  • Patent number: 11987478
    Abstract: Provided is a guide display device with which incorrect recognition of a place having small features as a ground surface having no features can be suppressed in generating and updating a three-dimensional map. A data processing unit (70): detects an edge (Eg) of a feature (E) on the basis of a result of subjecting image data captured by a camera (61) to image processing, and recognizes the feature (E) on the basis of the edge (Eg); and accumulates, from a predetermined number of frames from before the time at which the image data was captured, point group data (P) of a nearby range (Ma) of the edge (Eg) of the feature (E) that was recognized as a ground surface (F), and generates, on the basis of the accumulated point group data (P), a three-dimensional map (M) of the feature (E) the edge (Eg) of which has been recognized.

  • Patent number: 11958725
    Abstract: A guide display unit for a crane, wherein a data processing unit: calculates a measurement area corresponding to the measurement area of a camera; the measurement area from the viewpoint of the camera and generates a first image; performs mosaic-processing on the image captured by the camera according to the particle size of the three-dimensional map and generates a second image; performs registration processing on the first image and the second image and calculates the amount of deviation between the first image and the second image; corrects the position of a guide frame figure with respect to the image of a suspended load and a feature on the basis of the calculated amount of deviation; and overlays the guide frame figure on the images of the suspended load and the feature and displays the result on the data display unit.

  • Patent number: 11527177
    Abstract: Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

  • Publication number: 20130271580
    Abstract: The present invention is a 3-dimensional image capturing method and a 3-dimensional image capturing apparatus for capturing a 3-dimensional image including a left eye image and a right eye image that are 2-dimensional images having parallax with each other. In the invention, an optical axis of an image capturing optical system of the image capturing apparatus is shifted between a first optical axis and a second optical axis whose image capturing ranges overlap at least partly, without moving the image captuing apparatus itself, and in the shift of the optical axis, one of the left eye image and the right eye image is captured at the timing when the optical axis of the image capturing optical system is being the first optical axis, and the other of the left eye image and the right eye image is captured at the timing when the optical axis of the image capturing optical system is being the second optical axis.
