| 20100046994 | SHEET WRAPPING AVOIDABLE FIXING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A fixing apparatus includes a fixing member to be heated and a pressure-contacting member for pressure contacting the fixing member. The fixing apparatus directs and conveys a recording member through a nip formed between the fixing member and pressure applying member in such a manner that a toner image carried on a recording member contacts the fixing member in order to be fixed thereto with heat and pressure. The fixing apparatus is configured to direct a tip margin of the recording member toward the pressure applying member across a virtual linear extension line drawn from a downstream end to upstream end of the nip when only the tip margin exits from the nip. A fixing member side separation device may be separately provided from the surface of the fixing apparatus so as to separate the recording member exiting from the nip. A gap formed between the downstream end of the nip and the tip of the fixing member side separation device is set smaller than the width of the tip margin. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20100128927 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - By a method such as foreground extraction or facial extraction, the area of a target object is detected from an input image, and the feature amount such as the center of gravity, size, and inclination is acquired. Using the value of a temporarily-set internal parameter, edge image generation, particle generation, and transition are carried out, and a contour is estimated by obtaining the probability density distribution by observing the likelihood. Comparing a feature amount obtained from the estimated contour and a feature amount of the area of the target object, the temporarily setting is reset by determining that the value for the temporary setting is not appropriate when the degree of matching of the both is smaller than a reference value. When the degree of matching is larger than the reference value, the value of the parameter is determined to be the final value. | 05-27-2010 |

To match a candidate curve against a contour image of the current frame, a processing to search for the closest contour to the candidate curves is divided for each knot constituting the candidate contour curve and is executed in parallel by a plurality of processors. Each image data on a search region for each knot to be processed are copied from a contour image stored in an image storage to the respective local memories. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20100328319 | INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD FOR PERFORMING PROCESS ADAPTED TO USER MOTION - A positional data acquisition unit of an action detector acquires positional data indicating the position of an image of a light-emitting part of a light-emitting device held by a user in an image frame at each time step, and also acquires curve data for the head contour at each time step estimated as a result of visual tracking by a tracking processor. A history storage unit stores a history of the positional data for an image of a light-emitting part and the curved data for the head contour. A determination criteria storage unit stores the criteria for determining that a predefined action is performed by referring to the time-dependent change in the relative position of the image of the light-emitting part in relation to the curve representing the head contour. An action determination unit determines whether the action is performed based on the actual data. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110137907 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD OUTPUTTING INFORMATION ON MOVEMENT OF PERSON - In a position history analysis unit for analyzing a position history to acquire movement history information such as places of stay, a speed history computation unit refers to the position history to determine a speed occurring at each point of time and to obtain a speed history. A categorization unit organizes a time axis in the position history, and, ultimately, data for position coordinates occurring at respective points of time, into segments of stay and segments of movement, by checking the speed history against a threshold value. A merge unit detects segments of stay which occur at different points of time but which are identified as indicating stays in the same place, by feeding the time flow, categorized into segments of stay and segments of movement by the categorization unit based on the speed, back to the position coordinates in the respective segments. The merge unit merges the segments of stay as needed. An information generation unit evaluates a set of position coordinates and speed values in each segment of stay and in each segment of movement thus obtained and derives predetermined information on each segment. | 06-09-2011 |
