  • Publication number: 20220335587
    Abstract: The image inspection apparatus includes an image score calculator and an imaging condition specifier. The image score calculator calculates scores of images, which are produced under different imaging conditions. The imaging condition specifier receives, when two or more thumbnails corresponding to two or more of the images that have a higher score are displayed on the display, selection of one from the two or more thumbnails to specify a set of imaging conditions corresponding to the thumbnail selected. The different imaging conditions include a single-shot set of conditions under which a single-shot image is produced, and a composition series of sets of conditions under which images are captured to produce a composite image from the images. The display shows a reference information display area that indicates reference information representing the single-shot set or composition series of sets in response to the displaying of the two or more thumbnails.

  • Patent number: 11042977
    Abstract: To enable inspection setting flows appropriate for a rule-based inspection mode and a learning-based inspection mode to be easily created when these modes are implemented in an image inspection apparatus. The rule-based inspection mode and the learning-based inspection mode are implemented in the image inspection apparatus. In the setting mode in a rule-based inspection, the user can set an imaging condition, select an image processing tool, set the application range of an image processing tool, and adjust the parameters of the image processing tool. In the setting mode in a learning-based inspection, a non-defective product image and a defective product image are input to generate a distinguishing device.

  • Patent number: 8953100
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display, a speaker, a connector, a multi-display module, an audio driver, and an audio-output controller. The connector is configured to output a video signal and an audio signal. The multi-display module is configured to control an outputting of the video signal in order to display a part of an image on the display and another part of the image at an external apparatus connected to the connector. The audio driver is configured to control an outputting of the audio signal at the speaker and the connector. The audio-output controller is configured to control the audio driver to output the audio signal to the speaker or the connector in accordance with the state of displaying the image at the display or the external apparatus, if the multi-display module displays the parts of the image on the display and the external apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20100302263
    Abstract: An apparatus including: a speaker; a sound controller for generating audio data; an audio driver for controlling the sound controller; and a connection terminal configured to attach a cable for simultaneously transmitting video data and audio data to an external monitor. When it is determined that the external monitor has an audio output function, the audio driver switches an output destination of the audio data to the connection terminal. When it is determined that the external monitor does not have the audio output function, the audio driver switches the output destination of the audio data to the speaker.
