  • Patent number: 10746541
    Abstract: An inspection device is provided in which X-rays are radiated in a fan-like shape with respect to an extension direction of steel cords, are transmitted through a conveyor belt, and reach an X-ray line sensor. A control device makes an X-ray generator and the X-ray line sensor move in a fixed relative position at a certain speed within a certain movement range in a direction parallel with a plane and orthogonal to an extension direction of the steel cords. The control device generates two-dimensional image information on the basis of an X-ray transmission signal obtained each time the X-ray generator and the X-ray line sensor move a unit amount equal to a pixel pitch of the X-ray line sensor. The control device detects measurement information relating to the conveyor belt and the steel cords on the basis of the obtained two-dimensional image information.

  • Publication number: 20190197762
    Abstract: In a CPR image generation apparatus, method, and program, a CPR image is generated so as to include a region of interest, such as a branch, a myocardium, a plaque, and a lesion. A structure extraction unit 22 extracts a coronary artery region 30 from a three-dimensional image G0. A cross section setting unit 23 sets a cross section Pk perpendicular to a reference line L0 for each point on the reference line L0 in the coronary artery region 30. In a case where a region of interest is present on each cross section Pk, a cutting plane determination unit 24 determines one cutting plane Ck in each cross section including the reference line L0 and the region of interest. An image generation unit 25 generates a CPR image G10 including the cutting plane Ck.

  • Patent number: 10068148
    Abstract: For assigning a binary label representing belonging to a target region or not to each pixel in an image: a predicted shape of the target region is set; a pixel group including N pixels is selected, where N is a natural number of 4 or more, which have a positional relationship representing the predicted shape; and an energy function is set, which includes an N-th order term in which a variable is a label of each pixel of the pixel group, so that a value of the N-th order term is at a minimum value when a combination of the labels assigned to the pixels of the pixel group is a pattern matching the predicted shape, and increases in stages along with an increase in a number of pixels to which a label different from the pattern is assigned. The labeling is performed by minimizing the energy function.
