Patent EP-1703436-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ISHII HIROTAKA
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2006-03-10
Abstract: An object of the present invention is to ensure that facial images can be recognized easily and accurately. A image pickup apparatus photographs the face of a user and outputs pixel values substantially proportionate to the logarithm of the amount of incident light. A difference image calculating unit calculates a difference image from the difference in pixel values between a first image in which the face of the user is photographed by the image pickup apparatus while a lighting apparatus does not illuminate the face of the user with light, and a second image in which the face of the user is photographed by the image pickup apparatus while the lighting apparatus does illuminate the face of the user with light. A facial area extracting unit extracts the areas of the face of the user in the difference image, and determines which way the user is facing, and a facial organ extracting unit extracts the organs of the face of the user. The present invention can be applied, for example, to an image processing apparatus that processes facial images.

Abstract: A detection apparatus includes a sample holding section, an irradiation means, a detection means, a calculation means, and an evaluation means. The irradiation means irradiates a substance held in the sample holding section with a THz wave. The detection unit detects a THz wave passed through or reflected from the substance. The calculation unit determines a frequency dependence of a property of the substance with respect to the irradiated THz wave and then calculates a slope of a straight line or a slope of a straight line obtained by straight-line approximation of the frequency dependence of the property of the substance. The evaluation unit evaluates the state change of the substance by comparing a previously-obtained slope of a straight line of the frequency dependence of the property of the substance in a standard state and the slope of the straight line of the substance calculated.

Abstract: An optical disc 100 using super-resolution effects that achieves higher-density recording exceeding the optical resolution suffers from the signal-quality degradation caused by the normal resolution component included in the reproduction signal 51. To address this problem, a data reproduction method is provided. In the method, characteristic error patterns are identified and parity check codes in conformity with run-length limited coding are used to carry out efficient and reliable error correction. Error patterns caused by the normal resolution crosstalk are localized in the leading edges of a mark following a long space and in the trailing edges of a long mark. Whether an error exists in the data is determined by use of the parity check codes. When an error occurs, a pattern in which an error is most likely to occur is selected from the above-mentioned patterns by taking account of the edge shift direction, and then the error therein is corrected.
