  • Patent number: 11815799
    Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, an imaging apparatus, a mobile device, and a computer program that performs processing for controlling exposure of an in-vehicle camera. The information processing apparatus includes: a recognition unit that recognizes an image after an output signal of an image sensor is processed by a processing unit; and a control unit that controls at least one of imaging operation of the image sensor or processing operation in the processing unit on the basis of a recognition result of the recognition unit. The image sensor is mounted on a vehicle and used, and the recognition unit image-recognizes at least a surrounding vehicle or a road surface. Then, the control unit controls detection or development processing of the region of the surrounding vehicle or the road surface in the image.

  • Publication number: 20230045772
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that make it possible to reduce an amount of communication data that flows through an in-vehicle network and is necessary for automated driving. An image sensor captures an image of the surroundings of an own automobile; and a recognition section performs object recognition processing of recognizing an object in the captured image, and outputs, to an automated driving controller, an object recognition processing result obtained by the object recognition processing.

  • Patent number: 11434981
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes an engine and a belt-type continuously variable transmission device provided on a lateral side of the engine and configured to (i) receive power from the engine and (ii) output the power to a traveling device while varying the power in terms of speed. The belt-type continuously variable transmission device has (i) an intake port which is present in the transmission device case and through which cooling air is sucked from outside the transmission device case into the transmission device case as a result of rotation of the rotary fan and (ii) a first exhaust port which is present in the transmission device case and through which the cooling air is discharged from inside the transmission device case as a result of the rotation of the rotary fan. The first exhaust port is present on a side of the exhaust pipe on which side the engine is present, and faces the engine.

  • Patent number: 11059367
    Abstract: A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an elastic support mechanism for supporting an exhaust muffler. The elastic support mechanism includes a support platform member, elastic cylindrical members and a bar-shaped member. The support platform member is supported by a rear-linking frame bar to adjust a position of the support platform member along one of lateral and longitudinal directions of the body frame. An elastic cylindrical member is supported by one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. The elastic cylindrical member has an axis extending along the other of the lateral and longitudinal directions, and is supported at a single position, in a direction of the axis, of one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. A bar-shaped member supported by the other of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler is fitted into the elastic cylindrical member to be supported by the elastic cylindrical member.
