Abstract: An electromagnetic wave blocking structure includes: an electrically conductive flat belt that is wound around a pair of rollers arranged in parallel below a metal floor, and is exposed through an opening formed in the metal floor in such a manner that a tire of a vehicle are placed thereon; and an electrically conductive electromagnetic wave blocking roller that is disposed between the metal floor and the flat belt at the opening, is conductively connected with the metal floor, and is in contact with the flat belt to rotate along with the movement of the flat belt.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave heating apparatus includes: an electrically conductive housing; an electromagnetic wave generating unit that generates electromagnetic waves which are linearly polarized waves; a plurality of radiating units that radiate, to an inside of the housing, the electromagnetic waves generated by the electromagnetic wave generating unit; a directivity control unit that controls directivity of the electromagnetic waves from the plurality of radiating units; and an electromagnetic wave absorbing unit that is disposed inside the housing in such a manner that the electromagnetic wave absorbing unit aligns with a vibration plane of the electromagnetic waves, and absorbs electromagnetic waves inside the housing.

Abstract: An image processing and inspection system includes a master device (10) having a video camera (40) and a first controller (20) responsible for processing and inspecting the image of an object (1) in accordance with inspection criteria. Intercommunicated (12) with the master device (10) is a personal computer (100) equipped with a second monitor (120), and a second input member (102,104). The motion-picture taken by the camera (40) for inspection on the side of the master device (10) is transmitted to the computer (100) so as to be displayed on the second monitor (120) as a real-time image of the object (1) for easy confirmation of the object on the side of the computer (100), thereby enabling to determine the inspection criteria on the side of the computer (100) while monitoring the real-time image of the object (1).

Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus for detecting pattern matching between an input mage and a template image at high speed by reducing memory access times. The image processing apparatus includes a first memory for storing a reference pattern as a template, a second memory for storing an input image for which pattern matching with the template is to be detected, means for compressing the template from the first memory and the input image from the second memory by a predetermined compression ratio, a compressed data memory for storing the compressed input image and the compressed template from the compressing means, a main processor for computing inter-correlation between the compressed input image and the compressed template by scanning the compressed input image for each sub-block thereof and determining a location of the compressed input mage showing a best match in a current pattern matching mode.
