  • Publication number: 20200013170
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor acquires a plurality of images of an installed rebar group that have been captured while an image capturing region is being moved in a direction intersecting the rebar group, detects a tracking target from a first edge portion, and correlates, when the processor has detected the tracking target from the first edge portion, either of a detection image that is an image of the detected tracking target or a captured image captured after the detection or alternative information generated on the basis of the detection image or the captured image with identification information for identifying a rebar belonging to the rebar group and located within a predetermined range from the tracking target, and records the image, or alternative information correlated with the identification information in a recording apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20200013179
    Abstract: An inspection support apparatus according to an aspect includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory, and the processor is configured to obtain three-dimensional data of the structure that includes a plurality of planes formed by the frame; from the three-dimensional data, detect a plurality of first planes that include at least three points of the three-dimensional data; for each of the detected first planes, compute, from the three-dimensional data, a number of three-dimensional points at a distance that is equal to or shorter than a prescribed distance from the first plane; and according to the computed number of three-dimensional points, identify, from the detected plurality of first planes, a second plane positioned on a forefront of the frame of the structure.

  • Publication number: 20060082964
    Abstract: The invention is to provide a video picture display unit capable of reducing discomfort given to a user by restraining influence of a noise of fans after the power of the unit is turned off. A timer setting when the power is turned off (off timer setting or sleep setting) is stored in a setting portion of a controller. A decision portion decides as to whether the timer setting is present or non-present, and in cases where the power is turned off by the timer setting, the operation control portion transmits a control signal to a driving circuit so as to cause a fan or a fan to effect low speed rotating operation.

  • Publication number: 20040036809
    Abstract: It is an object to provide an automatic channel selecting device capable of accurately presetting a receiving frequency for a channel to be broadcast in a short time. An automatic channel selecting device used in an apparatus for receiving a broadcast wave and presetting a receiving frequency of a channel to be broadcast has the following structure. A channel selecting control microcomputer (5) sets a specific frequency to a tuner, and whether a broadcast wave for the specific frequency is received is detected by a wave detecting circuit (3), a synchronization detecting circuit (4) and the channel selecting control microcomputer (5) to carry out preset. The preset is carried out by detecting whether one channel is received at a first frequency and a second frequency and determining either of the frequencies at which the receipt is detected to be a receiving frequency of the channel.
