Patent EP-1855247-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOCHI NOBUO
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 2007-05-09
Abstract: An image processing device is provided that can precisely measure the photographing position or posture of a photographing device or the coordinates of an object based on sequentially changing photographed images. A series of sequentially photographed images are acquired, from which feature points are extracted. The feature points are tracked and correlated to each other. Stereo images are selected from the series of photographed images correlated, and subjected to an orientation and a 3D measurement. The error range of corresponding points obtained by the 3D measurement is calculated. Based on the calculated error range, it is determined whether or not the corresponding points are appropriate for 3D measurement. Those corresponding points determined as inappropriate are deleted. Another orientation and another 3D measurement are performed using those corresponding points excluding the deleted ones, thus improving the measurement precision.

Abstract: A validation authority for certificates searches for and verifies paths and certificate revocation lists periodically, and classifies the paths into valid paths and invalid paths in accordance with the results of the validations, so as to register the paths in databases beforehand. Besides, in a case where a request for authenticating the validity of a certificate has been received from an end entity, the validation authority judges the validity of the public key certificate by checking in which of the valid-path database and the invalid-path database a path corresponding to the request is registered. On the other hand, in a case where the path corresponding to the validity authentication request is not registered in either of the databases, the validity of the public key certificate is authenticated by performing path search and validation anew.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus supporting efficient paging in a wireless communications system supporting both access node based communications and peer to peer communications are described. Paging timing intervals are set aside in the timing structure such that multi-mode wireless terminals can monitor, e.g., in an infrastructure band, for pages from a base station whether the wireless terminal is operating in a base station attachment point mode or is operating in a peer to peer communications mode. Wireless terminals operating in a peer to peer mode, e.g., using a non-infrastructure band, suspends peer to peer communications during the paging intervals. The time periods, in which the wireless terminal checks pages are, in some embodiments, predetermined, so that both the wireless terminal and base station are synchronized on when a page should be delivered. This synchronization helps reduce the wastage of session time in the peer to peer sessions.

Abstract: A steering system having a pair of operating members operable independently of each other, wherein a target wheel-turning amount and a return force for returning each of the pair of operating members to its reference position are determined based on an amount of operation of each of the operating members. At least either a steering gain or a return-force gain is made changeable depending on various parameters. The steering gain is a gain that is set for each of the pair of operating members upon determination of the target wheel-turning amount, while the return-force gain is a gain that is set for each of the pair of operating members upon determination of the return force. According to the system, steering characteristics of the system can be set relatively freely. For example, where the steering gain is made changeable depending on an operating angle 8 of the operating member, the determination of the target wheel-turning amount can be made with a changeable degree of contribution of operation of each operating member to the determination, which is changeable depending on an operating position of the operating member.
