Patent number: 10121252Abstract: Plural block images are generated by dividing an input image into blocks each of which has a predetermined size. Clustering of pixels contained in the plural block images is performed based on a representative point associated with each of those block images to apply region segmentation to those block images. The representative point is a part of plural representative points disposed in the input image. The clustering in a target block image of the region segmentation is performed by referring to a representative point in the target block image, a representative point of a processed block image, and a representative point of an unprocessed block image. The processed and unprocessed block images are adjacent to the target block image.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahiro Ariizumi, Noriyasu Hashiguchi

Patent number: 5529755Abstract: A non-invasive glucose concentration measurement apparatus includes: a light source which projects at the sample radiation of a wavelength range including a wavelength at which absorption greatly changes with glucose concentration but does not greatly vary with temperature; a photosensor which receives the radiation which have been projected by the light source, and transmitted through or reflected by the sample, and generates an electrical signal corresponding to a through-transmitted or reflected level of the radiation of the wavelength; and a calculator which calculates a glucose concentration based on the electrical signal. A more accurate glucose concentration can be obtained without the influence of temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 1995Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Minolta Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kimihiko Higashio, Masahiro Ariizumi
