Publication number: 20240069187Abstract: An observation allocating section exclusively allocates an observation point to each existing tracker in accordance with a distance between observation information acquired by an information acquiring section and observation information indicated by a predictive distribution. A hypothesis generating section generates a hypothesis likelihood and a hypothesis distribution, for each target tracker and for each hypothesis belonging to a hypothesis group including a first hypothesis and a second hypothesis. The first hypothesis is a hypothesis that the observation point is a result of observation of a subject target. The second hypothesis is a hypothesis that the observation point is not a result of observation of the subject target. The hypothesis likelihood is the likelihood of the hypothesis. The hypothesis distribution is the state distribution updated on the assumption that the hypothesis is correct.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Tetsuya KUSUMOTO, Shingo SHIMIZU, Takashi OGAWA, Masaki YONEDA

Publication number: 20230417873Abstract: A positional information acquiring unit that acquires positional information in accordance with an object detection signal of the object sensor includes a first acquiring unit that acquires first observation information as positional information using a first threshold, and a second acquiring unit that acquires second observation information as positional information using a second threshold different from the first threshold. The object tracking unit is provided with a first tracking processing unit that executes a tracking process in accordance with the first observation information and a second tracking processing unit that executes the tracking process in accordance with the second observation information. Either one of the first tracking processing unit or the second tracking processing unit has anti-clutter characteristics higher than that of the other one. A state identifying unit identifies the state of the object based on a result of the tracking process executed by the tracking processing unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Tetsuya KUSUMOTO, Shingo SHIMIZU, Takashi OGAWA, Masaki YONEDA

Patent number: 9504229Abstract: The present invention provides a floor material for pet animal urination, which has an effect to allow urine to pass through by suppressing speed and amount of urine absorption, as well as an effect of low water absorbency allowing to gradually absorb residual urine sweating the grain surface, which also has good shape retentivity so as not to be collapsed even if urine is absorbed, and thus which is highly suitable as a floor material for pet animal urination. There is provided a floor material for pet animal urination, wherein a surface of each of water-absorbing grains (1?) is coated by a slow water-semipermeable coating (6); and because of the slow water-semipermeable coating (6), urine is prompted to pass between the water-absorbing grains, and residual urine (8) sweating the surface of the water-semipermeable coating (6) is gradually absorbed into the water-absorbing grains (1?) through the water-semipermeable coating (6).Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Unicharm CorporationInventors: Shingo Shimizu, Takayuki Matsuo, Shotaro Mochizuki
