  • Patent number: 11888939
    Abstract: A remote monitoring system includes a plurality of data collection devices and a data aggregation device. Each data collection device acquires, from one or more installed apparatuses, a set of data including information representing at least either an operational situation or operational detail of one or more installed apparatuses. Each data collection device stores collection side definition information for extracting the apparatus data from the set of data including the apparatus data and makes a request to the data aggregation device to update the collection side definition information when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The data aggregation device stores aggregation side definition information for extracting the apparatus data from the set of data, and transmits, when the request is received from one or more of the data collection devices, information for updating based on the aggregation side definition information to the one or more of the data collection devices.

  • Patent number: 10216373
    Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes a group creation unit and a group adjustment unit. The group creation unit automatically creates a frame group that includes multiple frames that are a portion of the video and have undergone position adjustment with respect to one another such that the target object images overlap one another. The group adjustment unit receives, from a user, a designation of a group adjustment amount that is a position adjustment amount for the frame group, and performs position adjustment on the frames included in the frame group in accordance with the group adjustment amount. Note that automatically creating the frame group here means that rather than receiving a designation of a position adjustment amount from the user, the image processing apparatus automatically creates a frame group in accordance with a predetermined algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10169682
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing device for sorting frames included in one moving image into different channels, the frames included in the moving image being a mixture of frames belonging to the different channels. The image processing device includes an automatic sorting unit and a re-sorting unit. The automatic sorting unit calculates a similarity degree of the plurality of frames included in the moving image by performing image processing on the frames, and sorts the plurality of frames into the plurality of channels based on the similarity degree. The re-sorting unit accepts, from a user, an association operation of individually associating at least one non-sorted frame, which is not automatically sorted by the automatic sorting unit, with any of the plurality of channels, and individually sorts the non-sorted frame to any of the plurality of channels based on content of the association operation.

  • Patent number: 9483813
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that can be connected to a display device and removes blurring from a first-order image is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a generation unit, a display control unit, and a selection reception unit. The generation unit generates multiple I-th order intermediate images by performing blur correction in multiple blur directions on an I-th order image. The display control unit causes the multiple I-th order intermediate images to be displayed on the display device. The selection reception unit allows the user to select an (I+1)-th order image from among the displayed multiple I-th order intermediate images as a corrected image whose blurring has been reduced more than in the I-th order image. The generation unit, the display control unit, and the selection reception unit execute the above processing in order with respect to I=1, 2, . . . , K (K being a natural number).
