  • Publication number: 20230316490
    Abstract: An inspection device includes a processor configured to calculate an identification index indicating likelihood of each possible state of an object to be inspected regarding a predetermined inspection item by inputting a color image representing the object and a depth image representing the object into a classifier, and determine the state of the object regarding the inspection item, based on the identification index. The classifier calculates a first feature characterizing the object, based on the inputted color image; calculates a second feature characterizing the object, based on the inputted depth image; integrates the first feature and the second feature to calculate an integrated feature; and calculates the identification index, based on the integrated feature.

  • Publication number: 20230316501
    Abstract: An inspection device includes a processor configured to calculate a first identification index indicating likelihood of each possible state of an object to be inspected regarding a predetermined inspection item by inputting a color image representing the object into a first classifier, the color image being generated by a camera, calculate a second identification index indicating likelihood of each possible state of the object regarding the predetermined inspection item by inputting a depth image representing, for each pixel, the distance to a part of the object represented in the pixel into a second classifier, the depth image being generated by a 3-D camera, and determine the state of the object regarding the inspection item, based on the result of integration of the first identification index and the second identification index.

  • Patent number: 6419280
    Abstract: An exhaust pipe assembly provided with a bellows pipe for connecting an upstream exhaust pipe and a downstream exhaust pipe is disposed so as to form a double pipe construction with a first joint pipe which is connected to the upstream exhaust pipe and a second joint pipe which is connected to the downstream exhaust pipe. A pair of ball receiving portions are disposed on a peripheral surface of the first joint pipe at a distance from each other in a circumferential direction, and a pair of ball receiving portions are disposed on a peripheral surface of the second joint pipe at a distance from each other in a circumferential direction. The ball receiving portions are disposed at an angular phase difference with each other in the circumferential direction.
