    Abstract: A calibration device is a calibration device configured to calibrate a load meter that measures an axle load of a vehicle. The calibration device includes a detector and a calibrator. The detector detects a displacement amount corresponding to displacement caused on a road by the axle load of the vehicle. The calibrator aggregates the displacement amounts detected by the detector to generate a histogram of the displacement amounts, and updates a displacement coefficient for calculating the axle load of the vehicle based on a shape of the histogram. The calibrator updates the displacement coefficient base only on the shape of the histogram corresponding to a first axle serving as a forefront axle of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A lighting unit illuminates an object with at least one type of excitation light and illumination light. An imaging unit captures images with at least one type of fluorescent light generated by the object illuminated with the excitation light, and with reflected light caused when the object reflects the illumination light. A fluorescent light detector generates a delay time distribution image of fluorescent light from a fluorescent light image captured by the imaging unit. A distance measuring unit generates a range image from a reflected light image captured by the imaging unit.

    Abstract: A monitoring system includes an axle weight measurer and a state estimator. The axle weight measurer detects a surface displacement of a road from a first captured image obtained by imaging the road when a vehicle passes at a predetermined spot of a structure having the road that the vehicle passes, and calculates an axle weight of the vehicle from the surface displacement and a displacement coefficient of the road. The state estimator generates an axle weight distribution from the axle weight calculated by the axle weight measurer, and estimates a deterioration degree of the structure, using the axle weight distribution.

    Abstract: The illumination apparatus according to the present disclosure emits illumination light to an object which is to be captured by an imaging apparatus that captures an imaging area for every predetermined capturing unit. The illumination apparatus includes a controller that acquires imaging information including a scanning timing from the imaging apparatus to calculate an imaging range of the imaging apparatus at each the scanning timing, determines an illumination range at each the scanning timing using a distance to the imaging apparatus from the object present within the imaging range and a positional relation between the imaging apparatus and the illumination apparatus, and controls emission of the illumination light to the determined illumination range in synchronization with the scanning timing.

    Abstract: A determination device includes: a distinctive region detector that detects a first distinctive region from first images that include a person and captured at mutually different time points; a reference position calculator that calculates a reference position from second images that include the person and captured at substantially the same time as the first images; a mapper that, when the first distinctive region is detected from one or more first images, maps, for each of the one or more first images, the detected first distinctive region onto the person included in a second image captured at substantially the same time as the first image, based on the first distinctive region and the reference position calculated from the second image; and a determiner that determines a possession of the person based on a mapping result. Each first image is a sub-terahertz wave image.
