A road abnormality detection apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor having hardware, wherein the processor is configured to: receive, from a traveling vehicle, a road image indicating an image of a surface of a road or a periphery of the road and image capturing position information indicating a position where the road image is captured; recognize a road facility included in the road image and a position of the road facility based on the road image and the image capturing position information; determine whether or not abnormality exists in the road facility by comparing the road facility included in the road image and correctness information that is prepared in advance; and accumulate, in the memory, facility position information indicating the position of the road facility that the abnormality exists in when it is determined that the abnormality exists in the road facility.

Image display system, image display method, and recording medium

An image display system includes a first processor, a second processor, and a comparator. The first processor acquires a behavior estimation result of a vehicle, and generates future position information after a predetermined time passes of the vehicle based on the behavior estimation result. The second processor acquires present information about the vehicle, and generates present position information on the vehicle and a peripheral object based on the acquired information. The comparator compares the future position information on the vehicle and the present position information on the vehicle and the peripheral object, and generates present image data indicating present positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object and future image data indicating future positions of the vehicle and the peripheral object. Further, the comparator allows a notification device to display a present image based on the present image data and a future image based on the future image data together.

20200314316 · 2020-10-01 ·

An imaging system for a vehicle for obtaining an anti-flickering super-resolution image includes an image sensor adapted to obtain a sequence of images, and an image processor adapted to receive the sequence of images, compare image information of a most recent image of the sequence of images to a reference image to detect at least one image region of mismatch in the most recent image, remove the detected image region from image information of the most recent image to obtain adjusted image information, and add the adjusted image information of the most recent image to a super-resolution image.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus capable of assisting safe driving of a vehicle at a place such as an intersection where the view from the vehicle is obstructed or restricted is provided. On the basis of image information representing an image captured by an image capturing apparatus mounted in a vehicle, a detection processing unit detects a traffic mirror in the image and an object in the traffic mirror. And a calculating unit calculates a position of the object in the detected traffic mirror. Driving assist information is generated on the basis of the calculated position of the object in the traffic mirror, and the generated driving assist information is output.

INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, PROGRAM, AND CONTROL METHOD

A vehicle captures an identification mark with an external camera, the identification mark being associated with content provided by a service provider; acquires the content associated with the captured identification mark; outputs the acquired content to the occupant in a cabin of the vehicle; acquires payment information based on the output content; and acquires information on the occupant in the cabin. A server identifies the occupant based on the information on the occupant, acquired by the vehicle; and transmits information on payment processing including the payment information, acquired from the vehicle, to the information processing terminal held by the identified occupant. The information processing terminal displays the information on the payment processing acquired from the server.

INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, PROGRAM, AND CONTROL METHOD

A vehicle is configured to image, with an outside camera, an identification mark associated with a content provided by a service provider, output the content associated with the imaged identification mark to an occupant in a cabin of the vehicle, acquire operation information on the occupant relating to the output content, and acquire information regarding the occupant when the occupant performs operation relating to the content in the vehicle cabin. An information processing apparatus is configured to, when determining that the output content is not selected by the occupant based on the operation information on the occupant, determine whether or not to update the content that is not selected, based on the information regarding the occupant.

PAVER HAVING ELEVATION PROFILE MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND METHODS FOR OPERATION THEREOF

The invention relates to a paver, in particular a slipform paver, having a machine frame 1 supported by front and rear undercarriages 2 and 3 and a paving device 6 for the paving of material. The invention relates additionally to a method of operating such a paver. The paver is provided with an apron monitoring device 13 configured to generate elevation profile data or elevation profile signals describing the elevation profile of the material deposited in the apron of the paving device 6 in a direction transverse to the working direction X. In addition, the paver has a data or signal processing device 16 receiving the elevation profile data or elevation profile signals. The apron monitoring device 13 provides the data needed to allow the material to be spread more evenly across the working width of the paver during the feeding operation by means of a spreading device for spreading the material to be paved in a direction transverse to the working direction X and/or to allow the spreading device to be controlled for improved spreading of the material after the paver has been fed.

Captured image display system, electronic mirror system, and captured image display method

When it is possible to capture a plurality of light sources as images of a plurality of separated light sources with a gain within a range for each of the ranges of mutually different gains, images captured with the maximum gains among the gains that enables the capturing as the images of the plurality of light sources, that is, images captured to be the brightest is generated as use images (a, b, and c). Then, an image d, obtained by combining only the use images (a and b) in which the plurality of light sources is successfully captured as the images of the plurality of separated light sources among the generated use images, is displayed on a display.
