Abstract: A service providing system includes a moving apparatus and a service provision instruction apparatus. The moving apparatus moves to a user who is within a service provision area within a predetermined zone, the predetermined zone including the service provision area and a service prohibition area, and provides a service to the user. The service provision instruction apparatus recognizes a position of a user within the zone and instructs the moving apparatus to provide a service to the user when the user is within the service provision area.

Abstract: In the scatter estimation method of the present invention, Step S1 (first TOF projection data generation) and Step S4 (non-TOF scatter estimation algorithm) are performed, and Step S2 (second TOF projection data generation) and Step S3 (calculation of TOF direction distribution ratio) are performed, and Step S5 (calculation of TOF scatter projection data) is performed. A distribution ratio is obtained from the second TOF projection data measured in a scattered radiation energy window (low energy window). Since the target of distribution is non-TOF scatter projection data in a reconstruction data energy window (standard energy window), post-distribution TOF scatter projection data is obtained as approximate TOF scatter projection data in the reconstruction data energy window (standard energy window), and scatter estimation can be accurately performed.

Abstract: An estimation apparatus includes an acquirer, a deriver, and a determiner. The acquirer acquires time-sequential observation data related to cloud-altitude. The deriver derives a first change in cloud altitude from at least a first altitude at a first time and a second altitude at a second time. The deriver derives a second change in cloud altitude from at least a third altitude at a third time and a fourth altitude at a fourth time. The determiner determines a cloud developmental stage based at least in part on the first and second changes in cloud altitude.

Abstract: An image reconstruction processing method according to this invention is characterized by adding weight to conventional reconstruction processing steps. That is, weighting is performed when performing the reconstruction process based on optimization calculations of a multivariate function in which a digital image is unknown, and which consists of data function generalized from the likelihood function of Poisson distribution. When a weight coefficient is a constant independent of element data, for example, the weight coefficient is set based on directionality of linear noises occurring in a reconstruction image, or the weight coefficient is set based on detection depth position information of detector elements of DOI detectors (step S1). By weighting partial functions with weight coefficients of back projection to a reconstruction image of the element data corresponding to the partial functions, artifacts appearing on the image can be suppressed, or the spatial resolution of the image can be improved.
