摘要:
Words possibly included in a scene image shot by a mobile camera can be efficiently extracted using a word dictionary or a map database. Positional information acquiring means 101 measures a current position of the device to acquire positional information. Directional information acquiring means 102 detects a direction of the device to acquire directional information. Character recognizing means 104 determines a range of shooting of a scene image based on the current positional information and the directional information. The character recognizing means 104 extracts from a map database 103 information such as store names, building names, and place names associated with positions in the shooting range. Then the character recognizing means 104 conducts character recognition using word knowledge such as the extracted store names, building names, and place names.
摘要:
A pattern recognizing method for matching a binary or ternary reference image and an input grayscale image, having a precision similar to the method in which a plurality of binary reference images are generated by supposing settable various binarization threshold value and comparing the distances between the plurality of binary reference images and the grayscale image, and enabling the processing time to be shorter. The first accumulated histogram of the pixels of the grayscale image corresponding to a high density region of the binary reference image and the second accumulated histogram opposite to it and of the pixels of the grayscale image corresponding to the low density region of the reference image are generated and summated. The existence or absence of a pattern is judged by comparing the minimum value of the summated accumulated histogram and a threshold value.

摘要:
When a mobile is detected using an imaging device installed in the mobile, the image of a partial area is enlarged/reduced depending on variation in distance to the detection object mobile and then it is compared under a fixed scale thus causing increase in computation cost. In order to eliminate the need for an enlargement/reduction processing or a deformation correction processing every time when collation is performed, an input image is converted into a virtual plane image having a size or a shape on the image of a detection object mobile which does not vary depending on the distance between the mobiles. Using a pair of virtual plane images obtained at two different times, points are made to correspond and the mobile is detected based on the gap of corresponding points.

An angular velocity sensor includes a stem and a vibrator that is supported by the stem. The vibrator is inclined to a mounting surface of the stem. The angle of inclination of the vibrator to the mounting surface is adjustable. For this reason, the angular velocity sensor also includes a holding member that holds the vibrator. This holding member is elastically deformable. A single material may be folded to shape the holding member.

摘要:
A conductive composition capable of producing a conductive paint with excellent flexibility and a high conductivity comparable to that of metallic silver, without using high temperatures as film forming conditions. The conductive composition includes a particulate silver compound and a binder, and optionally a reducing agent and a binder. Silver oxide, silver carbonate and silver acetate and the like are used as the particulate silver compound. Ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol diacetate and the like are used as the reducing agent, and a fine powder of a thermosetting resin such as a polyvalent phenol compound, phenol resin, alkyd resin or polyester resin, or a thermoplastic resin such as a styrene resin or polyethylene terephthalate, with an average particle diameter from 20 nm to 5 μm is used as the binder. Furthermore, the average particle diameter of the particulate silver compound is preferably from 0.01 to 10 μm.

The invention relates to a piezoelectric acceleration sensor and to a piezoelectric acceleration device which use a film piezoelectric element.Speicfically, the piezoelectric acceleration sensor and the piezoelectric acceleration sensor device generate relatively large outputs when acceleration occurs along the sensing axis, but produce relatively small outputs from acceleration perpendicular to the sensing axis. In addition, the sensor and the sensor device are relatively unaffected by temperature fluctuations and are highly impact-resistant.

A magnetic disk comprises a substrate of a resin composition comprising a polymer being capable of the anisotropic phase in the molten state and a magnetic layer formed on at least one surface of said substrate. The substrate is a laminate of a plurality, preferably two, of monoaxially oriented sheets, eventually being multiaxially oriented.
