    摘要: Optical imaging includes: configuring a spatial mode sorter to provide, in response to a received input optical signal, a separate output optical signal for each spatial mode in a set of target spatial modes: receiving a set of output optical signals from the spatial mode sorter during a detection interval of time: processing information based at least in part on the set of output optical signals received in the detection interval of time: and providing an estimated measurement for discriminating among a first set of two or more predetermined target images based at least in part on information derived from the processing. During the detection interval of time, a total number of the output optical signals is greater than two and less than ten.

    摘要: A lane line recognition apparatus includes an imaging device, a lane-line-search-region setting section, a light-streak-search-region setting section, a light-streak determination section, a light-streak-reaching determination section, and a mask processing section. The imaging device is to be mounted on a vehicle and captures an image of a traveling environment in front of the vehicle. The lane-line-search-region setting section sets a lane-line search region on the image. The light-streak-search-region setting section sets a light-streak search region adjacently to the lane-line search region. The light-streak determination section determines whether a light streak that crosses, in a vertical direction of the image, the light-streak search region is found. The light-streak-reaching determination section determines, if the light streak is found, whether the light streak reaches the lane-line search region. The mask processing section performs, if the light streak reaches the lane-line search region, a mask process on the light streak.

    摘要: A mask structure optimization device includes a classification target image size acquisition unit that is configured to acquire a size of a classification target image which is an image including a classification target, a mask size setting unit that is configured to set a size of a mask applied to the classification target image, a brightness detection unit that is configured to detect a brightness of each pixel within the classification target image at a position on an opposite side of the mask from the classification target image, a sum total brightness calculation unit that is configured to calculate the sum total brightness of the each pixel within the classification target image detected by the brightness detection unit, an initial value setting unit that is configured to set an initial value for a mask pattern of the mask, and a movement unit that is configured to relatively move the mask with respect to the classification target image. The sum total brightness calculation unit is configured to calculate the sum total brightness of the each pixel within the classification target image every time the movement unit relatively moves the mask by a predetermined movement amount. The mask structure optimization device further includes a mask pattern optimization unit that is configured to optimize the mask pattern of the mask on the basis of the sum total brightness.

    摘要: A turbine blade or vane inspection apparatus comprising a controller, mounting for holding a turbine blade or vane, a source of illumination, and a camera. At least two of the source of illumination, the camera, and the mounting are moveable components. The controller is configured to control the moveable components to (a) position the turbine blade or vane mounted thereon relative to the illumination source so as to provide a contrast of illumination between a feature of the turbine blade or vane and an adjacent surface of the turbine blade or vane and (b), position the camera so that the optical axis of the camera is directed towards the feature. The controller is further configured to determine a dimension and/or shape of the feature based on an image obtained by the camera.

    摘要: The present invention comprises an enrolment method comprising steps of: acquisition (100) of an image showing a photograph itself showing an individual, extraction (102), from the image of a characteristic of the image other than a biometric model, obtaining (104) personal data of the individual other than by the image-processing algorithm, generation (106) of a reference datum (W) from the characteristic of the image and the obtained personal data, calculation (108) of an encoded datum (s) by application of an encoding procedure to the reference datum (W) and to a random datum (c), calculation (110) of a hash (h(c) of the random datum, storage (112) in a database of the datum encoded (s) in association with the hash. The invention also comprises an identity-control method using such stored data.

    摘要: A method for encoding a point cloud feature includes: obtaining an original point cloud, generating point-wise hybrid scale voxel features by conducting hybrid scale voxelization on the original point cloud; generating voxel-wise attention features using spatial features and voxel features of points in a voxel at each voxel scale; aggregating the hybrid scale voxel features and the attention features to obtain voxel-wise projection scale information; and mapping the voxel-wise projection scale information to pseudo image features at projection scales. In this way, points can be retained during voxelization, and a feature encoding network is guided by the attention features to be more attentive to interrelationships between points in the voxels, thereby increasing accuracy of three-dimensional object detection.
