Abstract: An image processor includes an image converter. The image converter transforms data of an image that is photographed with a camera for photographing a seat, based on a transformation parameter that is calculated in accordance with a camera-position at which the camera is disposed. The image converter outputs the thus-transformed data of the image. The transformation parameter is a parameter for transforming the data of the image such that an appearance of the seat depicted in the image is approximated to a predetermined appearance of the seat.

Abstract: A drowsiness determination device includes an input unit that receives vehicle information indicating the amount of variation in an attitude of a vehicle with respect to a road surface and head information indicating the amount of movement of a head of an occupant with respect to a predetermined position and a determination unit that determines whether the occupant is drowsy, on the basis of the vehicle information and the head information. The determination unit determines that the occupant is drowsy, on the conditions that when the vehicle attitude varies, the occupant head moves in the same direction as the direction in which the vehicle attitude has varied and that a delay time between the timing when the vehicle attitude has varied and the timing when the occupant head has moved is longer than a predetermined time.

Abstract: In an air-conditioning control apparatus, an input unit receives a detection signal from a sensor that detects the presence of an object at an air-supply port of an air-conditioning apparatus, and receives a recognition result from a recognition device that recognizes a change request for changing setting of the air-conditioning apparatus by a user. In a case where wind from the air-supply port is set at a first flow rate and the input unit receives the detection signal, the control unit outputs a first control signal for changing the first flow rate to a second flow rate different from the first flow rate for a predetermined time and then setting the wind from the air-supply port at the first flow rate again. In a case where the change request is issued, the control unit outputs a second control signal for causing the air-conditioning apparatus to adjust a property of wind from the air-supply port, based on the recognition result received by the input unit.

Abstract: An image processing device includes an image processor, a display region determiner, and a zoom factor determiner. The display region determiner determines a position of a display image within a captured image based on information about an angle of the display device. The zoom factor determiner determines a zoom factor of the captured image based on information about pushing or pulling force to be applied to the display device. The image processor generates the display image to be displayed on the display device by processing the captured image using the position of the display image within the captured image, the zoom factor, and a predetermined zoom center.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted display device includes a background identifier, a background processor, and a display unit. The background identifier specifies the background of a camera image captured by a camera mounted in the vehicle based on the vanishing point in the camera image. The background processor performs background processing to reduce the clarity of the background specified by the background identifier. The display unit displays the camera image background-processed by the background processor.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible for smart devices such as smartphones to provide new operability to users. A gesture detecting device includes a motion detecting unit and a processor. The processor calculates deviation value outputted by the motion detecting unit. At timing when the deviation value exceeds a threshold value at the time of shaking out, the processor obtains a direction determination value at the time of shaking out, whereas at timing when the deviation value falls below a threshold value at the time of shaking back the smartphone, the processor obtains a direction determination value at the time of shaking back. Further, on the basis of a combination of the direction determination value, the processor detects a gesture of the gesture detecting device.

Abstract: A method capable of causing a driver to recognize multiple objects to which attention should be paid without requiring sight line shift of the driver is for a video system including a recognition unit that recognizes a moving body existing in a foreground of a user and a display source that displays a certain image generated on the basis of a result of the recognition by the recognition unit on a display medium. The method includes determining whether two or more moving bodies exist in the foreground of the user on the basis of an input data from the recognition unit; and controlling the display source, if two or more moving bodies exist, so as to generate the certain image representing a virtual line directed to each of the moving bodies from a certain position or a certain axis and display the certain image on the display medium.
