  • Patent number: 11941991
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a platooning operation system organizes a platoon by making a plurality of vehicles cooperate. The platooning operation system includes an application acceptance processor and a platoon organization processor. The application acceptance processor accepts an application of a vehicle for admission to the platoon. The platoon organization processor which selects a platoon to which the vehicle is to be admitted or determines possibility of admission of the vehicle to the platoon, based on at least one of information on a driver driving the vehicle and information on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8237732
    Abstract: In a color reproduction system for displaying an image subjected to color conversion processing by a server side system on a monitor device of a user side system, the server side system comprises a first storage unit for storing a multi-spectrum image, a second storage unit for storing color reproduction characteristic information, which is information relating to a color reproduction characteristic when the image is displayed on the monitor device, a server side communication unit for receiving the color reproduction requirement information transmitted from the user side communication unit via the network, and a color conversion processing unit for obtaining, from the second storage unit, color reproduction characteristic information corresponding to the color reproduction requirement information, and performing color conversion processing on the multi-spectrum image on the basis of the obtained color reproduction characteristic information.

  • Patent number: 8036339
    Abstract: A dental colorimetry apparatus that allows the color balance of an entire row of teeth to be checked is provided. The invention provides a dental colorimetry apparatus 2 including a multiband-image storing section 21 storing images of teeth in association with information about the positions of the teeth in row of teeth; a contour-line extracting section 25 for extracting contour lines of the teeth from the images of the teeth; a rectangle-setting section 27 for setting rectangles in the images of the teeth so as to include the contour lines extracted by the contour-line extracting section 25 and so as to circumscribe at least both sides of the teeth; and an image-generating section 29 for generating a row-of-teeth image by arranging the images of the teeth based on the information about the positions of the teeth in the row of teeth so that the rectangles adjoin each other.

  • Patent number: 7957573
    Abstract: A subtle color difference between a tooth and a color sample is made recognizable by accentuating the color difference therebetween. The invention provides a dental image processing device including a row-of-teeth image storing unit 21 in which a row-of-teeth image is stored; an area partitioning line provided movably on the row-of-teeth image; a selected color storing unit 29 in which color information for correcting the color of the row of teeth is stored; a color correction unit 30 that corrects the color of the row of teeth, using the color information stored in the color selection storing unit 29, at least in one area of the plurality of areas of the row-of-teeth image divided by the area partitioning line; and a display control unit 31 that displays the row-of-teeth image corrected by the color correction unit 30.
