20090148060 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - An image processing apparatus applies a separability filter to respective positions of an inputted image including a linear object, calculates separability of the respective positions, generates a separability map as a set of the separability of the respective positions, applies distance transform or thinning process to the separability map to generate a skeleton image in which the linear object is displayed, and outputs the skeleton image. | 06-11-2009 |
20100246905 | PERSON IDENTIFYING APPARATUS, PROGRAM THEREFOR, AND METHOD THEREOF - A person identifying apparatus calculates suitability as a reference for improving a face identification rate of an identical person appeared in frames of a moving image on the frame-to-frame basis, selects a frame from the moving image using the suitability, calculates a feature value from the selected frame, and identifies the face of the person on the basis of a similarity between the feature value and a feature value of a reference frame selected in advance using the suitability. | 09-30-2010 |
20120070072 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE PRODUCT - According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a readiness determining unit configured to determine whether or not a state of a face image included in an image at one time out of images obtained at a plurality of different times is a ready state that satisfies a condition for performing three-dimensionality determination, three-dimensionality determination is determining whether the object is three-dimensional or not; an initiation determining unit configured to determine whether or not a state of a face image included in an image at different time from the image at the one time is an initiation state changed from the ready state; and a first three-dimensionality determining unit configured to perform the three-dimensionality determination on the face images included in the images when it is determined that the state is the initiation state. | 03-22-2012 |
20120076360 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a receiver, a registration section, a determination section, and a controller. The receiver receives broadcast waves including signals of a plurality of channels. The registration section registers a recognition target. The determination section determines whether or not the recognition target, registered in the registration section, exists in a frame of an image including the signals of the plurality of channels included in the broadcast waves received by the receiver. The controller sequentially switches, in accordance with a determination result obtained by the determination section, the plurality of channels received by the receiver. | 03-29-2012 |
20140219519 | TRAFFIC CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - There is provided a traffic control apparatus including: an image input unit configured to input an image including a face of a user; a face detecting unit configured to detect a face area of the user from the image; a generating unit configured to obtain a difference between a state of the detected face area and a state of a optimal face area, and generate presentation information for instructing the user to move his or her face to a position suitable for the face recognition when the difference is large; and a noticing unit having a plurality of keys arranged in a matrix pattern, and configured to illuminate, blink, or extinguish one or the plurality of keys for specifying the position that the face is to be moved to on the basis of the presentation information. | 08-07-2014 |
20150205999 | TRAFFIC CONTROL APPARATUS, METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - There is provided a traffic control apparatus including: an image input unit configured to input an image including a face of a user; a face detecting unit configured to detect a face area of the user from the image; a generating unit configured to obtain a difference between a state of the detected face area and a state of a optimal face area, and generate presentation information for instructing the user to move his or her face to a position suitable for the face recognition when the difference is large; and a noticing unit having a plurality of keys arranged in a matrix pattern, and configured to illuminate, blink, or extinguish one or the plurality of keys for specifying the position that the face is to be moved to on the basis of the presentation information. | 07-23-2015 |
20160088261 | SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR SPECIFYING AN IMAGE CAPTURING UNIT, AND A NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM THEREOF - According to one embodiment, a system includes a portable device, a plurality of second image capturing units, an extraction unit, a calculation unit, and a specifying unit. The portable device includes a first image capturing unit that captures a first image of a person, and a sending unit that sends the first image. The plurality of second image capturing units captures second images. The extraction unit extracts a first feature of the first image and a second feature of each of the second images. The calculation unit calculates a similarity based on the first feature and the second feature of the each of the second images. If the similarity for a second image is larger than a predetermined threshold, the specifying unit specifies a second image capturing unit that has captured the second image, among the plurality of second image capturing units. | 03-24-2016 |
