Abstract: Provided are a video preloading method and apparatus, a device, and a medium. The method includes: in response to determining that a length of a buffered video reaches a first numerical value, creating and executing a preloading task, where the buffered video is a current video that is buffered and is to be played, and the preloading task is used for preloading a subsequent video; and in an execution process of the preloading task, in response to determining that the length of the buffered video is less than or equal to a second numerical value, cancelling the preloading task, where the second numerical value is less than the first numerical value.

Abstract: A print inspection device includes a camera that captures a character printed on an inspection target, a shape matching processor, a deformation pattern generator, and an inspection processor. The shape matching processor checks a shape of a captured character pattern included in a captured image obtained by the camera against a shape of a preset reference character pattern while changing a deformation degree of the shape of the reference character pattern and searches for a matched character. The deformation pattern generator generates a deformed character pattern obtained by deforming the reference character pattern at the deformation degree to which the character is matched in the shape matching process. The inspection processor inspects whether a printed state of the character is satisfactory from a result of the comparison between the deformed character pattern and the captured character pattern.

Abstract: A method for detecting microorganisms, which comprises: a training step for forming, by a classifier, feature vectors based on color data on individual points within a subject region of training in a culture medium, mapping the points in the culture medium, that are specified by the feature vectors, on a high-dimensional feature space, and linearly separating a set of the points ? (x1), that are specified by the high-dimensional feature vectors thus obtained, to thereby color-classify the class (C1) of the culture medium; and a identifying step for forming, by a classifier, feature vectors based on color data on individual inspection points within a region in the culture medium using image data obtained by capturing an image of the culture medium under cultivation, mapping the inspection points (xj), that are specified by the feature vectors, on a high-dimensional feature space, and determining whether or not the mapped points ? (xj), that are specified by the high-dimensional feature vectors thus obtained, b

Abstract: Colonies growing on a culture medium surface may be more accurately counted with reduced variation in the counts obtained by capturing a plurality of images of the entire culture medium surface, wherein successive images are captured following rotation of the culture medium surface relative to the image capture apparatus by n/360 degrees where n is the number of images to be captured; performing data processing on image data of the entire culture medium surface of the petri dish at each specified angle; and the number of colonies in the petri dish is calculated by performing numerical processing on the number of colonies counted separately at each specified angle.
