Abstract:
A calculation device comprises a color evaluation unit that acquires a sensor color and four or more reference colors from photography data from a measurement time when an indication object was photographed in a second photography environment; determines coefficients for color conversion between a first and the second photography environments based on the amount of change from color information for the reference colors in the first photography environment, which has been read from a calculation device storage unit, to color information for the reference colors in the second photography environment, which has been acquired from the photography data; and uses the sensor color acquired from the photography data from the measurement time and the color conversion coefficients to correct the sensor color to the color that would have been photographed in the first photography environment by solving a conversion formula including terms representing an affine transformation consisting of translation.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an artificial olfactory sensing system capable of sniffing out various odors highly sensitively.The artificial olfactory sensing system includes: plural sensor cells on a lipid membrane of each of which olfactory receptors have developed; and plural ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) that correspondingly exist to the sensor cells on a one-on-one basis. A response signal showing that each of the olfactory receptors of each of the sensor cells has recognized an odor molecule is converted into an electric signal by an ISFET corresponding to each of the sensor cells.
Abstract:
A calculation device includes a storing unit that records discoloration characteristics about a sensor which changes color according to a size of physical quantity and a time when the physical quantity lasts, as a discoloration map with the physical quantity and the time as axes, for every sensor, and a physical quantity converting unit that specifies an area within each discoloration map corresponding to the color information of each sensor measured from a display area including the plural sensors having mutually different discoloration characteristics, calculates an overlapping area when the discoloration maps overlap each other as for the specified areas within the discoloration maps, and specifies a combination of the corresponding physical quantity and time from the position of the overlapping area within the discoloration map.

Abstract:
A computer system manages model information for defining a U-Net configured to execute, on the input time-series data, an encoding operation for extracting a feature map relating to the target wave by using downsampling blocks and a decoding operation for outputting data for predicting the first motion time of the target wave by using upsampling blocks, executes the encoding operation and the decoding operation on the input time-series data by using the model information. The downsampling blocks and the upsampling blocks each includes a residual block. The residual block includes a time attention block calculates a time attention for emphasizing a specific time domain in the feature map. The time attention block includes an arithmetic operation for calculating attentions different in time width, and calculates a feature map to which the time attention is added by using the attentions.
