  • Patent number: 11282226
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a water level measurement device and a shoreline extraction method each of which is capable of stably measuring the water level. A pixel selection unit (11) selects a pixel of interest (302) from a designated area (301) designated from a captured image (300), and an identification image extraction unit (12) extracts identification images (303), (304) each coming in contact with the pixel of interest (302). The identification unit (13) calculates an identification strength indicating a degree to which an area corresponding to each of the identification images (303), (304) is a water area, on a basis of the result of machine learning related to identification between the water area and a non-water area.

  • Publication number: 20210041543
    Abstract: A processor outputs laser irradiation location identifying pattern information for displaying a laser irradiation location identifying pattern from a laser measuring device to a display screen of a display. The processor receives reflection intensity value information including reflection intensity values of laser light, and determines a laser irradiation location on the display screen of the display on the basis of the reflection intensity values included in the reflection intensity value information, the reflection intensity value information being outputted from the laser measuring device having received the laser light emitted from the laser measuring device and reflected from the laser irradiation location identifying pattern displayed on the display screen of the display. The processor outputs camera calibration pattern information for displaying a camera calibration pattern on the display screen of the display.
