  • Publication number: 20190035093
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a first analyzing unit (2020), a second analyzing unit (2040), and an estimating unit (2060). The first analyzing unit (2020) calculates a flow of a crowd in a capturing range of a fixed camera (10) using a first surveillance image (12). The second analyzing unit (2040) calculates a distribution of an attribute of objects in a capturing range of a moving camera (20) using a second surveillance image (22). The estimating unit (2060) estimates an attribute distribution for a range that is not included in the capturing range of the moving camera (20).

  • Publication number: 20180299382
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluorescence image analyzing apparatus including a light source that emits light to a sample including a plurality of cells labeled with a fluorescent dye at a target site, an imaging unit that captures a fluorescence image of each of the cells that emit fluorescence by being irradiated with the light, a fluorescence image of the cell, and a processing unit that processes the fluorescence image captured by the imaging unit to acquire a bright spot pattern of fluorescence in the fluorescence image. The processing unit selects a reference pattern corresponding to a measurement item of the sample from a plurality of reference patterns corresponding to a plurality of measurement items and generates information used for determination of the sample based on the bright spot pattern of fluorescence in the fluorescence image and the selected reference pattern.

  • Patent number: 9129511
    Abstract: The fact that a movable object exits a specific area is judged with high accuracy. A first movement sensor detects the movement of the movable object in a first area. A second movement sensor detects the movement of the movable object in a second area including the first area. A time judgment unit judges whether or not a time difference from a time point when a measurement value obtained by the first movement sensor becomes a predetermined value or less to a time point when a measurement value obtained by the second movement sensor becomes the predetermined value or less is a first threshold value or more. An existence judgment unit judges that the movable object does not exist in the first area in the case where the time judgment unit has judged that the time difference is the first threshold value or more.
