  • Publication number: 20180280780
    Abstract: A flying device includes: an image capturing unit that captures an image of an object that is moving; a flying unit that flies with the image capturing unit mounted thereat; and a control unit that controls at least one of the flying unit and the image capturing unit with control information based on an output from the image capturing unit so as to engage the image capturing unit, after having captured the image of the object, to capture an image of the object.

  • Patent number: 8537235
    Abstract: A computer-readable computer program product contains an image processing program which includes: an instruction for displaying a sample image and a correction object image on a display device; an instruction for setting a sample area in an area of the sample image; an instruction for receiving an operation signal which is output by an input device in response to an operation in which the sample area is dragged and dropped into an area of the correction object image; an instruction for setting correction coordinates in the area of the correction object image based upon the operation signal and for associating the sample area with the correction coordinates; an instruction for setting a correction area in the area of the correction object image based upon the correction coordinates; and an instruction for performing a color correction to an image of the correction area based upon the sample area.

  • Patent number: 4703735
    Abstract: The plurality of cylinders of a multicylinder engine are divided into first group cylinders and second group cylinders, and first and second exhaust sensors are provided to respectively detect the air-fuel ratios of the intake mixtures fed to the first group cylinders and second group cylinders. The air-fuel ratio for the first group cylinders is controlled in a closed loop by a first integration signal generated based on the output of the first exhaust sensor and the air-fuel ratio for the second group cylinders is controlled in a closed loop by a second integration signal generated based on the output of the second exhaust sensor. One of the first and second integration signals is corrected so that the air-fuel ratios for the first group cylinders and second group cylinders are increased and reduced in phases reverse to each other.

  • Patent number: 4594986
    Abstract: A fuel supply arrangement for an internal combustion engine, including an adjusting device for adjusting supply amount of fuel to the engine, an air temperature sensor for detecting temperature of intake air, a correcting device for correctively controlling the adjusting device on the basis of an output of the air temperature sensor, a detecting device for detecting a specific engine operating condition where the output of the air temperature sensor is higher than an actual temperature of the intake air, and a restricting device for restricting corrective control of the correcting device in response to a detection output of the detecting device.
