Title: Method and apparatus for sensing object located within visual field of imaging device
Inventor: ITO WATARU
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 1996-05-13
Abstract: An apparatus and a method is provided for sensing an object within an imaging field of an imaging device (121). The data of the reference background picture taken within the imaging field is stored in a storage unit (124). The data of the picture taken by the imaging device (121) is read. The data of the reference background picture is compared with the read picture data at each pixel so that the difference value between both of the data may be yielded. The difference value is compared with a predetermined threshold value at each pixel. Based on the compared result, binarization data about an image of the object is produced. Based on the binarization data, the object is sensed. Then, the data of the reference background picture stored in the storage unit (124) is properly updated with the new data. <IMAGE>

storage means (1c) which is diposed in the air
atmosphere separate from storage means (1a,1b) for
storing substrates (20) to be processed, and the inside
of the vacuum processing chamber is dry-cleaned by
generating a plasma. The dummy substrate (30) is
returned to the dummy substrate storage means (1c)
after dry cleaning is completed. Accordingly, no
specific mechanism for the cleaning is necessary and
the construction of the apparatus can be made simple.
Furthermore, the dummy substrates (30) used for dry
cleaning and the substrates (20) to be processed do not

Abstract: At a portion of an inclined main groove from a tread center to
an auxiliary groove of a pneumatic tire, an angle of inclination 1 of
a groove wall surface at a block step-in end side is set to be smaller
than an angle of inclination 2 of a groove wall surface at a block
kick-out end side. Therefore, rigidity of step-in ends of blocks
defined by inclined main grooves is lowered such that a striking
sound can be reduced. Further, at a portion of the inclined main
groove from the auxiliary groove to a tread end, an angle of
inclination 1 of a groove wall surface at a block step-in end side is
set to be greater than an angle of inclination 2 of a groove wall
surface at a block kick-out end side. Therefore, rigidity of kick-out
end sides of blocks defined by the inclined main grooves is
lowered. Heel-and-toe wear which occurs at the kick-out end sides
is suppressed, and an increase in pattern noise caused by heel-and-toe
wear is suppressed.
