  • Patent number: 9691255
    Abstract: To improve the accuracy of the determination on whether or not a moving object is present in a predetermined region, a control device for use in a system configured to conduct presence-or-absence determination on whether or not a moving object is present on the basis of detection by a first sensor provided in a predetermined compartment region, the control device comprising: a mode control section configured to control switching of an operation mode for the detection by the first sensor or the presence-or-absence determination; and an acquisition section configured to acquire a determination result of whether or not a moving object is present in an adjacent region adjacent to the predetermined compartment region and not including the predetermined compartment region; wherein the mode control section controls the switching of the operation mode in response to the determination result acquired by the acquisition section, is provided.

  • Publication number: 20160206230
    Abstract: There is provided a period estimation apparatus including: a first frequency estimation unit that estimates a first frequency of a one-dimensional signal on the basis of a phase difference between the one-dimensional signal and a reference signal and a temporal change in the phase difference; and a second frequency estimation unit that estimates a second frequency of the one-dimensional signal by cutting out a comparative signal having a section length equivalent to a first period corresponding to the first frequency from the one-dimensional signal, and calculating a correlation coefficient between the comparative signal and the one-dimensional signal having the section length.
