| 20080303814 | Three-dimensional data processing system - A three-dimensional data processing system performs a collating operation precisely and can reduce the quantity of data necessary for presenting candidate data. A storage device stores the three dimensional data of each reference body in a set of the primary compressed data, which has been prepared by compressing three-dimensional data in an irreversible compression method, and the secondary compressed data for compensating difference between the three-dimensional data restored from the primary compressed data and the original three-dimensional data. A server device collates, when it receives the collation object data, the three-dimensional data decompressed from the primary compressed data and the secondary compressed data of each reference object with the collation object data, and transmits the primary compressed data of the several reference objects of higher similarities to the client device. This client device decompresses and displays the primary compressed data on a display device. | 12-11-2008 |

The depth distance of the target point for measurement can also be determined by exploiting the equality of a cross ratio of the distances among a set of projection points corresponding to projection of reference data points and a target point on a reference plane; of a cross ratio of distances among a set of image projection points corresponding to projection of a set of projection points on an image; and of a cross ratio of distances of a set of points which are equiphase to a set of image projection points on an arbitrary straight line on an image, respectively, relative to the cross ratio of the depth distances. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110164811 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing device calculates, from a registration image representing a photographed object and three-dimensional shape data in which respective points of a three-dimensional shape of the object are correlated with pixels of the registration image, by assuming uniform albedo, a shadow base vector group having components from which an image under an arbitrary illumination condition can be generated through linear combination. A shadow in the registration image is estimated with using the vector group. A perfect diffuse component image including the shadow is generated, and based on the image a highlight removal image is generated in which a specular reflection component is removed from the registration image. Thus, an image recognition system generates illumination base vectors from the highlight removal image and thereby can obtain the illumination base vectors based on which an accurate image recognition process can be carried out without influence of a specular reflection. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20110311131 | DATA RESTORATION METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - Three-dimensional data is compressed at a high compression ratio without deteriorating resolution and accuracy, by computing a coupling coefficient from input three-dimensional data and a three-dimensional base data group obtained from a plurality of objects and outputting the coupling coefficient as compressed data. Specifically, the three-dimensional data is input to corresponding point determination means. The corresponding point determination means generates three-dimensional data to be synthesized in which vertexes of the three-dimensional data are made to correspond to vertexes of three-dimensional reference data serving as a reference to determine association relationship between vertexes. Coefficient computation means computes a coupling coefficient for coupling a three-dimensional base data group used for synthesis of three-dimensional data to synthesize three-dimensional data to be synthesized, and outputs the computed coupling coefficient as the compressed data of the three-dimensional data. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20120002867 | FEATURE POINT GENERATION SYSTEM, FEATURE POINT GENERATION METHOD, AND FEATURE POINT GENERATION PROGRAM - A feature point generation system capable of generating a feature point that satisfies a preferred condition from a three-dimensional shape model is provided. Image group generation means 31 generates a plurality of images obtained by varying conditions with respect to the three-dimensional shape model. Evaluation means 33 calculates a first evaluation value that decreases steadily as a feature point group is distributed more uniformly on the three-dimensional shape model and a second evaluation value that decreases steadily as extraction of a feature point in an image corresponding to a feature point on the three-dimensional shape model becomes easier, and calculates an evaluation value relating to a designated feature point group as a weighted sum of the respective evaluation values. Feature point arrangement means 32 arranges the feature point group on the three-dimensional shape model so that the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation means 33 is minimized. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20080247184 | KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM - A conventional keyless entry system uses a radio wave as an unlocking or locking signal and is therefore substantially non-directional. For example, when an unlocking operation is performed, keys of all doors are unlocked, so that for example in a vehicle having a certain slide door or a kick-up door, an occupant of the vehicle may forget to lock the door. According to the presently disclosed subject matter a keyless entry system for locking and unlocking lock(s) of a vehicle can include an infrared light projector having a narrow radiation angle, and a light receiving/emitting unit corresponding to operating conditions of keys/locks. The light receiving/emitting unit can include a combination of a light receiving element for receiving the infrared light and a light emitting element for indicating the position of a key/lock which is operated correspondingly to the infrared light received by the light receiving element. Thus, among other features, locking and unlocking of only a requested door by means of the narrow radiation angle can be accomplished. | 10-09-2008 |

The apparatus can include a control circuit that can geometrically measure a vehicle height in accordance with the image data. The sensor can also receive image data from different points and from two light sources, and the apparatus can detect a vehicular lean using the different vehicle heights. Thus, because the sensors of the disclosed subject matter do not necessarily include a moving part as in the conventional sensor, the sensors can be easily attached to a vehicle body and can also be used for a vehicular lean detection. | 11-12-2009 |
