摘要:
An imaging device (15) includes a camera (30), light sources (21 to 23), an optical bandpass filter (31), and a conversion unit (60). The camera (30) includes an image sensor (33) including a N-band color filter (where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3). The M types of light sources (21 to 23) (where M is a natural number that satisfies 2 ≤ M ≤ N) have the emission spectral characteristics of having respective peaks in mutually different wavelength ranges within a visible light range and a near-infrared range. The conversion unit (60) generates image signals of M bands each having spectral sensitivity to the corresponding one of the mutually different wavelength ranges by performing a matrix operation on an N-band imaging signal (S1) obtained by the image sensor (33) when an article (12) is photographed with the camera (30). The light application direction and the emission intensity are individually selected for each of the light sources (21 to 23).
摘要:
A method for detecting microorganisms, which comprises: a training step for forming, by a classifier, feature vectors based on color data on individual points within a subject region of training in a culture medium, mapping the points in the culture medium, that are specified by the feature vectors, on a high-dimensional feature space, and linearly separating a set of the points ψ (x1), that are specified by the high-dimensional feature vectors thus obtained, to thereby color-classify the class (C1) of the culture medium; and a identifying step for forming, by a classifier, feature vectors based on color data on individual inspection points within a region in the culture medium using image data obtained by capturing an image of the culture medium under cultivation, mapping the inspection points (xj), that are specified by the feature vectors, on a high-dimensional feature space, and determining whether or not the mapped points ψ (xj), that are specified by the high-dimensional feature vectors thus obtained, belong to the class (C1) of the culture medium, thereby identifying a colony based on inspection points not belonging to the class (C1) of the culture medium.

A print inspection device includes a camera that captures a character printed on an inspection target, a shape matching processor (33), a deformation pattern generator (34), and an inspection processor (35). The shape matching processor (33) checks a shape of a captured character pattern included in a captured image obtained by the camera against a shape of a preset reference character pattern while changing a deformation degree of the shape of the reference character pattern and searches for a matched character in which a similarity of the shape of the captured character pattern to the shape of the reference character pattern is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The deformation pattern generator (34) generates a deformed character pattern obtained by deforming the reference character pattern at the deformation degree to which the character is matched in the shape matching process. The inspection processor (35) inspects whether a printed state of the character is satisfactory from a result of the comparison between the deformed character pattern and the captured character pattern.

Apparatus for applying lubricant onto a molding die (M) in a glass bottle making machine, including a spraying nozzle (11) for spraying a mist of lubricant mixed with air onto an inner surface of the molding die (M), located above the molding die, and a cylinder (20) which is connected to the spraying nozzle (11) to reciprocally move the latter between a spraying position in which the spraying nozzle (11) is located directly above the molding die (M) and an inoperative position apart from the spraying position.

An imaging device (11) includes two cameras (31, 32) that capture transmission images of an article (12) from opposite directions, a first light source (21) that emits light that is transmitted through the article (12) in a first direction (D1), and a second light source (22) that emits light that is transmitted through the article (12) in a second direction (D2). The first camera (31) captures a first image that is a transmission image of the article (12). The second camera (32) captures a second image that is a transmission image of the article (12). The first half mirror (41) reflects first transmitted light toward the first camera (31) while the second light source (22) is turned off, and also permits transmission of light traveling from the second light source (22) toward the article (12). The second half mirror (42) reflects second transmitted light toward the second camera (32) while the first light source (21) is turned off, and also permits transmission of light traveling from the first light source (21) toward the article (12).
摘要:
An alpha channel is added in addition to multiple channels forming an image of an item. A second pixel value differing from a first pixel value, which is assigned to a defect-free region, is assigned to a region corresponding to a defect region in the alpha channel. The image including the alpha channel is divided into multiple image segments. A defect label is assigned to the image segment in which the second pixel value is included in the alpha channel, and a non-defect label is assigned to the image segment, in which the second pixel value is not included in the alpha channel. The alpha channel is removed from the image segments to generate labeled image segment data.

Problem to be Solved There is provided a colony counting method capable of obtaining highly reliable and stable colony count values with easy and simple means by eliminating the variation in colony count due to image capturing conditions when the number of colonies is counted by performing data processing on an image obtained by image capturing means performing image capturing on a petri dish. Solution When the number of colonies is counted by performing image capturing and data processing on microbial colonies developed in a culture medium 1 in a petri dish 2 by a CCD camera 7 (image capturing means) provided in an extension direction of a rotational axis C1, which is set near a center of the culture medium surface 1f of the petri dish, the petri dish is rotated around the rotational axis by a specified angle obtained by dividing one rotation of the petri dish by a predetermined number, and image data of the entire culture medium surface of the petri dish is acquired for each rotation by a specified angle; the number of colonies at each specified angle is counted separately by performing data processing on image data of the entire culture medium surface of the petri dish at the specified angle; and the number of colonies in the petri dish is calculated by performing numerical processing on the number of colonies counted separately at each specified angle.
