  • Patent number: 11216952
    Abstract: A region extraction apparatus provided with a candidate extraction unit, a categorization unit and a region extraction unit. The candidate extraction unit extracts a difference region where a first ground surface image photographed from above at a first time point and a second ground surface image photographed at a second time point are different. The categorization unit estimates a first category of a first object photographed in correspondence with a position in the first ground surface image, calculates a first categorization image indicating a relationship between the position of the first object and the first category, estimates a second category of a second object photographed in correspondence with a position in the second ground surface image and calculates a second categorization image indicating a relationship between the position of the second object and the second category. The region extraction unit extracts an extraction region from the difference region.

  • Patent number: 11045922
    Abstract: A first inspection step nondestructively inspects a surface side state of a treatment target to be subjected to shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target and evaluates that the treatment target is failed when an inspection result deviates from a first allowable range predetermined. A condition setting step sets a shot processing condition in response to the inspection result of the first inspection step for the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step. A shot processing step performs shot processing of shooting shot media at the treatment target evaluated as not failed in the first inspection step in the shot processing condition set in the condition setting step.

  • Patent number: 10066937
    Abstract: A ranging apparatus transmits an optical input signal to an optical signal input/output unit mounted on a measurement target. The optical signal input/output unit receives the optical signal and transmits an optical output signal applied with an optical change, to the ranging apparatus. The ranging apparatus receives the optical output signal, measures a propagation distance from a light source a the light receiving unit through the optical signal input/output unit, and measures a relative position of the optical signal input/output unit based on the propagation distance. Thus, a distributed aperture radar is realized from the ranging apparatus and the optical signal input/output unit.
