  • Patent number: 10298808
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a definer for defining pixel areas in image data acquired on a per-line basis, each pixel area being. used for calculating a pixel value of an interpolation pixel for interpolating a missing pixel; a read out controller for accessing, in a memory storing the image data of one line, a leading address among addresses corresponding to pixels in an Nth pixel area, and reading out pixel values of the pixels in the Nth pixel area; and a calculator for calculating a pixel value of an Nth interpolation pixel by using the pixel values of the Nth pixel area. The read out controller accesses a leading address among addresses corresponding to pixels in an (N+1)th pixel area, and reads out pixel values of the pixels in the (N+1)th pixel area, after the pixel value of the Nth interpolation pixel is calculated.

  • Patent number: 9894227
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an edge extraction unit, a feature point search unit, a document area size calculation unit, a user operation unit, and a multi-feed determination unit. The reading unit optically reads a document to generate image data. The edge extraction unit extracts an edge of the document from the image data. The feature point search unit searches edge data of the edge extracted by the edge extraction unit for a feature point. The document area size calculation unit calculates a document area size from the feature point found by the feature point search unit. The user operation unit is used by a user to specify a document size. The multi-feed determination unit compares the document area size calculated by the document area size calculation unit with the user-specified document size so as to determine whether multi-feed of the document has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20170061794
    Abstract: An operation state acquisition unit 101 acquires the position of a train on a track. A determination unit 102 determines whether the train is traveling as scheduled by comparing the position of the train on the track with the target position of the train on the track if traveled in accordance with the operation schedule. A presentation mode selection unit 103 selects a presentation mode indicating a positional relationship between the train and the target on the track according to a state of being late, early or on time in accordance with the determination result of the determination unit 102. The display unit 104 displays in a representation mode selected by the presentation mode selection unit 103.
