    Abstract: Image matching on a pair of image data about images which are shot at different shooting positions is performed, and a point corresponding to the coordinates of a distance measurement point on the image shown by one image data of the pair is searched through the image shown by the other image data of the pair. The value of a parameter showing the attitude of an airplane (2) is corrected in such a way that the difference between the coordinates of the distance measurement point on the image shown by the other image data of the pair and the coordinates of the corresponding point which is searched for via the image matching becomes small, to estimate the attitude of the airplane (2).

  • Patent number: 8147946
    Abstract: A polarizing plastic lens comprising a polarizing film with low tendency to detachment from an optical resin layer. There is provided polarizing plastic lens comprising polarizing film constituted of a polyvinyl alcohol resin. Two optical resin layers of different thicknesses may be disposed on both surfaces of the polarizing film. The optical resin layers are formed by polymerizing a polymerization raw material composition in contact with the polarizing film. The polymerization raw material composition contains as one main component an isocyanated or isothiocyanated compound. The iscocyanate or isothiocyanate functional group reacts with the hydroxyl of polyvinyl alcohol resin of polarizing film to thereby form an urethane bond or thiourethane bond, so that the optical resin layers are strongly unified with the polarizing film.
