Abstract: An image processing device includes a camera mounted on a vehicle to capture an image around the vehicle, a marker detector to carry out an edge detection process on the image to detect corner markers on one end of a parking frame, a provisional parking frame setting part to set a provisional parking frame based on the detected corner markers on the one end, and a parking frame identifying part to identify the parking frame. The marker detector detects corner markers on the other end of the parking frame in directions along sidelines of the provisional parking frame, and the parking frame identifying part identifies the parking frame based on the corner markers on the one end and the corner markers on the other end.

Abstract: An electrocontact discharge dressing for a grinding wheel is performed by contacting a grinding surface of the grinding wheel, which is formed by bonding super hard diamond grains with a metal-based bond, with a pair of electrodes made of steels for general structure, rotating the grinding wheel for grinding a contact surface of each of the pair of electrodes with the rotating grinding wheel to form flow type chips in the contact surface, and applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes to generate an electric discharge from the flow type chips toward the metal-based bond of the rotating grinding wheel whereby the metal-based bond is molten due to heat of the electric discharge, and removed from the grinding wheel to enable dressing of the grinding wheel with excellent dressing efficiency.
