An underground water level sensing unit comprising:
a housing member (201a; 301) buried in said ground; a plurality of water sensors (208; 303) arranged on said housing member at pretermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of said housing member, wherein each of the plurality of water sensors is capable of sending presence of water in the form of an electrical signal; and a computing unit (206; 307) for obtaining an underground water level on the basis of electrical signals from said plurality of water sensors.

A light-and-shade inspecting apparatus (100) and method therefor, includes an image pick-up device (1) for picking up an image of the object (2) to output an image data, an integrated image calculating portion (6) for dividing the image data outputted from the image pick-up device (1) into a mesh pattern of meshes and then adding together the image data within each of the divided meshes to obtain an integrated image, a differentiated image calculating portion (7) for performing a difference operation between each pair of meshes separated by a predetermined interval from each other with respect to their corresponding two integrated images obtained through the integrated image calculating portion (6), a defect detecting portion (8) for comparing a value obtained through the differentiated image calculating portion (7) with a predetermined value to detect as a defect portion which is partially different in luminance from the other portions on the object, an average value calculating portion (9) for calculating an average value of the integrated image obtained through the integrated image calculating portion (6), and a light-and-shade deciding portion (10) for deciding whether the defect detected by the defect detecting portion (8) includes a light defect or a shade defect based on the average value obtained through the average value calculating portion (9) and values of the integrated images in respective pairs of meshes apart by the predetermined interval from each other which have been subjected to the difference operation. Thus, low contrast defects can be precisely detect by distinguishing light and shade defects from each other and without mistaking a single defect for two separate defects.

A defect integrated processing apparatus and method for performing a processing in an integrated fashion of various kinds of defect and then detecting the accurate number, positions, sizes, etc. of the defects in detail, includes detecting light-and-shade defects based on an image data obtained by picking up an object to be inspected. Edges and minute defects on the object are detected by performing a differential processing of the image data, low contrast light-and-shade defects are detected by performing an integral processing of the image data obtained through the image pick-up device and then a differential processing of an obtained integrated image, and an integrated information of defects is obtained by performing a processing in an integrated fashion of detected defects.

a plurality of sensing units are buried at suitable intervals in an area of ground or a snow accumulation section to be observed. Each of the sensing units includes a gyro-sensor (102) for, when external force acts on it as a result of the displacement of the ground or the snow accumulation section, sensing impulsive acceleration from the magnitude and direction of the displacement and the inclination of the sensing unit itself, and a transmission section (108) for transmitting the sense data by radio. A base station acquires the sense data transferred from the sensing units, processes the sense data for each measuring point in real time, determines the movement of the ground and/or the snow accumulation section, and judges a state of the ground and/or the snow accumulation section on the basis of the movement.

In a contact lens visual inspection method and apparatus, a contact lens insertion portion (33a) of a container (33) is first imaged by an image pickup device and then an area which locates on the container and is unnecessary for the visual inspection of a contact lens is extracted from the image of the contact lens insertion portion to form a mask image. Thereafter, a system containing the contact lens insertion portion (33a) of the container, the preservation liquid filled in the contact lens insertion portion and the contact lens placed in the contact lens insertion portion is imaged as an inspection object by the imaging device to obtain an inspection object image, the inspection object image is overlapped with the mask image, and the mask image is subtracted from the inspection object image to set as a visual inspection area the area corresponding to a subtracting image obtained by said subtracting step. The defects of the contact lens such as soil, foreign matters, scratch, breakage, peripheral damage, etc. detected for the visual inspection area.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus of inspecting a surface of an object article capable of precisely detecting stains or miniature defects present in the object surface. Specifically, the invention provides a method of inspecting surface irregularity of an object article having a surface of uniform or regular brightness, which comprises the steps of: gaining brightness informations for a plurality of two-dimensionally distributed pixels by taking a picture of the article surface; finding stains on the article surface in response to each information obtained in the brightness information gaining step to produce a first output; finding miniature defects smaller in size than a unit pixel in response to each information obtained in the brightness information gaining step to generate a second output; switching the first output and the second output into appropriate electrical signals in a controlled manner; and displaying the switched electrical signals on a display in a viewable condition.
