An object detection method that is provided with a step for extracting a plurality of reference feature vectors related to a local area from an image representing an object, and extracting a plurality of query feature vectors related to the local area from a search query image; a step for matching each query feature vector against each reference feature vector, and calculating a similarity score having a value that is higher the closer the distance between both vectors, the larger the local area for which the query feature vector has been extracted, and the larger the local area for which a matching reference feature vector has been extracted; a step for determining a reference feature vector for which a similarity score is highest as the similar vector for each query feature vector; and a step for acquiring a final score by object associated with the similar vectors, and setting the object returning the highest score as the detection result; and wherein the score is calculated by dividing a sum of the similarity score for each similar vector by the number of feature vectors that have matched the object.
Abstract:
At least one surface of a plate member made of ZnSe has a concave-and-convex structure in which a projecting section and a groove section are formed at a spatial cycle equal to or lower than the wavelength of carbon dioxide laser light to thereby provide a substrate body. On a surface of the concave-and-convex structure, an antireflection film is layered that has a lower refractive index than that of ZnSe to carbon dioxide laser light. By this configuration, the polarization state of transmitted carbon dioxide laser light is converted from a linear polarization to a circular polarization or the like.
Abstract:
A method of treating exhaust gas, comprising the step of causing adsorbent (5) to adsorb treatment subject components contained in exhaust gas, the step of causing nitrogen gas of 90 vol.% or higher purity wherein the oxygen concentration is 10 vol.% or less to flow through the adsorbent (5) and the step (6,7,8) of applying non-thermal plasma to the adsorbent (5), wherein after the adsorption of treatment subject components contained in exhaust gas on the adsorbent (5), there are conducted the flow of nitrogen gas through the adsorbent (5) so as to realize electric discharge and the application of non-thermal plasma of nitrogen gas to the adsorbent to thereby carry out desorption of the treatment subject components and regeneration of the adsorbent. Thus, removal of treatment subject components existing in exhaust gas containing oxygen is effectively carried out by ionizing nitrogen gas into plasma to thereby achieve an activity increase and by with effectively utilizing this property, effecting a combination of adsorption, desorption by plasma whose main component is nitrogen and nitrogen plasma treatment.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for constructing an image database for object recognition, which includes a feature extraction step of extracting local descriptors from object images which are to be stored in an image database, a scalar quantization step of quantizing a numeric value indicating each dimension of each of the local descriptors into a predetermined number of bit digits, and a storing step of organizing each of the local descriptors after the quantization to be able to be searched for in the closest vicinity, giving to the local descriptor an identifier of the image from which the local descriptor has been extracted, and storing the local descriptor to which the identifiers are given in the image database. The storing step comprises extracting the local descriptors from the object images when a search query is given, scalar-quantizing each dimension, determining a local descriptor in the closest vicinity of each of the local descriptors from the image database, and storing each local descriptors so as to be able to identify one image by majority vote processing from the images including any determined local descriptor. The scalar quantization step comprises quantizing each dimension of each of the local descriptors into 8 bits or less. Also provided are a processing program for the method and a processing device for performing the processing.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a method for producing aglycone from a glycoside efficiently at low cost without using an acid catalyst or an organic solvent. The method for producing aglycone, characterized by bringing a glycoside into contact with high temperature high pressure water. The temperature of the high temperature high pressure water is generally from 100 to 374°C, preferably from 140 to 320°C, more preferably from 200 to 300°C. The pressure of the high temperature high pressure water may be not lower than the saturated water vapor pressure at the temperature, i.e., a pressure at which the liquid state is maintained.
