    Abstract: A load meter includes a detector, a storage unit, and a load calculator. The detector detects, by using a captured image obtained by capturing a road and a vehicle present on the road, a displacement amount in the captured image, the displacement amount corresponding to displacement caused on the road by application of a load of the vehicle. The storage unit stores information indicating a relation between the load and the displacement amount. The load calculator calculates the load based on the displacement amount and the information.

    Abstract: A displacement detecting apparatus includes: a detector which detects displacement, which is spatial displacement over time, of each of a plurality of measurement points which have been set on an object, using a plurality of images of the object captured at a plurality of time points; an extractor which extracts characteristic displacement specific to the object, based on the displacement detected by the detector; and a calculator which calculates overall displacement indicating displacement of the entirety of the object, from the characteristic displacement extracted by the extractor.

    Abstract: An inspection device that inspects a structure with a crack, including: an obtainer that obtains images of the structure captured at mutually different times while the structure is subjected to varying loads; a crack detector that detects a crack on a surface of the structure in each image; a motion estimator that divides each image into blocks having a predetermined size, and derives motion vectors of the blocks based on a positional relation between a position of each block relative to a reference in a first image and a position of each block relative to the reference in a second image, the reference being a tip of the crack detected, the first and second images being included in the images; and an inspector that determines safety of the structure based on a difference between ones of the motion vectors of symmetric positions with respect to the crack.

    Abstract: A displacement measurement device includes: an obtainer that obtains a first image which contains a subject and a second image which contains the subject; a generator that generates M template images which contain the subject and which have noise from the first image and generates M target images which contain the subject and which have noise from the second image, M being an integer of 2 or higher; a hypothetical displacement calculator that calculates M hypothetical displacements of the subject from the M template images and the M target images; and a displacement calculator that calculates a displacement of the subject by performing statistical processing on the M hypothetical displacements.
