Abstract:
A sensor apparatus includes an irradiation system with a light source configured to emit linearly polarized light of a first polarization direction onto a sheet-like object, in a direction oblique to a direction orthogonal to a surface of the object, a first photodetector arranged on an optical path of light that is emitted from the irradiation system and then is reflected at the object by regular reflection, a first optical element, arranged on an optical path of light reflected by diffuse reflection from an incidence plane of the object, configured to transmit linearly polarized light of a second polarization direction that is orthogonal to the first polarization direction, a second photodetector configured to receive light that has passed through the first optical element, and a detection unit configured to detect at least one of basis weight and thickness of the object.
Abstract:
An information analysis apparatus includes a feature quantity calculation unit and an output unit. The feature quantity calculation unit is configured to calculate a feature quantity on a biological body of a single subject or a group of a plurality of subjects, from data groups acquired under N acquisition conditions (k) where N is equal to or larger than three. The output unit is configured to output the feature quantity. The feature quantity is represented by Expression (1) below using numbers of acquisitions (nk), average values ( ), unbiased variances (Sk2), and contribution ratios (wk) under the acquisition conditions (k). t = w 1 〈 X 1 〉 + w 2 〈 X 2 〉 + w 3 〈 X 3 〉 + … + w N 〈 X N 〉 w 1 2 × S 1 2 n 1 + w 2 2 × S 2 2 n 2 + w 3 2 × S 3 2 n 3 + … + w N 2 × S N 2 n N ( 1 )
