    Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes a boundary line extraction means that extracts a boundary line of a layer from an input image obtained by capturing an image of a target object composed of a plurality of layers. The boundary line extraction means is configured to first extract boundary lines at upper and lower ends of the target object, limit a search range using the extracted boundary lines at the upper and lower ends to extract another boundary line, limit the search range using an extraction result of the other boundary line to extract still another boundary line, and then sequentially repeat similar processes to extract subsequent boundary lines. In another aspect, the image processing apparatus includes a boundary line extraction means that extracts a boundary line of a layer from an input image obtained by capturing an image of a target object composed of a plurality of layers and a search range setting means that utilizes an already extracted boundary line extracted by the boundary line extraction means to dynamically set a search range for another boundary line. According to such an image processing apparatus and image processing method, boundary lines of layers can be extracted with a high degree of accuracy from a captured image of a target object composed of a plurality of layers.

    Abstract: A bioinformation acquiring apparatus includes at least one processor and a memory configured to store a program to be executed in the processor. The processor acquires a waveform signal representing vibrations of a target, the vibrations resulting from heartbeats of the target; extracts provisional heartbeat timings from the acquired waveform signal based on a first time window; the provisional heartbeat timings indicating provisional values of heartbeat timings being timings at which the heartbeats of the target occur; acquires corrective peak timings from the acquired waveform signal based on a second time window having a shorter time length than the first time window, each of the corrective peak timings serving as a discrete correction unit for correction of the provisional heartbeat timings; corrects the extracted provisional heartbeat timings into definitive heartbeat timings based on the acquired corrective peak timings; and acquires bioinformation on the heartbeats of the target based on the corrected heartbeat timings.

    Abstract: An autonomous movement device includes an obstacle detector, a map creator, an obstacle canceller, and a router. The obstacle detector detects an obstacle. The map creator records information about the obstacle detected by the obstacle detector on an environment map. The obstacle canceller cancels the information about the obstacle recorded by the map creator from the environment map. The router sets a moving route based on the information recorded on the environment map.

    Abstract: A bioinformation acquiring apparatus includes at least one processor; and a memory configured to store a program to be executed in the processor. The processor acquires bioinformation in a chronological order; derives outlier level parameters, the outlier level parameter indicating a level of inclusion of outliers of the bioinformation in pieces of bioinformation acquired within a first duration; derives correction terms based on the bioinformation after removal of the outliers of the bioinformation from pieces of bioinformation acquired within a second duration that is longer than the first duration; selects one or both of a first correction procedure and a second correction procedure based on the outlier level parameters, as a correction procedure, the first correction procedure using the correction terms, the second correction procedure involving interpolation irrelevant to the correction terms; and corrects the outliers of the bioinformation within the first duration by the selected correction procedure.
