Patent number: 8525904Abstract: A process output image generator generates one sheet of a process output image by performing a process using plural sheets of captured images sequentially output from a pickup device in consideration of one of the plural sheets of captured images as a reference image. A deterioration corrector corrects the image deterioration occurring in the captured images by an optical pickup system, with respect to the captured images in a front end of the process output image generator. A controller can control whether to perform the correction in the deterioration corrector for one sheet of the captured images, and controls to perform the correction with respect to at least the reference image among the plural sheets of captured images.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Koji Mitsuya, Tohru Kurata

Patent number: 8363130Abstract: An image processing device, an image processing method, and a capturing device are disclosed to correct image distortion, such as distortion aberration or chromatic aberration, produced on a captured image by an optical pickup system, with respect to an image captured by a capturing element. The image processing device includes a process output image generation means generating one sheet of a process output image by performing a process using plural sheets of captured images sequentially output from a pickup device in consideration of one of the plural sheets of captured images as a reference image, and a correction means correcting image distortion occurring in the captured images by an optical pickup system including a pickup lens, with respect to the captured images produced in the process output image generation means, when the plural sheets of the captured images are obtained.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Koji Mitsuya, Tohru Kurata

Patent number: 6907384Abstract: A method and system for managing a construction machine whereby working time for each of different parts of a hydraulic excavator is measured. Measured data is stored in a memory of a controller and then transferred to a base station computer via satellite communication to be stored in a database. At each repair/replacement of a part in each hydraulic excavator, the base station computer calculates, based on the operation data, a replacement time interval of the part on the basis of the working time per section to which the part belongs, and then stores and accumulates it. The base station computer also reads the stored data for each hydraulic excavator, determines, for each part, a replacement rate of the part having a substantially equal replacement time interval, and calculates a target replacement time interval of the part in accordance with the replacement time interval corresponding to a maximum replacement rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2001Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Adachi, Toichi Hirata, Genroku Sugiyama, Hiroshi Watanabe, Koichi Shibata, Hideki Komatsu, Shuichi Miura, Koji Mitsuya, Yoshiaki Saito, Atsushi Sato

Patent number: 6832175Abstract: A hydraulic excavator 1 working in fields includes a controller 2 for measuring a working time for each of an engine 32, a front 15, a swing body 13, and a travel body 12, storing measured data in a memory of the controller 2, and then transferring it to a base station computer 3 via satellite communication, an FD, etc. The transferred data is stored as a database 100 in the base station computer 3. The base station computer 3 reads the data stored in the database 100 for each hydraulic excavator, calculates a working time of a part belonging to each section on the basis of the working time of that section, and compares the calculated working time with a preset target replacement time interval of the relevant part, thereby calculating a remaining time up to next replacement of the relevant part and managing the scheduled replacement timing thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2002Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Adachi, Toichi Hirata, Genroku Sugiyama, Hiroshi Watanabe, Shuichi Miura, Koji Mitsuya, Yoshiaki Saito, Atsushi Sato
