    摘要: An ultra-directional speaker having a modulator 33 for modulating an ultrasonic carrier signal with an input electric signal from an audible sound signal source, and an emitter 44 for emitting an output of the modulator 33 is mounted in a moving object 1 having a target tracking system for sensing a target in a surrounding space in real time using the above-mentioned emitter 44. The moving object equipped with ultra-directional speaker can therefore transmit a voice only to a specific target through parametric action caused by the nonlinearity of finite amplitude of ultrasonic wave.

    摘要: In an artificial intelligence system for image recognition, a global image of an object is input from a camera or other optical pick-up device, and is processed in a global image processing means, which performs analytical processing on the global image by extracting global characteristics of the input image and evaluating consistency of the extracted global characteristics. Simultaneously, the image data is processed in a local image processing means which undertakes analytical processing on a plurality of local images defining local portions of the image to be recognized. The local image processing means is constructed by plural modules, each further defined by sub-modules, which conduct respective analyses corresponding to local images having characteristics useful in recognizing the global image, wherein each local processor extracts characteristics of an input local image and evaluates consistency of the extracted characteristic with the object to be recognized. Importantly, the global image processing means receives inputs from the local modules, and deactivates functions of local modules which are inconsistent with the global characteristics, while activating and promoting functions of local modules which are consistent with the global characteristics. Through top-down control from the global image processor, as well as inter-module signals between respective local processing modules, since inconsistent processes are quickly discovered,

    摘要: An artificial visual apparatus and method for image recognition having a simple adaptive scaling mechanism enables the definition of scale invariant visual icons in a processing area corresponding to the anterior inferotemporal cortex (AIT) in a one-step, value-based decision making process. Icon related activity states resulting from sensory filtering to a fourth stage KL filter corresponding to the V4 area are recognized independent of the scale and position of the item to be recognized within the maximum visual field. The AIT processing area controls the window of attention in the V4 area and confines further processing onto this selected spotlight. The invention presents a biologically plausible method for scale invariant mapping from the V4 stage filter to the AIT processor. Filtering based on principal component analysis (PCA), or Karhunen-Loeve (KL) filtering, yields image data of the item of interest in the V4 stage filter, such data then being supplied to the AIT processor by a scale-invariant mapping process which controls the number of inputs to the KL filters to achieve constant resolution independent of the scale of the item of interest in the maximum visual field. Thus, the problem of scale-invariant mapping is reduced to a simple adaptive thresholding by feedforward inhibition at the AIT processor.

    摘要: An object detection apparatus and method capable of detecting objects based on visual images captured by a self-moving unit. A sequential images output section makes a train of a first input image and a second input image sequential to the first input image and outputs said train. A local area image processor calculates local flows based on said first input image and said second input image. An inertia information acquiring section measures self-motion of the unit to calculate inertia information thereof. A global area image processor uses said inertia information to estimate global flow, which is a motion field of the entire view associated to the self-motion, using said global flow and said first input image and creates a predictive image of said second input image. The global area image processor then calculates differential image data, which is a difference between said predictive image and said second input image. A figure-ground segregation section uses said differential image data to refine said local flows and compares the refined local flows with a predetermined threshold value to extract a figure candidate area, which is the area having a high probability of an object existing in the input image. An object presence/absence determination section determines presence/absence of objects in said figure candidate area.
