摘要:
A charge member charges secondary transfer remaining toner on an intermediate transfer member to a polarity opposite to a normal charge polarity. The remaining toner is moved by a transfer bias, from the intermediate transfer member onto an image bearing member. A BK station is arranged on the downstream of other stations. In a continuous BK monochromatic mode, by applying a reverse bias to transfer portions of the other stations and applying the transfer bias only to the BK station, remaining toner can be collected into the BK station (simultaneously with the transfer). In a full-color mode, remaining toner is collected into the station on the uppermost stream. Thus, the image bearing member for collecting remaining toner on the intermediate transfer member differs according to the mode, thereby suppressing the collection of remaining toner being concentrated on one image bearing member.

In position and orientation measurement based on natural features, erroneous detection of the natural features is prevented when an observation target object is occluded by another object, and registration stability is improved. To this end, an occluding object that can occlude the observation target object is defined, and an occluding region where the occluding object occludes the observation target object is detected in an input captured image. Image features of the observation target object are detected in a region of the captured image other than the detected occluding region. Therefore, the position or orientation of an image pickup apparatus that captured the captured image, or the position or orientation of the observation target object in the captured image are calculated.

A diagnosis support apparatus includes a storage unit which stores pieces of image feature information and finding sentences as interpretation results in correspondence with each other. This apparatus acquires image feature information of a target area designated on an image to be interpreted, searches the storage unit for image feature information similar to the acquired image feature information, acquires a finding sentence stored in correspondence with the retrieved image feature information from the storage unit, and creates a finding sentence concerning interpretation of the designated target area by changing a description of the acquired finding sentence based on image feature information of the designated target area.

A mixed reality space image generation method for generating a mixed reality space image formed by superimposing a virtual space image onto a real space image obtained by capturing a real space, includes a first image superimposing step of superimposing a first virtual space image onto a real space image based on an occlusion by a real object, wherein the first virtual space image is an outer appearance of the real object, and obtaining information of location and orientation of the real object. In addition, a second virtual image is set based on the information of location and orientation of the real object, and a second image superimposing step superimposes the second virtual space image onto the superimposed image generated in the first image superimposing step without considering the occlusion, wherein the second virtual space image is an annotation associated with the real object.
