Latest Patents

Yoshiro Murata holds 2 patents that showcase his expertise in image processing. His latest patents include an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, an image processing program, and a recording medium that records the image processing program. These inventions aim to provide an image processing apparatus that enables the association of a standard image to a reference image using a reduced number of pixels, without compromising the accuracy of detecting movement in a detection subject. The detection subject region setting unit captures a picked-up image at a first time point as a standard image and selects multiple correlation windows that include the detection subject's image region. The movement detection unit then captures a reference image at a different time point and detects movement by calculating the position of the standard point that minimizes the difference in pixel values between the standard and reference images.

Another notable patent involves a pattern light irradiation device and a three-dimensional shape measuring device. This invention includes a light irradiation device that projects a patterned light onto a physical object. It consists of a pattern forming plate with multiple openings, a light irradiation unit, and a projection lens that condenses the light and guides it to the object. The projection lens is designed so that the image of the pattern forming plate is not focused onto the object but is projected as a sinusoidal wave pattern.
