  • Patent number: 11562175
    Abstract: An abnormality detection apparatus including a feature extraction circuit configured to extract a feature point and a feature value of a first image, and a feature point and a feature value of a second image, a flow calculation circuit configured to calculate, based on the feature value of the first image, a first abnormality detection circuit configured to detect an abnormality in the first image based on a first optical flow, and to detect an abnormality in the second image based on a third optical flow, and a second abnormality detection circuit configured to detect an abnormality in the first or second image based on a result of a comparison between the second optical flow and a fourth optical flow.

  • Patent number: 10679102
    Abstract: An abnormality detection apparatus includes a feature extraction unit configured to extract an image feature according to a common algorithm, a flow calculation unit, a first abnormality detection unit, and a second abnormality detection unit. An extraction range for the image feature is composed of a predetermined first partial area in a first image, a predetermined second partial area in a second image, and areas near places in the first and second images predicted as destinations of the feature point. The first abnormality detection unit detects an abnormality in the first (second) image based on an optical flow for a feature point in the first (second) partial area. The second abnormality detection unit detects an abnormality by using a feature point in a first overlapped extraction area defined in a first overlapped area and a feature point in a second overlapped extraction area defined in a second overlapped area.
