Abstract: According to an embodiment, a processing apparatus includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to: shift one or more captured images selected from a plurality of captured images including a reference captured image, and compose at least one subject surface image by superimposing the shifted one or more captured images on the reference captured image. The plurality of captured images have been obtained with an imaging portion within a predetermined time while a surface of a subject moving relative to the illumination light is irradiated with a plurality of beams of illumination light traveling in different directions in at least one plane.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted gateway apparatus according to an embodiment includes a communication device including an external communication interface for connection to the network outside the mobile body with each of a plurality of different external communication schemes and an internal communication interface for connection to each of the plurality of data sources within the mobile body; and a control device configured to transmit data collected from each of the data sources through the internal communication interface to the network outside the mobile body. The control device includes a communication channel selection section configured to select a communication channel from the plurality of external communication schemes for each of the data sources, and a monitoring control section configured to monitor data output from each of the data sources and to transmit the data to the network outside the mobile body over a selected one of the communication channels associated with the data source.
