Abstract: An image of a plurality of areas of which two adjacent areas have different image characteristics from each other are acquired (steps 111 through 114); the image is analyzed in light of the difference between image characteristics, for example textures, of the two adjacent areas (step 115), and information about the boundary between the two adjacent areas is obtained (step 116). And by detecting shape information and/or position information of a given image area based on the obtained boundary information, shape information, position information, optical characteristic information, etc., of the object are detected (step 117). Thus, shape information, position information, optical characteristic information, etc., of the object are accurately detected.

Abstract: In a connection admission controlling system, a call admission processing and allocating device judges whether or not a call is admitted in response to a peak rate of a traffic and allocates, as a temporary bandwidth, the peak rate to the call when the call is admitted. A resource controlling device has a connection call controlling table which holds call connection data of calls each of which has at least one of the temporary bandwidth and an effective bandwidth. A traffic measuring device measures a traffic of the call to produce a measured traffic. An effective bandwidth computing and allocating device has a new call controlling table which holds new call connection data representing data of calls each of which have the temporary bandwidth. The effective bandwidth computing and allocating device computes the effective bandwidth by using the measured traffic and allocates the effective bandwidth to the call.

Abstract: In a self-healing communications network of meshed topology, wherein a group of network nodes form part of the network and support a communication route, a delay time period is established for each network node of the group in response to the occurrence of a failure in the communication route, the delay time period of each network node of the group being different from the delay time periods of other network nodes of the group. A self-healing fault restoration activity is initiated from each of the network nodes of the group when the amount of time elapsed from the time of occurrence of the failure equals the delay time period established for each network node. As a result, self-healing fault restoration activities are initiated from several network nodes at successively delayed instants, and control traffic is time-dispersed, preventing traffic concentration of fault restoration messages.

Abstract: In a reconfigurable network shared by multiple users, a reservation request is sent from a user who desires to establish a network resource in the network. The request contains indications of a circuit assigned to the user, a network resource desired to be allocated from the resource of the assigned circuit, dates and start and end times of a reservation time span. A reservation system includes an interface connected to the user networks for receiving the request, a first database, a second database for storing resources respectively assigned to the user networks. An admission controller connected to the interface is responsive to a user's request for accessing the first and second databases to verify the availability of the desired resource, and informs the user as to the results of the verification. If the desired resource is available, the data of the request is stored into the first database. As a separate unit, a link control module is provided which is connected to one of the interconnection switches.

Abstract: A video-on-demand system provides video signals from a video information provider to any one of subscriber terminals. The system comprises video storage devices distributed over a network area for storing a video program supplied from the video information provider. A video gateway receives a subscriber request from a subscriber terminal and produces a control signal according to the information stored in a database. A service request monitor analyzes subscriber requests received by the video gateway to produce a list of recorded calls. A program relocator analyzes the list to determine first and second video storage devices between which the video program is to be transferred. A transfer command generator is responsive to the determined video storage devices for supplying a program transfer command signal to the video gateway for updating the database.
