  • Patent number: 9690994
    Abstract: A demarcation line candidate recognizing unit recognizes demarcation line candidates which are candidates for a pair of right and left demarcation lines demarcating a lane based on edge points having predetermined continuity in an image captured by a camera. A demarcation line candidate modifying unit excludes edge points whose corresponding positions in a real space are a predetermined distance or more away from the camera in the case where parallelism between the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates recognized by the demarcation line candidate recognizing unit is equal to or less than a predetermined level and re-recognizes the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates based on the edge points having predetermined continuity among the edge points which have not been excluded.

  • Patent number: 9668658
    Abstract: A first calculation unit receives phase characteristics Pa(f) and Pb(f) outputted from frequency transform units, calculates a propagation time difference based on a phase difference between the two phase characteristics in a high-frequency component thereof, and calculates a pulse wave velocity by dividing a difference in the distances of vascular pathways from the heart to respective measurement areas. Meanwhile, a second calculation unit calculates a pulse wave velocity by dividing the stated difference in the distances by a appearance time difference at a predetermined position in respective pulse waveforms obtained by rendering the measurement signals Pa(t) and Pb(t) on a time axis. A comparison unit compares the pulse wave velocities, and in the case where the ratio thereof is outside a predetermined range, an evaluation result indicating that it is possible that a predetermined pathologic change is present in the vascular pathway is outputted to a display processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20160253043
    Abstract: A projection type image display device correctly detects the position of contact of an electronic pen and a finger on a manipulation surface without the provision of a touch sensor. Light containing an image is projected, illuminating light that is different from the light containing the image is projected onto a manipulation surface which at least partially overlaps an image projection surface onto which the light has been projected, and an image of the manipulation surface is captured. A first detection process detects the position at which a first object being manipulated, a distal end of which emits light, touches the manipulation surface, a second detection process detects the position at which a second object being manipulated, which does not emit light, touches the manipulation surface, and at least part of the image being displayed is changed on the basis of the detection result from either detection process.

  • Publication number: 20160004321
    Abstract: It is possible to operate a device while reducing erroneous recognition of a device even when a line of sight does not face the device in an accurate direction. An information processing device that detects a motion of a user includes a detecting unit that detects the motion of the user and a face direction of the user from an image photographed by an imaging unit, a detected motion determining unit that determines whether or not the motion detected by the detecting unit is an operation on the information processing device based on the face direction of the user and position information of the information processing device stored in a storage unit, and a display content control unit that causes a display unit to reflect the motion when the detected motion determining unit determines that the motion detected by the detecting unit is the operation on the information processing device.

  • Publication number: 20160004322
    Abstract: An information processing device configured from: a vehicle-mounted device control unit that controls the overall operation of a vehicle-mounted device; a sensing unit capable of measuring the distance to an object and capable of detecting gestures; and a display unit that displays video/images. The sensing unit continuously monitors to determine the distance at which objects are located in front of the display unit, and when the intrusion of the driver's hand into a prescribed region (1) in front of the display unit is detected, the sensing unit moves a prescribed icon (displayed on the display unit) toward the driver. Furthermore, when a speaker is provided, a sound effect or a sound is output from the speaker in conjunction with the movement of the icon. When the intrusion of the driver's hand into a region (2), which is closer to the display unit than the region (1), is detected, a lower-level menu associated with the icon is displayed in a fan-like manner, and a sound effect is output from the speaker.
