920
    Abstract: An estimation device includes: an obtainer that obtains first content associated with a first time and second content associated with a second time, the second time preceding the first time by a predetermined amount of time; a determiner that, by applying first processing for determining a type of content to each of the first content and the second content, obtains first type information indicating a type of the first content and second type information indicating a type of the second content; a calculator that, using the first type information and the second type information, calculates confidence level information indicating a confidence level of the first type information; and an outputter that, using the confidence level information calculated by the calculator, outputs specifying information specifying the type of the first content derived from the first type information.

  • Publication number: 20230036109
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an obtainer that obtains a single image and meta information indicating additional information of the image; and an analyzer that performs an analysis of a meaning of the image and the meta information obtained, determines an event shown in the image, using the meaning obtained by the analysis, and outputs event information that identifies the event determined.

  • Patent number: 9775268
    Abstract: A receiving device includes a shield case which is in a hollow box shape that is open on one side. The shield case reduces external interfering signals which interfere with an input signal of a broadcast wave. A printed wiring board includes a conductive portion that is electrically connected with an electronic component. A soldered portion is formed along a protrusion-free linearly extending side of an opening edge of the shield case. The soldered portion electrically connects with solder the shield case and the conductive portion.

  • Patent number: 6655489
    Abstract: A vehicular pedal displacement prevention structure has a rotatable lever, which can be brought into contact with a pedal arm, provided at an end of an extending side of a pedal bracket, and a guide member opposed to the rotatable lever provided in a deck cross pipe disposed at the rear of a vehicle to be remote from a dash panel. When an external force equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the front of the vehicle to move a pedal bracket toward the rear of the vehicle, the rotatable member is brought into contact with the guide member, which causes the rotatable member to rotate. The rotating action of the rotatable lever relatively displaces the pedal arm toward the front of the vehicle. This prevents rearward displacement of a pedal in a head-on collision of the vehicle with a simple structure that does not require high assembling accuracy.
