  • Patent number: 9912427
    Abstract: A reception apparatus for receiving data from a transmission apparatus includes a data receiver configured to receive a synchronization packet including clock information generated by the transmission apparatus and data from the transmission apparatus, a storage memory, storing the received data, a clock adjuster configured to correct a clock of the reception apparatus based on a deviation between a clock of the transmission apparatus and the clock of the reception apparatus by using the clock information generated by the transmission apparatus, a controller configured to control a clock correction amount of the clock adjuster based on a storage amount of data in the storage memory, and a data output circuit configured to retrieve the data from the storage memory to output the retrieved data in synchronization with the corrected clock.

  • Patent number: 9846043
    Abstract: A map creation apparatus includes an image receiver configured to receive images in time series while moving; a first calculator configured to extract an image area indicating an object from the images and calculate a coordinate of the object in a world coordinate system; a second calculator configured to track the object in the extracted image area with the images and calculate an optical flow of the object; an eliminator configured to calculate a difference in coordinate between vanishing points generated by the movement of the image receiver and the object based on the optical flow, and eliminate the image area of the object from the images when determining the object as a moving object based on the calculated difference; and a storage controller configured to store map information including the coordinate of the object, not eliminated by the moving object eliminator, in the world coordinate system.
