  • Patent number: 10796449
    Abstract: To measure the position of a walking user's toe tip, a measurement device includes: a data acquisition unit that acquires, from a depth sensor capturing an image of a walking path and outputting image data having a depth of each pixel added thereto, image data in which no user is on the path as reference data and image data in which a user is walking on the path as walking data; a specific pixel extraction unit that identifies a depth-sensor side foot based on the walking data and reference data and extracts, based on the depth, a pixel corresponding to a toe-tip among the pixels of the specified foot; and a position calculation unit that calculates three-dimensional coordinates of the extracted pixel based on the coordinates in the image data and the depth of the pixel, and takes the three-dimensional coordinates as the position of the user's toe tip.

  • Patent number: 10359920
    Abstract: An object management device 10 includes: a group setting unit 11 that, if a frame line surrounding objects on a screen is rendered, sets a group to which the one or more objects located inside of the frame line are to belong; a position detection unit 12 that detects positions of the one or more objects belonging to the set group, using the frame line as a reference; and a group moving unit 13 that, if movement is instructed for the group, moves the frame line and the one or more objects in a state in which the positional relationships therebetween are maintained, based on the detected positions of the one or more objects.

  • Patent number: 10296845
    Abstract: The present invention provides an attribute estimation system capable of acquiring an image of a person whose attributes are to be estimated accurately and informing the person of an attribute estimation result. The attribute estimation system (1) includes: a mirror (11) equipped with an information display terminal (12); and an attribute estimation device (3). The information display terminal (12) includes an image acquisition unit. The information display terminal (12) is disposed on the mirror (11) in such a manner that the information display terminal (12) can display information on a surface of the mirror (11) and that the image acquisition unit can acquire an image of a user of the mirror (11). The information display terminal (12) and the attribute estimation device (3) can be connected to each other via a communication line network (2). The attribute estimation device (3) generates attribute information estimated from the acquired image of the user of the mirror (11).

  • Publication number: 20190080472
    Abstract: To measure the position of a toe tip of a walking user, a measurement device 10 includes: a data acquisition unit 11 that acquires, from a depth sensor disposed so as to capture an image of a walking path and a space thereabove and outputting image data having a depth of each pixel added thereto, image data for a state in which there is no user on the walking path as reference data and image data for a state in which a user is walking on the walking path as walking data; a specific pixel extraction unit 12 that identifies a depth-sensor side foot from a difference between the walking data and the reference data and extracts, on the basis of the depth, a pixel corresponding to a toe-tip part among the pixels of the specified foot; and a position calculation unit 13 that calculates three-dimensional coordinates of the extracted pixel on the basis of the coordinates in the image data and the depth of the pixel, and takes the three-dimensional coordinates as the position of the toe tip of the user.
