A system for optical wash item recognition for commercial dishwashers embodied as conveyor dishwashers or as automatic programme dishwashers, in particular hood dishwashers, wherein the system includes an optical recognition system, especially a camera, for recording at least one two-dimensional image of at least some of the wash items to be treated in the dishwasher. The system also includes an analysis device for analysing at least one recorded image in such a way that individual wash items or groups of individual wash items in the recorded image are located and classified. At least one neural network is used to analyse the at least one recorded image.

An object detection apparatus includes a first camera unit, a second camera unit, and a control unit. The first camera unit includes one or more cameras, and is configured to capture an image around a vehicle. The second camera unit includes one or more cameras, and is configured to capture an image of an area ahead of the vehicle. The control unit is configured to: determine a displacement of a feature point positioned in a common area from the image acquired via the first camera unit; determine a pixel displacement of the feature point in the image acquired via the second camera unit; and determine distance information to an object recognized in the image captured via the second camera unit based on the displacement of the feature point and the pixel displacement of the feature point.

Various embodiments relate to sensing defects associated with a window. Furthermore, various embodiments relate to performing image processing to produce a corrected image of a scene based at least partly on data corresponding to the detected defects. In some examples, one or more lighting modules may be used to illuminate the window to facilitate detection of the defects by one or more sensor devices.

A system for treating plants for use in agriculture, comprising a spray boom provided with a plurality of spray nozzles supplied by a spray control device, the apparatus comprising a set of cameras capable of capturing images of a crop area, a digital processing device capable of analyzing the images captured by the camera, identifying plants to be treated and sending commands to the spray control device with a view to selectively spraying a product on plants to be treated, the apparatus also comprising an arrangement for lighting the crop area captured by the cameras.

According to the invention, the lighting arrangement comprises a plurality of projectors distributed along the boom and having fields of illumination such that each point of a scene captured by a camera receives light from at least two projectors in at least two different orientations in a plane passing through the point and the projectors in question.

Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for detecting spoofing of a 3D object, using a 2D representation, in a mobile object authentication process, comprising capturing image data of the 3D object by a front-facing camera, to record a current spatial characteristic of the 3D object, while a front-facing screen displays an authentication pattern comprising a plurality of regions, wherein at least one of the regions varies in at least one of: brightness, position, size, shape, and color over time causing a variance of lighting effects which create highlights and shadows on the 3D object over time. The devices, systems, and methods thereby provide an efficient and secure process for determining if spoofing of the 3D object, using a 2D representation, is attempted in a mobile authentication process, by comparing the current spatial characteristic of the 3D object with a stored reference spatial characteristic of the 3D object.

This aircraft inspection support device (100) is provided with a three-dimensional model generation unit (25a), an inspection position acquisition unit (25b), and a control unit (25) configured to perform control to acquire an inspection result (50) of an inspection target (40) and cause the three-dimensional model position (55) on the three-dimensional model (52) corresponding to the inspection position (53), an inspection position (53), and an inspection result (50) to be stored in association with each other.

The present invention relates to an information processing device used in an image capture device that illuminates an object with an illuminating unit and images light reflected from the object as a reflection image with an imaging unit. The information processing device includes an irradiation angle determining unit configured to determine an irradiation angle when the illuminating unit illuminates the object based on a tilt statistic that is a value corresponding to tilt distribution of irregularities formed on the surface of the object.
