An image processing device () is for extracting pixels of a specific color from an image to be processed, and includes: a pixel information extraction unit () that extracts values of luminance, first chrominance, and second chrominance of pixels composing the image on a pixel-by-pixel basis; a calculation processing unit () that calculates, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, a distance from a point defined by the extracted values to a preset reference plane in a space in which the luminance, the first chrominance, and the second chrominance are set along axes that are perpendicular to one another; and a converted image generation unit () that generates an image in which pixels satisfying the following condition are emphasized: the distance calculated by the calculation processing unit () is larger than or equal to a threshold.

Image processing device, image processing method, and computer-readable recording medium

A parking assistance device includes: a ground object detection unit configured to, in a predetermined detection region set in advance in at least a portion of the vehicle periphery, perform detection of a ground object defining a parking stall in which garage parking is to be performed; an end portion specification unit configured to specify an end portion of the ground object detected by the ground object detection unit, the end portion being located on an entrance side of the parking stall; and a target parking stall setting unit configured to set, based on the end portion on the entrance side specified by the end portion specification unit, a corner portion of a rectangular parking frame that defines a target parking stall in which the vehicle is to be parked, and set the parking frame to extend from the corner portion in the depth direction of the parking stall.

Parking assistance device

Provided is a parking assistance device capable of setting a parking target position without placing a burden on a driver. The parking assistance device includes: a ground object detection unit configured to detect a ground object that defines a parking stall in a predetermined detection region set in advance on a lateral side of a vehicle; a parking stall calculation unit configured to, based on the ground object detected by the ground object detection unit, calculate a parking stall that exists in the detection region; and a target parking stall setting unit configured to, among the parking stalls calculated by the parking stall calculation unit, sets a parking stall in a width direction of the vehicle in a view from a driver's seat of the vehicle as a target parking stall.

A parking assist apparatus includes a detection portion detecting a parking target position from a captured image captured by an imager or from distance information measured by a distance measuring portion, a setting portion setting the detected parking target position as a target of the parking assist, a moving amount calculation portion calculating a moving amount of the vehicle, the moving amount being calculated before the parking target position is set as the target of the parking assist, a correction portion correcting the parking target position on the basis of the calculated moving amount, and a display portion displaying a surrounding image which represents an external environment around the vehicle and a parking region image which indicates the parking-possible region at the parking target position corrected by the correction portion in a manner that the surrounding image and the parking region image are superimposed on each other.

Parking assist apparatus, parking assist method and program thereof

A heating system for liquefied gas fuel supply apparatus is applied to a liquefied gas fuel supply apparatus that causes a vaporizer to vaporize liquefied gas fuel and supplies the vaporized fuel to an internal combustion engine, the heating system including a circulation circuit and a heat insulating container. The circulation circuit circulates a heating medium between the vaporizer and an inside of the internal combustion engine. And, the heat insulating container stores the heating medium. In this case, the heat insulating container is disposed in the circulation circuit.

Heating system for liquefied gas fuel supply apparatus and fuel supply appartus for liquefied gas engine

A heating apparatus for a liquefied gas fuel supply system includes a heating unit, a detecting unit and a setting unit. The liquefied gas fuel supply system vaporizes liquefied gas fuel to supply the vaporized gas fuel to an internal-combustion engine. The heating unit heats the liquefied gas fuel before the liquefied gas fuel is vaporized. The detecting unit detects vapor pressure characteristic of the liquefied gas fuel. The setting unit sets an amount of heat to be applied to the liquefied gas fuel on a basis of a detection result by the detecting unit.

Heating apparatus for liquefied gas fuel supply system

A carburetor including an inner vent communicating with an air intake of the carburetor, an outer vent communicating with an evaporated fuel gas absorbing charcoal cannister and a float chamber. The carburetor is characterized by a connecting portion for directly connecting the inner vent and the outer vent without passing through the float chamber and an opening in the connecting portion connecting the inner and outer vents to the float chamber.

Carburetor

Disclosed is a fuel supply installation for internal combustion engines, in which fluid fuel is atomized by ultrasonic vibration and which includes a fuel atomization pail provided under the bottom wall of an intake air passage and which is open to the passage. The fuel atomization pail has an ultrasonic element which is energized by high frequency electric power. The fluid fuel in the atomization pail is atomized by ultrasonic vibration of the element and is mixed with the suction air in the intake passage.

Fuel supply installation for internal combustion engines

There is disclosed a system for controlling vaporized hydrocarbon of fuel for a gasoline engine wherein the vaporized hydrocarbon is led from a carburetor float chamber to a canister through a pipe in which a chamber for separating fuel and vapor is provided.
