  • Patent number: 12153018
    Abstract: A processing system according to an embodiment includes a processing device. The processing device receives a detection result of a reflected wave from a detector that includes multiple detection elements arranged in a first direction and a second direction crossing each other, and performs a probe that includes transmitting an ultrasonic wave toward a welding object and detecting the reflected wave. The processing device performs a first determination of determining a joint and a non-joint at multiple points along the first and second directions of the welding object based on the detection result. The processing device performs a second determination of determining an appropriateness of a result of the first determination based on the detection result or the result of the first determination.

  • Publication number: 20240382066
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) detects an abnormal region (30) in each of a plurality of video frames (14) constituting video data (12) in which the inside of a body is captured. The information processing apparatus (2000) outputs output information related to the detected abnormal region (30). Herein, the information processing apparatus (2000) starts outputting of the output information when a detection score based on a proportion of the number of the video frames (14) in which the abnormal region (30) is detected becomes equal to or more than a first threshold value in a state where outputting of the output information is not being performed. Further, the information processing apparatus (2000) ends outputting of the output information 10 when the detection score becomes equal to or less than a second threshold value in a state where outputting of the output information is being performed.
