Abstract: A rotation state of an object obtained from an input video of a plurality of frames in time series is estimated by using an object image obtained by excluding at least a part of a region common to the plurality of frames from an image corresponding to the object.

Abstract: A target estimation image which is an image of a target at a time point t+w·u obtained by spinning the object in an object image at a time point t obtained from an input video of a plurality of frames in time-series by w unit time on the basis of a hypothesis of spin state and an object image at the time point t+w·u obtained from the input video are used, to estimate the spin state of the object by selecting a hypothesis of spin state and w in which likelihood of the target estimation image becomes high from among a plurality of hypotheses of spin states and a plurality of w whose absolute values are two or more, wherein an absolute value of w is an integer of 2 or more and u is a unit time.

Abstract: Information for displaying information representing rotation axes of balls seen from a first point side or a second point side in regard to one or more motions of the balls moving from the first point side to the second point side is output, and information for displaying information representing rotation axes of the balls seen from an outer side located in a direction that is orthogonal to a virtual straight line connecting the first point to the second point in regard to the motions is output.

Abstract: A production management support apparatus includes a memory, and a processor configured to, in response to receiving information indicating a design change of a product, display an image including both first information and second information, the first information regarding a first configuration of a first plurality of elements in the product before the design change, the second information regarding a second configuration of a second plurality of elements in the product after the design change, perform display of inventory information of, among the first plurality of elements, a first element whose inventory is predicted to be generated due to the design change, receive time information indicating a time when the design change is executed, and based on the received time information, modify the inventory information of the first element into a modified inventory information of the first element.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a housing in which an image forming unit is to be mounted, a support that supports an image reading device in a state where the image reading device is separated from the housing, and a guiding portion in which a guide part, which is formed on a to-be-mounted surface of an add-on device in such a manner as to project, is to be inserted such that the guide part is guided by the guiding portion. Engagement holes with which engagement portions, which are formed on the to-be-mounted surface of the add-on device in such a manner as to project, are to be engaged such that the engagement portions are positioned by the engagement holes are formed in a mounting surface of the housing on which the add-on device is to be mounted.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming apparatus main body; an image forming section that is arranged within the image forming apparatus main body, and that forms an image in a recording medium; a discharging member that discharges the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image forming section; a driving source that normally and reversely rotates the discharging member; and a both-face printing assembly body that returns the recording medium pulled-back by reversely rotating the discharging member to the image forming section, the driving source and the both-face printing assembly body being separately freely attached and detached with respect to the image forming apparatus main body.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a traveling unit carrying sheets of paper along a longitudinal path from a printing section to a stacker roller which guides sheets of paper having only one printed side to a stacker section. Selected sheets of paper are being displaced along a reverse path from the stacker roller back to the printing section for providing printing on the opposite side of the selected sheets, which are eventually guided by switching gates located along the reverse path to a sorting device juxtaposed with the switching gates.
