Abstract: A working vehicle includes a traveling machine body including a bottom plate on which a battery is placed and a radiator bracket for installing a radiator, and a stay. A first end of the stay is fixed at a region close to one side in a width direction of the bottom plate and a second end of the stay is fixed to a vertical frame on the other side in the width direction of the radiator bracket. The stay extends between the first end and the second end by being bent so as to surround one and upper sides of the battery.

Abstract: In the environment of executing an image processing for scenes by defining a parameter set for each scene, a configuration is needed capable of reflecting the change by smaller man-hour even when the content of the image processing has been changed. The image processing device includes an operating unit (that selectively executes a plurality of pieces of processing) and a storage that can be accessed from the operating unit. The storage holds: a common flow for executing processing selected out of the plurality of pieces of processing, in a predetermined order; user scene data in which a parameter set including one or a plurality of parameters are defined for each scene; and a command code concerning the parameter set included in the user scene data. The command code includes a first processing rule for causing a corresponding parameter set to reflect a result of a processing following the common flow.

Abstract: A development support apparatus and development support program are used to facilitate the development of a program executed by an image processing apparatus. A user selects a desired purpose from a displayed list that includes the purposes of the processing units. Accordingly, an explanatory screen of a sample unit corresponding to the selected purpose is displayed. When the user selects a link of a folder saving a program of the sample unit, the directory including the folder is displayed. When the image of the folder is dropped onto a screen displayed during an initial operation, the sample unit is executed. The sample unit includes one or more image processing modules (processing units). When the sample unit is executed, processing defined by each processing unit is executed on image data stored as a default, and a result thereof is displayed on a monitor.

Abstract: The image processing apparatus 1 at the manufacturing side can be accessed over the Internet 3 by the peripheral apparatuses 2A, 2B, and 2C at remote locations. When the image processing apparatus 1 receives from any of the peripheral apparatuses 2A, 2B, and 2C an image transmission command based on the HTTP protocol, it generates and transmits a response to the command carrying an image to the commanding peripheral apparatus 2A, 2B, or 2C. The peripheral apparatus 2A, 2B, or 2C upon being energized repeats an action of dispatching another image transmission command, an action of receiving the response, and an action of displaying the display image carried in the response in this order.

Abstract: Focusing on pixels that constitute a color image sequentially, color differences Cx and Cy in X and Y directions are found using image data in a mask centering around the focal pixel. For the pixel in which the sum of the color differences is not less than a predetermined value, a color difference is found in each of directions E1 and E2 that pass through the pixel and correspond to the first quadrant and the second quadrant in the X-Y coordinate system, and it is determined that the color change is generated in the direction having the larger color difference. Then, based on the determination result and the values of the color differences Cx and Cy, an angle (edge code) showing the direction of the color change is calculated.

Abstract: A coordinate (X,Y) and a rotational angle ? of a reference point O of a recognition object are computed in each edge point E, extracted on a process target image, using pieces of information on previously registered N model edge points. Votes of sin ? and cos ? are given for the coordinates (X,Y) of two-dimensional voting planes S, and C, and cumulative values for which the votes are given are computed in each coordinate. When the voting process is ended, correspondence is performed to the cumulative values of each plane in each coordinate to determine the sum of squares (S(X,Y))2+(C(X,Y))2 of the cumulative values, and the vote of the sum of squares (S(X,Y))2+(C(X,Y))2 is given for a voting plane P. A coordinate (XP,YP) in which the maximum value is obtained is extracted in the voting plane P, and the coordinate (XP,YP) is recognized as the coordinate of the reference point O. The rotational angle is computed using the cumulative values in the coordinates (XP,YP) of the planes S and C.

Abstract: An image of a product to be inspected is taken by an electronic camera and output to a controller. An operator operates a console to apply information on setting of a desired type of inspection to the controller. When the information on the desired type of inspection is applied, a controller guides to the operator through a video monitor an operation required for setting a comparing program suitable for the desired type of inspection. The operator can set the comparing program on the controller by operating the console in accordance with a display guidance. When the comparing program is set, the controller compares the image of the product applied and a preliminary prepared reference image in accordance with the set comparing program for visual inspecting the product.
