Abstract: An information processing device includes a controller configured to execute a posture estimation processing by extracting a pair group of line segments based on an optical flow of a feature point on a road surface from a processing target region set in a camera image captured by an in-vehicle camera and by estimating a posture of the in-vehicle camera based on an angle estimation value at which the in-vehicle camera is attached, the angle estimation value being estimated from each pair data included in the pair group. The controller is configured to determine that an attachment state of the in-vehicle camera is abnormal in response to at least one of a data accumulation number of the pair data, a standard deviation of the angle estimation value, or a deviation amount from a given calibration value relating to the posture in the posture estimation processing being out of a preset range.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a controller. The controller is configured to estimate an attitude of an onboard camera, sequentially perform a first calibration process and a second calibration process of the onboard camera, and change a detection accuracy of an image recognition process of a captured image captured by the onboard camera depending on completion statuses of the first calibration process and the second calibration process.

Abstract: An information processing device includes: a controller configured to execute a posture estimation processing by estimating a posture of an in-vehicle camera based on an optical flow of a feature point in a processing target region set in a camera image captured by the in-vehicle camera. The controller is configured to set a position of the processing target region in a vertical direction based on a horizontal line position which is a position of a horizontal line derived from a point where two parallel lines intersect with each other in a real space observed in the camera image, an attachment height of the in-vehicle camera, and a horizontal line deviation amount which is a deviation amount between the horizontal line position and an optical axis center of the in-vehicle camera.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the embodiment includes a control unit (corresponding to an example of a “controller”). The control unit performs attitude estimation processing to estimate the attitude of an onboard camera based on optical flows of feature points in a region of interest set in an image captured by the onboard camera. When the onboard camera is mounted in a first state, the control unit performs first attitude estimation processing using a first region of interest set in a rectangular shape, and, when the onboard camera is mounted in a second state, the control unit performs second attitude estimation processing using a second region of interest set in accordance with the shape of a road surface.

The control unit is fixed to a fixing base which is structured as a composing element of the electric motor, and the fixing base covers the connecting portion between the bus bars and control unit.

Abstract: An electric connector for differential transmission principally transmitting a high-frequency electric signal where a ratio between the interval (a) between both signal terminals constituting a pair terminal being buried in a female contact housing and the interval (b) between the pair terminals is set a<b. Since the both signal terminals are molded integrally while being buried separately in modular housings obtained by dividing the female contact housing along a vertical direction to match ½ of the interval (a) between both signal terminals, the interval (a) of both signal terminals can be kept small and in parallel. Consequently, crosstalk can be improved furthermore.

Abstract: An electric connector includes an insulating housing having slots arranged crosswise in vertical columns and horizontal lines, and signal terminals received in the slots. The signal terminals are paired to be received in each and every slot. The slots are staggered in vertical columns. The slots are so arranged that the ratio of “a”/“b” may be equal to or smaller than ?, where “a” stands for the distance between two signal terminals in each pair, and “b” stands for the distance between adjacent pair sets of signal terminals.

The signal terminals are paired to be received in each and every slot. The slots are staggered in vertical columns. The slots are so arranged that the ratio of “a”/“b” may be equal to or smaller than 1/3, where “a” stands for the distance between two signal terminals in each pair, and “b” stands for the distance between adjacent pair sets of signal terminals.

Abstract: A control system adaptable for use in controlling internal combustion engines has a microcomputer and a hardware circuit reconfigurable in internal logic circuitry in such a manner that the setting of configuration is completed before the microcomputer is rendered operative upon application of a power supply voltage. The microcomputer is assembled in a 4-V guarantee circuit block with its operating guarantee power supply voltage of 4 volts. A 3-V guarantee block includes a random logic circuit and an EEPROM for storage of circuit configuration set data. The 3-V guarantee block also includes a first power-on reset circuit for providing respective sections with a reset-release command signal when an applied power supply voltage potentially rises at 3 volts, and a second power-on reset circuit for forcing the random logic circuit in the reset state until completion of the reconfiguration of the hardware circuit.
