A medicine inspection device, an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program are provided that appropriately extract identification information even when the positional relationship between a printed character and an engraved mark added to a medicine is not constant. The above problem is solved by an image processing device that performs a process of enhancing a printed character portion of a medicine based on at least one image taken with a surface of the medicine being irradiated with light to generate a printed-character-enhanced image, performs a process of extracting only an engraved mark portion from a three-dimensional shape of the medicine based on at least three images taken with illumination directions of the light to the surface of the medicine different from each other to generate an engraved-mark-extracted image, and generates a difference image between the printed-character-enhanced image and the engraved-mark-extracted image.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an illumination source that emits non-visible light that illuminates at least a portion of a driver of the vehicle, a reflector disposed at the vehicle and within a line of sight of the illuminated portion of the driver, a camera disposed in the vehicle and having a field of view that encompasses the reflector, and a control having an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The reflector reflects at least some non-visible light and allows visible light to pass through. The camera captures image data representative of the non-visible light emitted by the illumination source that reflects off the illuminated portion of the driver of the vehicle and reflects off the reflector so as to be directed toward the camera. The control, responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, monitors the illuminated portion of the driver.

An inspection apparatus includes a specimen stage, one or more imaging devices and a set of lights, all controllable by a control system. By translating or rotating the one or more imaging devices or specimen stage, the inspection apparatus can capture a first image of the specimen that includes a first imaging artifact to a first side of a reference point and then capture a second image of the specimen that includes a second imaging artifact to a second side of the reference point. The first and second imaging artifacts can be cropped from the first image and the second image respectively, and the first image and the second image can be digitally stitched together to generate a composite image of the specimen that lacks the first and second imaging artifacts.

Hand biometric systems and methods use digital fingerprints generated from images of at least a portion of hand. These systems and methods may perform various digital fingerprint related processes including induction (acquiring of the hand biometric data, generation of a digital fingerprint and storing in a database) and authentication (a process of using the digital fingerprint of the hand to perform biometrics which are known processes that may be performed using digital fingerprints, and may even be control anonymous access to controlled areas or vehicle. The hand biometric system and method combines these processes with a particular set of hardware to perform the hand biometrics process that is novel and provides benefits and capabilities not achievable by other existing biometric systems and methods.

A public area defense system, comprising a non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, an optical subsystem operably coupled to and in communication with the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, and an acoustic subsystem operably coupled to and in communication with the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem. The public area defense system may further comprise a computer system in communication with each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem, wherein each of the non-lethal reactive deterrence defense subsystem, the optical subsystem, and the acoustic subsystem are operable to interact with an actor

A system evaluates a point of gaze of a user on an object and includes at least one eye tracker camera and at least one positioning camera. The eye tracker camera and the positioning camera are arranged in fixed positions relative to each other. A light source provides corneal reflection from at least one of a user's eyes. A computer and an object is provided. Geometrical data of the object enables determination of the position of at least one screen in a first 3D coordinate system. The computer is configured to determine a gaze line of the user relative to a second 3D coordinate system; the position of the screen relative to a third 3D coordinate system; a gaze point calculated as the intersection of the gaze line with the surface of the screen in a fourth 3D coordinate system; and the location of the gaze point on the screen.

A system and method for isolating and analyzing single cells, including: a substrate having a broad surface; a set of wells defined at the broad surface of the substrate, and a set of channels, defined by the wall, that fluidly couple each well to at least one adjacent well in the set of wells; and fluid delivery module defining an inlet and comprising a plate, removably coupled to the substrate, the plate defining a recessed region fluidly connected to the inlet and facing the broad surface of the substrate, the fluid delivery module comprising a cell capture mode.
