    摘要: The present invention provides an image processing device that avoids occurrence of unintended color conversion during the logical operation processing, and produces high-resolution images. In the image processing device of the present invention, after an input color conversion unit converts the RGB color space into the CMYK color space, a first color conversion unit executes color conversion of an area subjected to the logical operation processing into the CMY color space, and a logical operation unit executes the logical operation processing. Thereafter, a second color conversion unit executes color conversion of a logical operation result into the CMYK color space. On the other hand, a pixel value comparison unit compares the color values of the CMY color space before and after the logical operation by the logical operation unit; and if coincident, an output image selection unit selects the color values converted by the input color conversion unit as they are. Thereby, as a result of the logical operation, if the color values of the images are not varied, the original color values in the CMYK color space are adopted as the output result; and therefore, there will not be unintended color conversion executed by the first and second color conversion units.

    摘要: Vehicle control apparatus enables a vehicle to positively and safely pass a curve present in a forward road ahead of the vehicle, irrespective of any error in road data used by the apparatus and any error in a detected vehicle position. The apparatus calculates a predicted passing speed for a curve on the basis of a vehicle speed and a vehicle position, and compares same with a maximum passable speed for the curve which is calculated on the basis of map information and the vehicle position to thereby determine whether the vehicle can positively and safely pass the curve. If the apparatus determines that the vehicle cannot positively and safely pass the curve, warning, automatic deceleration and/or automatic steering is executed by a control mechanism of the apparatus. At this time, the apparatus compares an actual transverse acceleration or an actual yaw rate detected by a transverse acceleration sensor or a yaw rate sensor with a reference transverse acceleration or a reference yaw rate presumed from a road shape determined by a passage-state decision quantity calculating mechanism, and a regulating mechanism regulates a controlled variable and a control timing for effecting the warning, the automatic deceleration and/or the automatic steering, thereby compensating for any error in the road data and any error in the vehicle position.

    摘要: An image of a road area ahead of a vehicle is formed based on road data read from a navigation system, or based on an image shot by a camera means such as a video camera. A temperature profile ahead of the vehicle detected by a temperature detecting means such as an infrared camera is superposed on the image of the road area. As a result, if a low-temperature zone is detected on the road area, it is determined that there is snow or ice existing on the road area, or if a high-temperature zone is detected, it is determined that there is a person or animal existing on the road area, thereby informing a driver by an alarm means or a display means to avoid such an obstruction or hazard. Thus, it is possible to perceive snow, ice, a person and an animal existing on a road ahead of the vehicle without relying on a driver's visual judgment, and to give an alarm so that the driver may timely take an appropriate countermeasure to avoid the obstruction or hazardous situation.

    摘要: Input bit map image data having a resolution of 600 dpi is converted into multivalue image data MI having a resolution of 600 dpi by a binary-to-multivalue converting unit. The multivalue image data MI is converted into multivalue image data having a resolution of 400 dpi by a resolution converting unit. The edge direction of the multivalue image data is detected by an edge direction detecting unit, so as to obtain an edge direction detection flag. Based on the edge direction detection flag, an image data outputting unit outputs multivalue image data having a resolution of 400 dpi from the edge direction detecting unit.

    摘要: A vehicle control system which controls a vehicle in accordance with the curvature of a road as determined from map information comprising a set of coordinate points which represent the course of the road. A passable vehicle speed enabling the vehicle to pass through a plurality of nodes existing at predetermined distances within an operating section established on the road ahead of a given vehicle position is calculated on the assumption that a voluntary speed reduction has been conducted. The radii of a first virtual turning locus and a second virtual turning locus produced at a predetermined lateral acceleration are calculated based on the passable vehicle speeds at the nodes. A passable zone, a warning zone and an automatic speed-reducing zone are established based on the first and second virtual turning locus radii. If any of the nodes ahead of the virtual vehicle position exists in the warning zone, a warning is provided to the driver. If any of the nodes ahead of the virtual vehicle position exists in the automatic speed-reducing zone, automatic speed reduction of the vehicle is carried out.

    摘要: A course travel judging device judges based on outputs from a map information outputting device and a subject vehicle position outputting device whether a subject vehicle is traveling on a course set by a course setting device. If the subject vehicle is traveling on the set course, a vehicle speed is controlled by a travel control device, so that the subject vehicle can safely pass through a curve ahead thereof. If the subject vehicle has deviated from the set course, an alarm is given to an occupant by an alarm device, and the control of vehicle speed by the travel control device is stopped. If a departing possibility judging device judges that there is a possibility of departing of the subject vehicle from the set course, a deviatable course is set by a deviatable course determining device, and the vehicle speed is controlled by the travel control device, so that the subject vehicle can safely pass through a curve having a severest passing condition on either of the set course or the deviatable course. Therefore, even if a vehicle has deviated from a course determined through a navigation system, an appropriate control of vehicle speed can be carried out.

    摘要: A road surface condition-detecting system for a vehicle detects a road surface condition from road noise generated by a vehicle wheel. The road surface condition is determined based on parameter data of frequency components of the road noise, by a neural network. The road noise may be corrected by eliminating therefrom a disturbance, such as audio output and exhaust noise. A present state of the road surface condition may be determined based on at least two consecutive determinations made based on the road noise detected at regular time intervals. Exclusive neural networks may be used for respective road surface condition types. One of a plurality of neural networks provided for respective vehicle speed ranges may be selected according to an actual vehicle speed. Detected sound pressure levels of the road noise extracted by frequency analysis may be normalized within respective ranges defined by upper and lower limits set corresponding to predetermined frequency ranges before being supplied to the neural network.

    摘要: In an image processing system, there are provided a plurality of plane memories for setting edit commands, a user interface for inputting edit functions, designation of area and instruction for execution, and an edit processing unit for setting and reading the edit commands to plane memories based on the edit functions, designation of area and instruction for execution. The edit processing unit collectively processes extraction and deletion areas after setting the other areas. Further, after depicting an area on a plane for work, the edit processing unit develops content for work for a plane memory for area command setting by logic processing with priority on later designation. By this arrangement, procedures are simplified in edit processing which requires many extractions and deletions, and the time for processing can be reduced.
