Abstract:
Disclosed is a display condition analysis device which is capable of analyzing the display conditions of products. This display condition analysis device is provided with: a product recognition means for recognizing, from a display image taken of products on display, the products in the display image; and a display condition analysis means for analyzing, on the basis of the positions of the recognized products, the display conditions of the products on display.
Abstract:
Merchandise management is implemented by recognizing a piece of merchandise in an image on a video in real time. A piece of merchandise and m-number of first local feature which are respectively 1-dimensional to i-dimensional feature vectors are stored after being associated with each other, n-number of feature points are extracted from an image on a video captured by an imaging unit, n-number of second local feature which are respectively 1-dimensional to j-dimensional feature vectors are generated, a smaller number of dimensions of the number of dimensions i and the number of dimensions j is selected, and a recognition that the merchandise exists in the image on the video is made when it is determined that a prescribed proportion or more of the m-number of first local feature of the selected number of dimensions correspond to the n-number of second local feature of the selected number of dimensions.

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to reduce the size of encoded feature descriptors. A feature descriptor encoding apparatus includes a feature point detection unit that detects feature points from an image and outputs coordinate values; a local feature descriptor extracting unit that extracts local feature descriptors from local regions centered on the coordinate values of the feature points; a coordinate value scanning unit that converts the coordinate values into index values according to a specific scanning method; a sorting unit that sorts the index values; a difference calculation unit that calculates a differential value between two adjacent index values of the sorted index values and outputs a sequence of differential values; a differential encoding unit that encodes the sequence of the differential values in a sequential permutation; and a local feature descriptor encoding unit that encodes the local feature descriptors of the corresponding feature points in the same permutation as that of the sorted index values.
Abstract:
An input image showing a same object as an object shown in a reference image is identified more accurately. A difference area in the input image is determined by converting a difference area in the reference image, on a basis of geometric transformation information calculated by an analysis using a local descriptor. By matching a descriptor extracted from the difference area in the input image with the difference area in the reference image, fine differences that cannot be identified by conventional matching using only a local descriptor can be distinguished and images showing a same object can be exclusively identified.
Abstract:
Moisture content information in soil at a specified site is acquired. Moisture content information a ground surface within a given range that includes the specified site is acquired. An amount of runoff or storage volume of water on the ground surface or in a ground at a freely-selected site in the given range is calculated based on the moisture content information in soil and the moisture content information at the ground. A degree of risk of flood disaster at the freely-selected site within the given range is calculated based on the amount of runoff or storage volume of water on the ground surface. A point where there is the risk of flood disaster within the given range is determined and highlighted based on the degree of risk of flood disaster.
Abstract:
A structure abnormality detection device that detects an abnormality of a structure includes means for storing a model that predicts, from a first inspection value acquired at a first inspection position, a second inspection value acquired at a second inspection position that is a position where a vibration intensity in vibration of a predetermined vibration mode at a natural frequency of the structure is substantially the same as at the first inspection position; and means for detecting an abnormality of the structure by evaluating fidelity of the first inspection value and the second inspection value acquired at a particular time to the model.

Abstract:
In order to achieve highly accurate prediction across a wide area for disasters caused by rainfall, this disaster prediction system includes: soil moisture acquisition means that acquires amount of moisture in soil at a specified site, ground surface moisture acquisition means that acquires amount of moisture at a ground surface within a given range that includes the specified site, and estimation means estimates amount of moisture in soil at a freely-selected site in the given range or a parameter that indicates a property of soil at the freely-selected site in the given range, based on the amount of moisture in the soil at the specified site and the amount of moisture at the ground surface within the given range.
