  • Patent number: 11328434
    Abstract: An object tracking device includes a superimposed image creation unit configured to create a plurality of superimposed images in which each of a plurality of non-tracking object images which do not include a tracking object image feature is superimposed on a tracking object section image which includes a tracking object image feature; a discriminator creation unit configured to learn at least one of an image feature and position information of the tracking object, based on the plurality of superimposed images to create a discriminator; and a tracking object specifying unit configured to specify at least one of the image feature and the position information of the tracking object in a tracked image including the respective image features of the tracking object and an obstacle, based on the discriminator and the tracked image.

  • Patent number: 9188685
    Abstract: A stacked type of radiation detector and a calibration method that enables the radiation detector to correct variations in sensor-specific output easily and within a short time, without using a water-phantom dose detector. The radiation detector is equipped with a sensor section including a plurality of sensors arranged in layers in a traveling direction of a particle beam. A dummy absorber has water-equivalent thickness equal to an average water-equivalent thickness of the sensors. A signal-processing unit calculates sensor-specific calibration coefficients using a measurement result obtained during irradiation of the radiation detector with the radiation when electrical signals developed in each sensor are measured, and a measurement result obtained during irradiation of the radiation detector with the radiation when the sensor section is moved in the traveling direction of the radiation, then the dummy absorber is set in place, and electrical signals developed in each sensor are measured.
