  • Method of detecting and measuring a moving object and apparatus therefor, and a recording medium for recording a program for detecting and measuring a moving object
    Patent number: 7308113
    Abstract: There are provided a plurality of units for detecting a moving object in an image from changes of an image structure in a monitor area defined in a linear strip on a single straight line consisting of a base line and its partitions, and a height of a moving object is detected and measured easily and accurately from a code obtained from detection results obtained when the image structure is at its maximum variation.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for detecting local features of video, and recording medium storing the method
    Patent number: 7184593
    Abstract: A method of detecting local features of video which includes the steps of: extracting a first static image and a second static image from a video made up of a plurality of static images; calculating a feature quantity of the first static image and a feature quantity of the second static image; detecting the second static image having a feature quantity such that a difference in feature quantity between the first static image and the second static image satisfies a predetermined condition; and displaying the second static image thus detected and the feature quantity difference in one-to-one correspondence.
