  • Publication number: 20240104890
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a template analyzer to transform a pattern included in a template into multiple transformed patterns and generate multiple extended templates consisting of the template and multiple transformed templates including the respective transformed patterns. Further, there is a search processor to perform a first search that searches a to-be-searched image by using multiple first extended templates selected from the multiple extended templates, and perform a second search that searches the to-be-searched image by using multiple second extended templates selected from the multiple extended templates on a basis of a result of the first search. The first search is performed by using the template and two or more transformed templates selected at coarse boundaries from the multiple extended templates, and the second search is performed by using two or more extended templates near one of the extended templates that has been detected in the first search.

  • Patent number: 11558936
    Abstract: A microwave treatment apparatus includes a treatment chamber, a microwave supply, and a resonator unit. The treatment chamber is surrounded by a plurality of walls, and accommodates a heating target. The microwave supply supplies a microwave to the treatment chamber. The resonator unit is provided on one wall of the plurality of walls, and the resonator unit has a resonance frequency in a frequency band of the microwave. In this embodiment, the impedance of the surface of the resonator unit can be changed by controlling the frequency of the microwave supplied to the treatment chamber. This makes it possible to control the standing wave distribution within the treatment chamber, that is, the microwave energy distribution within the treatment chamber. As a result, in the cases where a plurality of heating targets need to be heated simultaneously, desired dielectric heating is conducted for each of the heating targets.
