  • Publication number: 20230394709
    Abstract: A signal processing device includes: a window function unit that performs window function processing on a Fourier transform frame cut from time-series signal data; a Fourier transform unit that transforms, into information in a frequency domain, the Fourier transform frame subjected to the window function processing; a color space conversion unit that generates spectrogram data by converting a phase angle of a complex amplitude in the frequency domain into a hue and performing conversion that associates an absolute value of the complex amplitude with brightness by mapping, the spectrogram data being defined so as to correspond to a two-dimensional plane of time and frequency; and a deep learning processing unit that detects or identifies a signal by convolutional processing and fully connected processing on the spectrogram data.

  • Publication number: 20230062385
    Abstract: A data compression apparatus includes a receiver that outputs sampling sequences corresponding to signals obtained by adding different delay times to different signals obtained by branching a target signal into a plurality of lines, and sampling the signals at a sampling rate less than the Nyquist rate, and an encoder that converts the sampling sequences into compressed data. The encoder includes a sub-FFT that converts the sampling sequences into frequency-domain signals, a signal processing unit that performs, at one time, phase compensation processing for sub-Nyquist zones of the sampling sequences, and processing to cancel phase rotation, a target frequency estimator that determines into which sub-Nyquist zone the target signal has been folded and estimates the frequency of the target signal, and an encoding unit that converts a value representing the sub-Nyquist zone and the corresponding amplitude value into the compressed data and output the compressed data.

  • Patent number: 10972714
    Abstract: Image data of a photographic image is inputted, and based on information related to a distance from a focal plane when capture is performed, the sharpness of an image that the inputted image data represents is controlled. Image data resulting from the sharpness control being performed is outputted. In the sharpness control, the sharpness control amount is set in accordance with the luminance of a peripheral region that neighbors an in-focus region that is determined to be in-focus in the image.

  • Publication number: 20210073438
    Abstract: An optimization system for optimizing a parameter using simulated annealing includes: a condition setting unit that sets conditions including a temperature to be used, a parameter candidate to be evaluated, and a measurement time that is a time for measuring an evaluation value of a cost function for evaluating the parameter candidate; an evaluation unit that measures the evaluation value using the conditions; an acceptance determination unit that determines whether to accept the parameter candidate based on the evaluation value; and a termination determination unit that determines whether a predetermined termination condition is satisfied. An evaluation process including setting of the conditions, measurement of the evaluation value, and acceptance determination for the parameter candidate is repeated until the termination condition is satisfied. The condition setting unit determines the measurement time based on the temperature used in the evaluation process each time the evaluation process is repeated.
