Patent number: 11128814Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus that processes a video, including continuous images expressed by a coordinate system which includes at least an angular coordinate around a predetermined axis. The image processing apparatus includes: video data acquisition means that acquires video data; sensor data acquisition means that acquires sensor data corresponding to the video data; and rotation correction means that corrects the image to cancel rotation change around the reference axis based on the sensor data so that a reference of display of the image is fixed to a specific direction during the image capturing throughout a plurality of frames of the video.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Vecnos Inc.Inventors: Toru Yamaku, Yukio Kozaki, Hironori Irie

Patent number: 6998623Abstract: A paper sheet fluorescence sensor utilizes an ultraviolet-reflecting filter to orthogonally irradiate a conveying path with ultraviolet light and receive fluorescence from a paper sheet. The ultraviolet-reflecting filter reflects ultraviolet light emitted from an ultraviolet light source, to produce light having an optical axis orthogonal to the conveying path of the paper sheet. The light transmitted through the ultraviolet-reflecting filter is detected by a fluorescence detecting device. An ultraviolet-transmitting filter is disposed between the ultraviolet-reflecting filter and the ultraviolet light source, so that the light reflected by the ultraviolet-reflecting filter attains a higher ultraviolet content, thereby improving light-detection accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2003Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Nidec Copal CorporationInventors: Kouyou Usami, Hideaki Kamijo, Kazunori Hirose, Yukio Kozaki

Publication number: 20040129893Abstract: A paper sheet fluorescence sensor 10 utilizes an ultraviolet-reflecting filter 30 in order to orthogonally irradiate a conveying path 4 with an ultraviolet ray and appropriately receive fluorescence from a paper sheet 7. The ultraviolet-reflecting filter 30 reflects light emitted from an ultraviolet light source 12, so as to produce light having an optical axis R2 orthogonal to the conveying path 4 of the paper sheet 7. The light transmitted through the ultraviolet-reflecting filter 30 is received by a fluorescence-receiving device 16. An ultraviolet-transmitting filter 15 is disposed between the ultraviolet-reflecting filter 30 and the ultraviolet light source 12, so that the light reflected by the ultraviolet-reflecting filter 30 attains a higher ultraviolet content, thereby improving the light-receiving accuracy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2003Publication date: July 8, 2004Inventors: Kouyou Usami, Hideaki Kamijo, Kazunori Hirose, Yukio Kozaki
