An information processing device includes a processing unit that recognizes an action based on sensor data output by a sensor and obtained in a same timing as a photographing timing of an image string. The processing unit associates information indicating the action as information for a selection of a reproduction position at a time of a reproduction of the image string with the image string. In addition, the processing unit extracts a plurality of features from the sensor data. The processing unit recognizes the action based on a time series of the plurality of features using a model for a recognition.

In a vehicle having an electrical system including a ground circuit that provides an operative connection from the electrical system to an electrical ground and an electric power generator driven by an engine of the vehicle, the generator arranged to selectively provide electric power to an electrical load of the vehicle and to selectively charge a battery of the vehicle, a fault detection system is provided for detecting an open circuit or high resistance fault in the ground circuit. The fault detection system includes: a controller that controls a voltage output of the generator so as to at least one of restrict or suspend charging or increase or start charging of the battery by the generator for a designated test period; and, determining means for determining a current discharge from or charging current into the battery during the test period, wherein if the determined current discharge or charging current is less than a given threshold, then an open circuit or high resistance fault is deemed to be detected in the ground circuit.
摘要:
A photocatalyst dispersion liquid contains titanium oxide particles, tungsten oxide particles, a phosphoric acid (salt) and a dispersion medium, and a containing amount of the phosphoric acid (salt) is from 0.001 mol times to 0.2 mol times with respect to the titanium oxide particles. In this photocatalyst dispersion liquid, the aggregation of the particles is suppressed and thus solid-liquid separation is not easily generated. According to this process for producing a photocatalyst dispersion liquid, titanium oxide particles are dispersed in a dispersion medium containing a phosphoric acid (salt) dissolved therein to obtain a titanium oxide particle dispersion liquid, and then tungsten oxide particles are mixed in the titanium oxide particle dispersion liquid.
摘要:
An image recognition apparatus, method and program capable of discriminatively recognizing an object at an enhanced recognition rate despite an increase in the total number of reference images registered in image databases. When any individual person or public corporation for example is to be specified from the object image obtained by shooting the person or the like, one image database of the attribute corresponding to various situations, or familiarity to the object image is selected automatically, and then the person or corporation is specified from the shot image while referring to the reference images stored in the image database of the selected attribute. Therefore, even if the sum of the reference images is increased, since they are subdivided and classified corresponding to the attributes, the number of the reference images for each attribute can be reduced, and further the image database of the optimal attribute can be selected automatically in conformity to the situation of recognition such as date, time and so on. Thus, the number of the reference images can be minimized without the user's intentional manipulation, and the reference images are narrowed down due to the additional information of the situation.

摘要:
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus which may include scene change detection means, object detection means, and determining means. The scene change detection means may be configured to detect a scene change in a motion picture. The object detection means may be configured to detect a predefined object that is contained as a subject in still pictures constituting the motion picture. The determining means may be configured to determine, in accordance with the result of a detection operation that is performed by the object detection means in relation to still pictures constituting a predefined scene between a scene change detected by the scene change detection means and a chronologically adjacent scene change, whether the predefined scene contains a still picture containing the predefined object as a subject.
