An object identification system includes a camera and a processing device. The processing device includes a classifier subjected to machine learning based on the output image of the camera so as to allow it to identify an object. A gating camera divides a field of view in the depth direction into multiple ranges, and captures an image while changing the time difference between light projection and exposure for each range. The classifier is subjected to machine learning using multiple images IMGthrough IMGgenerated by the gating camera as the learning data.

Object identification system

A gated camera for dividing a field of view into a plurality of ranges in a depth direction and generating a plurality of slice images corresponding to the plurality of ranges, the gated camera includes: an illumination device configured to irradiate the field of view with pulse illumination light; an image sensor; a camera controller configured to control a light emission timing of the illumination device and an exposure timing of the image sensor; and an arithmetic processing device configured to process image data generated by the image sensor. The arithmetic processing device is configured to acquire information on weather based on the image data obtained for a predetermined range in a weather detection mode.

Vehicle-mounted sensing system and gated camera

A gated camera for dividing a field of view into a plurality of ranges in a depth direction and generating a plurality of slice images corresponding to the plurality of ranges, the gated camera includes: an illumination device configured to irradiate the field of view with pulse illumination light; an image sensor; and a camera controller configured to control a light emission timing of the illumination device and an exposure timing of the image sensor. The camera controller is configured to switch between a first imaging mode in which performance is relatively high and power consumption is relatively high, and a second imaging mode in which performance is relatively low and power consumption is relatively low.

A gating camera divides a field of view in a depth direction into multiple ranges, and generates multiple slice images that correspond to the multiple ranges. An illumination apparatus emits probe light. A controller controls a timing of emission of the probe light Lby the illumination apparatus and a timing of image capture by a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The controller controls the first image sensor and the second image sensor such that they receive reflected light from different respective ranges in response to one emission of the probe light from the illumination apparatus.

Gating camera

According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory having a first writing area and a second writing area, and a controller, in which the controller confirms whether processing of preserving data which has been written before shutdown which is not going through a predetermined shutdown procedure is being executed, in the nonvolatile memory, when the controller receives a write command, causes the nonvolatile memory to write data to the first writing area if the processing is not being executed, and causes the nonvolatile memory to write data to the second writing area if the processing is being executed.
