  • Publication number: 20120114177
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing system in which an image capture apparatus and an image processing apparatus are connected to each other via a network. When a likelihood indicating the probability that a detection target object detected from a captured image is a predetermined type of object does not meet a designated criterion, the image capture apparatus generates tentative object information for the detection target object, and transmits it to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus detects, from detection targets designated by the tentative object information, a detection target as the predetermined type of object.

  • Patent number: 6120280
    Abstract: A microprism master mold is formed from a plurality of flat sheets having two mutually parallel major surfaces. On one edge thereof, there is provided a series of V-shaped grooves having a bottom angle of about 90.degree. and roof-shaped projections having a vertical angle of about 90.degree., successively formed at a fixed repeating pitch and in a direction perpendicular to the major surfaces. The flat sheets are stacked so that the vertices of the roof-shaped projections formed on each flat sheet meet the bottoms of the V-shaped grooves formed on an adjacent flat sheet. The microprism master mold includes two or more different types of roof-shaped projections and the thickness of each flat sheet is equal to 0.6-2.0 times the length of the shorter oblique sides of the roof-shaped projections. The master mold is useful for production of cube-corner type retroreflectors characterized by microprism having high brightness and excellent wide-angle properties.
