  • Patent number: 10878555
    Abstract: An image processing system, an image processing device and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are provided. A collection condition setting part sets a collection condition for collecting processing information from the buffer area, an output format of the collected processing information, and an output destination of the collected processing information. The collecting part collects, among pieces of processing information temporarily stored in the buffer area, a piece of processing information that satisfies an image collection condition set by the collection condition setting part, and sends the collected processing information to the output part. The output part outputs the sent processing information according to an image collection rule set by the collection condition setting part. The condition setting part updates an image collection condition and an image collection rule stored in a storage condition DB on the basis of setting information input from an operation display device.

  • Patent number: 10755385
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an image processing apparatus and a recording medium which enable easy setting of a degree of compression such that it is in a range in which there is substantially hardly any influence on an inspection result when the degree of compression is set. First information including a first processing result acquired when an image measurement processing is executed on raw image data and at least a part of first state information representing a state in the execution process of the image measurement processing and second information including a second processing result acquired when the image measurement processing is executed on restored image data that is acquired by compressing the raw image data and then restoring compressed image data and information of the same type as that of the information included in the first information from the second state information are output in association with each other.

  • Patent number: 10657626
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an image processing apparatus, an image processing system, and recording medium capable of achieving both reduction of the amount of data and securement of reproducibility. An image processing apparatus generates compressed image data by compressing raw image data acquired by imaging an object into a JPEG format, restores the compressed image data to restored image data of a bmp format, and then acquires a first result by executing an image measurement processing on the restored image data. The image processing apparatus stores the compressed image data and the first result in association with each other.

  • Patent number: 4912748
    Abstract: A personal body detecting device makes it possible to determine the presence and absence of a personal body in a detecting zone by sensing infrared rays in the zone with a plurality of infrared ray detecting elements, detecting at a discriminating means a peak level and output time in connection with respective outputs of the infrared ray detecting elements, and comparing them with each other. The personal body having reached the detecting zone in any direction thereto can be reliably detected, and a highly reliable detecting operation can be realized.

  • Patent number: 4849737
    Abstract: A person-number detecting system which comprises a detector for detecting infrared rays emitted from persons' bodies to generate an output signal while a scanning optical means circularly scans a visual field of the infrared ray detector, a means for amplifying the output signal of the detector, a means for converting it to a signal necessary for detection of the number of persons located within the field, a means for discriminating the number of persons on the basis of the converted signal, and a means for outputting person number information. The system can be made simple and inexpensive, while realizing a highly precise detection of the number of persons in a wide detection zone.

  • Patent number: 4737847
    Abstract: An abnormality supervising system compares an input picture with a previously stored reference picture having no abnormality, provides a compared picture signal to an abnormality discrimination means having preliminarily stored information for abnormality discrimination, and, upon presence of an abnormality, operates an output means for informing operation, whereby the abnormality discrimination means can effectively attain the abnormality discrimination on the basis of the preliminarily stored information, in a highly reliable manner.

  • Patent number: 4656462
    Abstract: An object detecting apparatus has a plurality of light emitters which are sequentially actuated for projecting sequential light beams. A first structure is provided for receiving beams not reflected off any external body. A second structure is provided for receiving any part of the light beams reflected from an object in the area. A reference phase signal corresponding to the projected light beams is generated. A detection phase signal corresponding to the received reflected beam is also generated. The light emitters corresponding to the reflected light beams are continuously activated. The detection area is restricted by inhibition of output from an alarm phase difference discriminating circuit to a circuit when a difference between the reference and detection phases is not within a predetermined range. Consequently, the detection area can be restricted to a desired range, and the alarm circuit can be retained non-operative unless the object remains continuously in the area.

  • Patent number: 4396840
    Abstract: An ionization type smoke sensing device includes a printed board. An inner electrode made of heat-resistant metal is attached to the printed board and a radioactive source is fixed to the inner electrode. An outer electrode in the form of a bottomed cylinder made of heat-resistant metal and adapted to cover the inner electrode extends through the printed board and is integrally joined to a protective lid member made of heat-resistant metal at the back of the printed board. Therefore, the outer electrode and the lid member cooperate with each other to define an ionization chamber. The outer electrode is formed with smoke inlet ports for introducing smoke into the ionization chamber. The electric circuit serves to give pulse signals of a relatively high voltage to the outer electrode and to detect the presence of smoke on the basis of the amount of a current flowing through the inner electrode.

  • Patent number: 4023152
    Abstract: A smoke sensing device of the type having a single ionization chamber wherein stability and reliability are increased by driving the ionization chamber from a square wave oscillator, and utilizing an A.C. amplifier responsive to the ionization current within the chamber. The A.C. amplifier serves to amplify the current through the ionization chamber and couple the amplified current to a rectifier and detector adapted to respond to decreases in current, such as caused by smoke particles within the ionization chamber, to activate an alarm device.

  • Patent number: 3985453
    Abstract: A light scattering type smoke detector minimized in size and protected from erroneous operation and from internal accumulation of water drops is provided. The optical comprises light emitting and receiving elements and light shielding means which are compactly mounted on a base plate at different heights so as normally to prevent light from the emitting element to reach the receiving element. A power source part for the light emitting element disposed at one side of the optical system and an amplifying part for the light receiving element disposed at the other side of the system are housed in an upper lid having drain means, and a lower lid having many small holes for smoke lead-in is attached to the upper lid.
