Abstract:
An individual identifying device includes a plurality of generation units and an imaging unit. The generation units generate a pattern on an object. The imaging unit acquires an image of the pattern in conjunction with generation of the pattern.
Abstract:
An object management device manages an object based on a microscopic pattern on the surface of the object included in an image of the surface of the object. The object management device has a position correction unit. The position correction unit aligns the image based on the microscopic pattern appearing in common on a plurality of objects.
Abstract:
An individual identifier extraction device has: an acquisition part configured to acquire an image of a layer formed on an object, containing fine particles, and having an irregular planar shape; and an extraction part configured to extract a feature quantity dependent on the planar shape of the layer and the distribution of the particles as an individual identifier of the object from the image.
Abstract:
An attachment tool includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a random pattern provided on a comparison region of a part; and an identification result-outputting unit configured to output a part identification result obtained by comparing an image characteristic of the captured image of the random pattern with a previously stored image characteristic of a random pattern of a part.
Abstract:
The invention in this application is an information acquisition/identification system provided with an image-feature storing unit, an extracting unit, an acquiring unit, and an identifying unit. The image-feature storing unit stores image features of texture patterns formed on components or products. The extracting unit extracts an information-label image and a texture-pattern image from a taken image containing at least the following: an information label that displays information regarding a component, a product, or a product comprising said component; and a texture pattern formed on said component or product. The acquiring unit acquires, from the extracted information-label image, the aforementioned information regarding the component or product. The identifying unit identifies the component, product, or component-comprising product by matching image features of the extracted texture-pattern image against the image features stored by the image-feature storing unit.
Abstract:
An individual identification apparatus includes a setting means for setting an imaging condition for imaging a matching area of an object by a camera, an acquisition means for acquiring a matching image that is an image obtained by imaging the matching area of the object by the camera, a matching means for performing matching between the matching image and a registration image registered in advance, and a control means. The control means repeats processing of acquiring the matching image by the acquisition means and matching between the matching image and the registration image by the matching means, while changing the imaging condition set by the setting means, and determines an imaging condition in which a matching degree between the matching image and the registration image becomes a preset threshold or larger. The matching means identifies an individual based on the matching image captured under the determined imaging condition.
Abstract:
A system that manages an individual of a PTP sheet includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire an image of a PTP sheet captured from an opening side or a projecting side of a pocket part, an extracting unit configured to extract a feature value depending on a local positional relation between a print part on a cover film in the image and a grid pattern formed on the cover film during thermal bonding, and a generating unit configured to generate individual identification information used for identification of the PTP sheet from the extracted feature value.
Abstract:
An individual identification system includes an acquiring means and a determining means. The acquiring means is configured to acquire a matched image obtained by shooting part of a predetermined region of a matching target object. The determining means is configured to calculate a score representing a degree to which a partial image similar to the matched image exists in a registration image obtained by shooting a predetermined region of a registration target object, and determine based on the score whether or not the matching target object is identical to the registration target object.
Abstract:
An image capturing device, configured to illuminate an object by an illumination means and capture reflected light from the object as a reflection image by a capturing means, includes an irradiation angle range determination means. The irradiation angle range determination means determines, assuming that a group of pieces of unevenness existing at the same position on the surfaces of a plurality of individuals of an object is an unevenness group, an irradiation angle range for irradiating the object by the illumination means, on the basis of a statistic value of the inclination angles of the unevenness group in which variations in the inclination angles of the unevenness between individuals is larger than other unevenness groups, among the plurality of unevenness groups.
Abstract:
An electrical product management system identifying and managing an individual electrical product includes a camera and a management device. The camera is configured to acquire an image of a surface of at least one blade of a plurality of blades included by a power plug of the electrical product. The management device is configured to authenticate the individual electrical product based on the image acquired by the camera.
