Abstract: An image search system comprising an video taking unit that takes a video, a search unit that contains a processor and a storage unit and searches for an image contained in the video, an input unit that receives information that is input to the search unit, and a display unit that displays information that is output from the search unit. The storage unit holds information indicating the shapes of trajectories that represent the travel paths of a plurality of moving objects extracted from the video. When information indicating the shape of a trajectory is input from the input unit, the search unit searches the plurality of moving-object trajectories held in the storage unit for trajectories that are similar to the input trajectory shape, and if such a trajectory is found, the search unit displays, on the display unit, images of the moving objects that have traveled along the found trajectories.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a vehicle window glass, the method being adapted to prevent peeling-off of a functional thin film from a ceramic shielding layer without masking the ceramic shielding layer with a masking tape. This production method includes: an application step of feeding a coating liquid for forming the functional thin film onto a principal surface of a glass sheet on which the ceramic shielding layer has been formed beforehand, so as to allow the coating liquid to flow in a predetermined direction on the principal surface; and a drying step of drying the fed coating liquid. In the application step, the glass sheet is set in such a position that the predetermined direction coincides with a first direction in which the maximum length of the principal surface is 30 cm or less (rather than with a second direction in which the maximum length is more than 50 cm) and thus that the distance the coating liquid flows on the principal surface is limited to 30 cm or less.
