  • Publication number: 20210092288
    Abstract: Provided are an imaging plan presentation apparatus and method capable of presenting an imaging plan to a user in accordance with conditions of images necessary for checking and an imaging range in a captured image. After an imaging unit (14) completes imaging, an imaging plan update unit (15) determines whether an uncaptured area has been identified by an uncaptured-area identification unit (151). If Yes is obtained, the imaging plan update unit (15) updates the imaging plan on the basis of the uncaptured imaging range, and re-generates an imaging plan corresponding to the uncaptured imaging range. Then, an imaging plan presentation unit (13) presents an imaging range to be captured next to a user on the basis of the re-generated imaging plan.

  • Patent number: 10514080
    Abstract: A torsional vibration reducing device includes: a rotating body; an inertial body; a coupling member configured to transmit the torque to the rotating body and to the inertial body; and a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion, which are separately provided to either the rotating body or the inertial body. The first coupling portion engages with the coupling member so as to: restrict movement of the coupling member in a rotational direction of the rotating body; and allow movement of the coupling member in a radial direction of the rotating body. The second coupling portion engages with the coupling member such that when the rotating body and the inertial body rotate relative to each other, a contact portion of the coupling member with respect to the first coupling portion moves in the radial direction of the rotating body.
