By processing an image in which a plurality of articles (such as products) placed on a shelf are captured, an image processing unit () determines the article name (such as the product name) of each of the plurality of articles captured in the image. Determining an article name also includes determining identification information tied to the article name. When a specific condition is satisfied for an article the article name of which is indeterminable by the image processing unit () (hereinafter described as an undetermined article), an article inference unit () infers the article name of the undetermined article to be the article name of an article positioned adjacent to the undetermined article.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus () displays, on a display apparatus (), a first display () that represents a partial image () where an object contained therein was not recognized as a product. The information processing apparatus () receives input for selecting one or more first displays (). The information processing apparatus (), upon receiving a predetermined input from a user, ends receiving selection of a first display (). The information processing apparatus () stores, in a storage apparatus (), product identification information input to a product information input area () and feature information based on a partial image(s) () corresponding to a selected first display(s) in association with each other.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and program

An ingredient determining apparatus configured to determine nutritional ingredients in food provided for a user. The ingredient determining apparatus includes a processor configured to obtain a muscle index indicating a degree of muscle mass of the user and a fat index indicating a degree of fat mass of the user, and determine the nutritional ingredients based on the muscle index and the fat index.

Ingredient determining device, ingredient determining method and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

A information processing apparatus () includes a determination unit () and a deletion unit (). The determination unit () determines whether feature information to be determined satisfies a predetermined condition. When feature information to be determined is determined to satisfy the predetermined condition, the deletion unit () deletes the feature information to be determined from the storage apparatus ().

After a sample such as a biomedical tissue section is attached to an electrically-conductive slide glass (S), the film layer of a matrix substance is appropriately formed by vapor deposition so as to cover the sample (S). The crystal of the matrix substance in the film layer is very fine and uniform. Subsequently, the slide glass on which the matrix film layer is formed is placed in a vaporized solvent atmosphere, and the solvent infiltrates into the matrix film layer (S). When the solvent sufficiently infiltrated is vaporized, a substance to be measured in the sample takes in the matrix and re-crystallized. Furthermore, the matrix film layer is formed again on the surface by the vapor deposition (S). The added matrix film layer absorbs excessive energy of a laser beam during MALDI, which suppresses the denaturation of the substance to be measured and the like, so that high detection sensitivity can be achieved while high spatial resolution is maintained.
