  • Publication number: 20250119316
    Abstract: A relay device is arranged as a node on a communication line connected to a first ECU connected to a plurality of second ECUs. A first PHY unit switches a third ECU from a sleep mode to a normal mode when receiving a broadcasted control message addressed to the third ECU. The second ECUs also include a fourth ECU provided with a second PHY unit that switches the fourth ECU to the normal mode in a case where a control message is received. In the case where a first control message, addressed to a second ECU, is received from a first region, the relay device relays the first control message, in a case where a second control message, not addressed to a second ECU, is received from the first region, the relay device does not relay the second control message.

  • Patent number: 12205227
    Abstract: The present technology is a surgical image display system, an image processing device, and an image processing method that enable to assist grasping of a distance in a depth direction in a space in which a stereoscopic image is reproduced when a three-dimensional image is stereoscopically viewed. An image of an observation region is shot from two different viewpoints, and a three-dimensional image that reproduces a stereoscopic image of the observation region is acquired. There is generated an output image that outputs the acquired three-dimensional image and depth distortion information that represents magnitude of distortion in a depth direction in a stereoscopic image space in which a stereoscopic image of the observation region is reproduced by stereoscopically viewing the three-dimensional image. The present technology can be applied to an operative field camera system for medical facilities that shoots an image of a field of view (operative field) of a surgical site.
