A routing guide system includes route calculating means for calculating the route of a vehicle to a destination, image providing means for reading from storage means scenery images on the route calculated by the route calculating means, and display means for displaying the scenery images on the calculated route generated by the image providing means. The routing guide system also includes route confirming means for confirming as a set route the route calculated by the route calculating means, according to an operation, during or after display of the scenery images on the calculated route by means of the display means.
摘要:
A road landscape map producing apparatus is loaded on a movable body, and produces a road landscape map. The road landscape map includes road landscape information showing a surrounding landscape in a road. The road landscape information includes road landscape classification items obtained by classifying the surrounding landscape into some items, e.g., “streetscape”, “forest” and “open road”. A photographing device such as a camera photographs surrounding images in accordance with movement of the movable body. A still picture is photographed as the surrounding image. The surrounding image is classified into the road landscape classification items by an image process. Based on a geographic position at which the surrounding image is photographed, the road landscape classification item is associated with the map information. Thereby, the road landscape map is produced. Since the produced road landscape map includes the road landscape information showing the road landscape at each point, by displaying the map, it becomes possible to easily know the landscape at each point on the map.

A power meter includes a first measurement unit 7 that measures a force applied to a first pedal B322 and calculates predetermined first information (power and/or torque) on the first pedal B322, and a second measurement unit 6 that measures a force applied to a second pedal B321 and calculates second information (power and/or torque) on the second pedal B321, which is the same kind of the first information. The first measurement unit 7 transmits first information data indicating the first information to the second measurement unit 6, and the second measurement unit 6 adds the first information to the second measurement information and transmits an added value data indicating an added value obtained by adding the first information to the second information.
摘要:
An image corresponding to image data obtained by imaging by a camera is divided into a plurality of image pieces and each of the image pieces is subjected to a color analysis process, a fractal dimension analysis process, and an artificial object amount recognition process. According to a combination of the results obtained by the three processes, a part of a landscape contained in each of the image pieces is classified and the entire characteristic of the landscape contained in the image is judged according to the classification result.
摘要:
A routing guide system has memory means provided outside a mobile body for storing data of images at a plurality of guide points. The routing guide system also has distance measuring means for measuring the distance from the current position of the mobile body to the next guide point. The routing guide system also has image request generation means for generating an image request for the next guide point when the distance measured by the distance measuring means is not more than a first predetermined distance. The routing guide system also has transmission means provided outside the mobile body for reading from the memory means an image of the next guide point in response to the image request and for transmitting that image to the mobile body. The routing guide system also has display control means for causing the mobile body to receive the image transmitted from the transmission means and causing a display device to display the image.
摘要:
A measurement module that measures force being applied to a man-powered machine includes: a strain sensor that detects strain of a crank of the bicycle configured to transmit force being applied from a user through the crank and one front gear selected among one or more front gears; an MM magnetic sensor that detects the crank passing through a predetermined position; and an MM control part. The MM control part calculates a rotation angle of the crank based on an elapsed time from a time the crank passes through the predetermined position that the sensor has detected, calculates force applied to the crank based on a strain amount of the crank that the strain sensor has detected, associates the rotation angle with the force applied to the crank to calculate distribution of the force applied from the user.
摘要:
A bicycle map is displayed on a screen. The bicycle map includes travel route information obtained by associating map information and cyclist information regarding bicycle travel routes. First, bicycle positional information regarding a bicycle being running is acquired, by use of a positioning system and also bicycle-related information when the bicycle positional information is acquired. Second, travel route information obtained by associating the bicycle positional information with the bicycle-related information is created and stored in a storage device. Then, pieces of travel route information created by the same or different information processing apparatuses are merged, and merged running route information is displayed with the map information on the screen.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for displaying an image of a view in front of a vehicle, each of which detects edges in a monochrome image obtained by a camera, which is mounted on the vehicle and photographs a view in front of the vehicle, to generate an edge image indicative of the detected edges only, determines an object forming an area surrounded with edges in the edge image; and assigns a color to the determined object for each edge-surrounded area of the edge image in order to make an estimated color image.

A vehicle-mounted pickup device measures an image pickup movable range of a camera mounted inside a vehicle based on a video signal obtained by picking up images with the camera, while changing (rotating) the image pickup direction of the camera in the yaw direction. The vehicle-mounted pickup device can increase a degree of freedom in selecting the instillation position of the camera inside the vehicle.
