  • Publication number: 20240134047
    Abstract: A transport possibility determination device comprises a distance measurement unit and a control unit. The distance measurement unit acquires information about the distance to an object. The control unit determines the state of a load when the object is a transport platform on which the load has been placed, on the basis of the information about the distance to the object acquired by the distance measurement unit. The control unit determines whether or not a transportable condition, which is a condition for permitting a forklift to transport the load, is met on the basis of the determined state of the load.

  • Publication number: 20240020944
    Abstract: A method and system for sampling and augmenting a dataset associated with a first class and a second class, respectively, to balance the dataset of images is described. The method includes receiving a required number of reduced set of dataset images associated with the first class, creating a plurality of clusters from a set of images associated with the first class, and selecting a representative image from each cluster to provide a reduced set of images. Further, a median image and a non-defect artifact mask is generated corresponding to the set of images associated with the first class. Additionally, a defect foreground is extracted based on the median image and each defect image of another set of images associated with the second class. Finally, the at least one non-defect artifact is removed from the defect foreground to provide a new synthetic defect image for each defect image for augmentation.

  • Publication number: 20230410981
    Abstract: A medical image display system is a medical image display system that displays a medical image. The medical image includes an image in which at least one annotation indicating a detection result of at least one anatomical structure shown in a captured image of a subject is superimposed on the captured image. The medical image display system includes: a display that displays the medical image; and a controller that, when a size of an annotation indicating an anatomical structure having an abnormality among the at least one annotation is less than a threshold value, causes the display to superimpose a probabilistic atlas indicating a normal structure assumed in a case where the anatomical structure having the abnormality is normal, on the captured image.
