Abstract: It is aimed to enable analyzing vegetation growth conditions at multiple times of a year accurately using radar images obtainable from a flying body such as artificial satellites, etc. A plurality of radar images of a ground surface of a same target area, which have been taken at multiple times of a year by a radar device mounted on a flying body, are acquired. The acquired plurality of radar images is stored in a map database. While using as a criterion image a radar image of the plurality of radar images stored in the map database, taken at a predetermined time in the multiple times of a year, other radar images than the criterion image of the plurality of radar images, taken at other times than the predetermined time in the multiple times of a year, are aligned with the criterion image, respectively. Then, backscatter coefficients of specified areas in the plurality of radar images are extracted.

Abstract: Replacement of a recording head on a recording apparatus is detected on the basis of a serial number allocated to each recording head. The recording head also carries head characteristic information such as color information, shading information and so forth. When the recording head is replaced with a new one, the head characteristic information of the newly mounted recording head is automatically stored, so that head driving conditions are automatically determined to optimize the recording conditions without requiring any manual adjustment. Recovery operation is automatically executed when replacement of the recording head is detected, so that required recording conditions are recovered without manual instructions.

Abstract: Inspection data 30 can be inspected by comparing reference data and the decrypted inspection data 30 (ST304) and, for example, after the inspection, individual data are encrypted according to their respective levels of secrecy (ST306) and are stored in flash ROMs 5, 6 and 7 (ST306), so that data of high level of secrecy can be prevented from being leaked out and data can be efficiently protected and stored. In addition, there is a case where when the protection level increases, the processing speed required for encryption increases, causing an increase in cost, but since the inspection data 30 is encrypted and stored according to its level of secrecy (ST305), cost reduction can be promoted compared to the case where all data are set to protection level 3. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a data inspection apparatus, a data inspection method and a data inspection program all of which are capable of preventing leak of information.
