To provide a easily fish counting device, a fish counting method, a fish count prediction device, a fish count prediction method, a fish counting system, and a fish count prediction system. The fish counting device of the present invention includes: a measurement image acquisition unit 11 configured to acquire, over time, a plurality of measurement images of a region to be measured in a passage region where a fluid containing fish passes through; a fish position acquisition unit 21 configured to acquire positions of the fish in the measurement images; a fish movement line calculation unit 22 configured to calculate movement line(s) of the fish as tracks of movements of the fish on the basis of the acquired positions; and a fish counting unit 23 configured to count the fish on the basis of the movement line(s) of the fish in the measurement images to obtain a fish count.

Apparatus and method for both displaying graphical output and for sensing, e.g., multi-touch input are provided. A light-emitting diode (“LED”) matrix-array may be configured to both emit and sense light. The array may be driven in such a way so as to enable the array itself to act as the illumination source preferable for either reflective or scattering optical touch sensing. The need for additional opto-electronic components, or an external illumination source, is thus eliminated or at least reduced. Additionally, the matrix-arrays have large dimensions.

Systems for determining motion characteristics of a sports object. In an embodiment, the system comprises a light grid structure and a processor. The light grid structure comprises a frame and light-source assemblies and photo-detector assemblies. Each of the light-source assemblies and photo-detector assemblies is mounted on the frame such that each light-source assembly is on an opposite side of the frame than a corresponding photo-detector assembly, and each light-source assembly emits a light beam which is detected by its corresponding photo-detector assembly. The processor receives data that is based on outputs of the photo-detector assemblies. The data indicates light beam(s) which have been interrupted. Based on the data, the processor determines motion characteristic(s) of an object which interrupted the light beam(s), including an angle of incidence.

A people flow analysis apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire positions of persons from each of a plurality of images captured by a plurality of image capturing devices, a counting unit configured to integrate the positions of the persons in each of the plurality of images and count the number of persons on a region-by-region basis, and a display unit configured to display on a map an image expression based on the number of persons counted on the region-by-region basis.

In a system and a method for detecting a number of articles in a placement region of a load carrier in an article storage, the load carrier is provisioned in an analysis region, and an image of the placement region of the load carrier is captured by an image capturing system and transmitted to a data processing unit, whereupon the image is evaluated by an algorithm for object recognition, in order to recognize the articles arranged in the placement region of the load carrier as objects and to ascertain the number of articles in the placement region of the load carrier.

System and methods for estimating the number of packages in a measurement zone to gauge package flow. A linear array of distance-measuring sensors measures the height profile of a mass of packages conveyed past. The profile is differentiated, and steps in the differentiated profile are counted to detect package edges and to produce an estimate of the number of packages in the measurement zone. The estimate can be used to adjust the speed of the conveyor to provide a constant package flow.
