摘要:
An image recognition apparatus is capable of recognizing an image of an object of interest with high recognition accuracy even when the object is difficult to recognize only from image information acquired by an image pickup apparatus. The image recognition apparatus includes image information acquisition means for capturing image information of an image taken on a road, road feature information acquisition means for acquiring, from map information, road feature information C associated with a feature in the neighborhood of a position where the image information is taken, and image information recognition means for recognizing the image information using the road feature information C to recognize an image of an object to be recognized corresponding to the feature included in the image information.

Image information apparatuses, methods, and programs acquire image information of a plurality of frames of images sensed at predetermined regular time intervals. The apparatuses, methods, and programs detect a leading and trailing end of a lane mark included in a detection area defined in each frame of the image information. The apparatuses, methods, and programs detect a detected distance from one of the leading and trailing end of the lane mark to the other one as a detected distance based on the speed of the vehicle and the number of frames between a frame in which one of the leading end and the trailing end of the lane mark is detected and a frame in which the other one of the leading end and the trailing end of the lane mark is detected and determine a lane mark type of the lane mark on the basis of the detected distance.

The present invention provides an optical waveguide having a low temperature dependence of the difference in refractive index between a core resin and a clad resin and exhibiting excellent optical properties in all the operating temperatures.An optical waveguide of the present invention includes cured resin products each containing, as constituent components, first fluorine-containing monomers each having a perfluoroadamantane structure. With this arrangement, it is possible to obtain an optical waveguide that is excellent in both optical properties and temperature dependence of difference in refractive index between a core resin and a clad resin.

A navigation apparatus is obtained that can reduce as much as possible to blank interval during the navigation even when a route deviation has occurred. In order to structure a navigation apparatus that includes a guided vehicle position determining means 3c that finds the position of a guided vehicle and a recommended route searching means 3i that searches for a recommended route to a destination point, a problem condition identifying means 3f is provided that identifies the presence or absence of a problem condition that makes the travel along the recommended route Ro difficult when viewed in terms of the current condition of the guided vehicle with respect to the recommended route Ro forward travel side of the position of the guided vehicle, and a route deviation plan means 3h is provided that sets a point that the guided vehicle is anticipated to reach under the presence of the problem condition to the starting point, activates the recommended route searching means 3i, and searches for a new recommended route Rn from the starting point to a destination point in the case in which the problem condition identifying means 3f has identified that a problem condition is present.

In a light modulating apparatus for an excimer discharge lamp high frequency voltage whose frequency is 1000 Hz band or higher is applied to the excimer discharge lamp and light is modulated by changing the frequency of the high frequency voltage, on-time per ½ cycle of the frequency is set so that the on-time is approximately equal to charging time for acquiring electric charges which contribute to light emission of the excimer discharge lamp, whereby stable light modulation is possible. Further, the high frequency voltage is modulated by rectangular waveform voltage having low frequency which is lower than that of the high frequency voltage whereby light can be stably modulated in a wide range.

A pigment dispersion liquid comprises pigment particles dispersed in a dispersion medium, the difference (D90−D10) between D90 and D10 being not more than 25 nm, wherein D90 and D10 represent the primary particle size that the pigment particles having a primary particle size up to and including D90 account for 90% by number of the total pigment particles, and the particle size that the pigment particles having a primary particle size up to and including D10 account for 10% by number of the total pigment particles, respectively, in the integral of the primary particle size distribution function dG=f(D)dD of the pigment particles in which G is a particle number (%) and D is a primary particle size (nm).
摘要:
From a mobile communication device, road information about either a preliminarily registered point or an arbitrary point on a route from a present position to a destination is transmitted to and received in a network navigation center via a cellular phone base station and a general telephone network. Based on that road information, the network navigation center retrieves traffic information about the registered point or the arbitrary point on the route, and then transmits the retrieved traffic information to the mobile communication device via the general telephone network and the cellular phone base station. The traffic information includes traffic congestion area data about the registered point or the arbitrary point on the route, which is displayed on a display in the mobile communication device wherein the user is informed of future traffic information like traffic congestion.
