  • Publication number: 20190057496
    Abstract: Captured images acquired by a plurality of imaging units are output to a captured image combining unit, which generates a composite image by joining the captured images in accordance with composite setting information generated by a composite setting information generation unit. A specific region information generation unit generates specific region information indicating the specific region corresponding to a specific imaging region in the composite image. In accordance with the specific region information, the captured image combining unit can easily perform an invalidation or emphasizing process, for example, on the image corresponding to the specific imaging region. The specific region information is also associated with the composite image generated by the captured image combining unit, so that reproduction control on the specific region corresponding to the specific imaging region in the composite image can be performed at the time of reproduction or the like of the composite image.

  • Patent number: 9663332
    Abstract: A notification device is used in a moving device and comprises a main unit that can move a moving body by a driving force of a motor and a control unit that controls the motor in response to an operation input. The notification device comprises an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the motor from the control unit and a notification unit that, when the motor is in operation, makes a notification different from a notification at the time when the motor is stopped.

  • Publication number: 20160259347
    Abstract: In a movement control apparatus manipulation can be carried out while watching the movement of the moving body, without needing to watch one's hands, so even a novice operator can perform the manipulation easily, safely, reliably, and quickly. The apparatus can include a signal transmission cable, a casing of a manipulation remote controller disposed at one end of the cable, a rotary encoder that produces a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing, and a motor drive control circuit that is disposed on the other side of the cable and controls the movement of a moving body on the basis of a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing. The signal corresponding to the direction of the casing can be supplied from the rotary encoder, through the cable, to the motor drive control circuit.

  • Patent number: 6686590
    Abstract: There is disclosed a low-vacuum scanning electron microscope wherein a bias voltage is applied to a specimen. A primary electron beam is made to strike the specimen, producing secondary electrons which are accelerated by an electric field producing an electron avalanche effect. Positive ions traveling toward the specimen reach the specimen or specimen holder. Then, the electrons lose their electric charge and return to molecules. In this way, a scanned image corresponding to a secondary electron image can be obtained based on the specimen current.
