  • Patent number: 8767800
    Abstract: A protection relay device includes: an analog-to-digital converter that samples an analog signal inputted from an analog input unit and converts the analog signal into digital data; a variable filter that filters and outputs the digital data, the variable filter having a filter coefficient that is varied by external control; and an adaptive controller that variably controls the filter coefficient of the variable filter so that a difference between the digital data filtered by the variable filter and a target signal decreases.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6195460
    Abstract: Collation Fourier image data (FIG. 1D) FB generated by performing the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (DFT) for the image data (FIG. 1C) of a collation pattern is synthesized with registration Fourier image data (FIG. 1B) generated by performing the two-dimensional DFT for the image data of a registration pattern. After amplitude suppression processing is performed for the resultant data, two-dimensional DFT is performed. A correlation peak is extracted from a correlation component area which appears in the synthesized Fourier image data (FIG. 1E) for which the two-dimensional DFT has been performed. A predetermined area including this correlation peak is then masked (FIG. 1F). The two-dimensional DFT is performed for the masked synthesized Fourier image data, and amplitude restoration processing is performed for the data. The resultant data is re-synthesized with the registration Fourier image data FA, and the two-dimensional IDFT is performed for the synthesized data.

  • Patent number: 5915034
    Abstract: In a pattern processing apparatus, a registration data preparation unit performs two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of image data of a registration pattern to prepare registration Fourier image data. A collation data preparation unit performs two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of image data of a collation pattern to prepare collation Fourier image data. A data synthesizing unit synthesizes the registration Fourier image data with the collation Fourier image data, both of which consist of phase and amplitude information, to output first synthesized Fourier image data. An image processing unit performs Fourier transform of the first synthesized Fourier image data to output second synthesized Fourier image data representing intensities of correlation components.
