  • Patent number: 10328866
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus for processing an image according to one embodiment includes a generating unit, a display control unit, and a change receiving unit. The display control unit generates a synthetic image providing a view of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, based on a plurality of onboard camera images. The display control unit displays the generated synthetic image on a display unit. The change receiving unit receives a change in the relative positional relation between an image region that is based on one of the camera images and image regions that are based on the other camera images in the synthetic image. The generating unit generates a synthetic image, based on a changed positional relation every time a change in the positional relation is received.

  • Publication number: 20170300837
    Abstract: In a business operation evaluation system, a business operation data collecting unit collects business operation data related to a business operation. A first database stores therein analysis data used to analyze the collected business operation data. A second database stores therein names of business operation phases indicating stages of the business operation and names of processes included in the business operation phases. The names of business operation phases and the names of processes are associated with each other. An analyzing unit analyzes the collected business operation data using the analysis data stored in the first database. A third database stores therein analysis result data as evaluation target data. A fourth database stores therein the analysis result data as past data. An evaluating unit evaluates the evaluation target data by comparing the evaluation target data with the past data stored in the fourth database.

  • Publication number: 20130314533
    Abstract: A position identifying part identifies positions of mark images in a captured image obtained by capturing an image of two marks by the camera. Then an error deriving part derives an error rate err of an actual image height r? to a design image height r based on the positions of the two mark images. Moreover, a distortion deriving part derives an actual distortion of the camera based on the error rate err and a distortion characteristic defined in advance from design.

  • Patent number: 7711467
    Abstract: In a side door collision detecting system for a vehicle, an internal pressure sensor detects a door internal pressure of a side door of the vehicle. The internal pressure sensor outputs an internal pressure signal based on the door internal pressure, and the internal pressure sensor is installed in an interior space of the side door. A physical value sensor detects a physical value and outputs a physical value signal based on the physical value. The physical value sensor is installed in the interior space of the side door. A collision determining circuit determines whether the side collision occurs based on the internal pressure signal and the physical value signal.

  • Patent number: 7406875
    Abstract: A pressure sensor is provided with a housing which has an opening portion for communicating an interior of the housing with an exterior, and a pressure detecting unit which has a detection surface for detecting a pressure applied thereto through the opening and is arranged in the housing. One of a perimeter of the detection surface and that of the opening portion has a protrusion portion which protrudes toward other of the perimeters. The other of the perimeters has a groove, into which a tip of the protrusion portion is inserted. A seal member is arranged between the groove and the protrusion portion, to seal therebetween and buffer stress caused by relative displacement between the housing and the pressure detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 7313970
    Abstract: A diaphragm-type pressure sensing apparatus includes a pressure sensor having a diaphragm for converting pressure into an electrical signal, a circuit board for processing the electrical signal, and a housing in which the pressure sensor and the circuit board are sealed. The pressure sensor is bonded to the housing and sandwiched between the circuit board fixed to the housing and the housing. This structure reduces compressive stress applied to the pressure sensor and the circuit board so that accuracy of the pressure sensing apparatus can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20070045027
    Abstract: A collision detecting system is provided to detect a collision of a vehicle based on a pressure variation in a substantially closed space which is arranged at a periphery portion of the vehicle. The collision detecting system has a sensing unit which detects a pressure in the space. The sensing unit is arranged at the vehicle in such a manner that a detection direction of the sensing unit is slanted with respect to the direction of an impact on the vehicle due to the collision. Therefore, the vehicle vibration excited by the impact can be restricted from influencing the detection result of the pressure in the space by the sensing unit, thus improving the detection of the vehicle collision.
