Abstract

A calculation device includes a prediction unit, a selection unit, an update unit, a repetitive control unit, and an output unit. The prediction unit performs, for each weight-pattern, predicting the amount of increase in Pareto hypervolume by using a corresponding weight-pattern. The selection unit performs selecting a maximum weight-pattern with the largest amount of increase. The update unit performs updating a candidate solution set by acquiring, from a solver device, multiple solutions in a problem of minimizing a composite objective function being a linear weighted sum of multiple objective functions and multiple weight coefficients represented by the maximum weight-pattern, and adding the acquired multiple solutions to the candidate solution set. The repetitive control unit performs repeating the prediction, the selection, and the update. The output unit outputs a set including a non-inferior solution in the candidate solution set as an approximate Pareto solution set.

Abstract

This invention prevents erroneous identification of an image, even when there are many similar images. In the information processing system of one embodiment, a first identification unit calculates a first feature amount degree of similarity between: feature amounts linked respectively to one or more registered images; and a feature amount extracted from a query image. At least in a case where identification was deferred by the first identification unit, a second identification unit: calculates a character information degree of similarity by collating character information extracted from the query image and character information linked respectively to the one or more registered images; and either identifies the query image or rejects identification on the basis of the character information degree of similarity. The first identification unit: calculates a second feature amount degree of similarity between the feature amount of a first candidate registered image having the highest first feature amount degree of similarity, and the feature amount of at least one registered image other than the first candidate registered image; and confirms identification of the query image to be the first candidate registered image if the difference or the ratio between the first feature amount degree of similarity and the second feature amount degree of similarity is greater than an identification confirmation threshold value.

Abstract

A 0-1 combinatorial-optimization-problem is solved under constraint-conditions expressed using inequality expressions. A solution-finding device includes an updating-unit and an output-unit. For each of plural elements associated with first- and second-variables, the updating-unit sequentially updates, for each unit-time between initial-timing and end-timing, the first-variable and the second-variable alternatively. The output-unit outputs the solution of the 0-1 combinatorial-optimization-problem based on the first-variable of each of the plural elements at the end-timing. During the updating operation for each unit-time, for each of one or more constraint-conditions, when the inequality expression in which the first-variable corresponding to each of the plural discrete variables is substituted is unsatisfied; the updating-unit subtracts, from the second-variable of each of the plural elements, a correction value corresponding to the component of the element corresponding to the distance from the boundary of the inequality expression to positions identified by the plural elements.

Abstract

A communication system broadcasts utterance voice data of one of users to mobile communication terminals carried by respective users. Responsive to pressing an utterance button during a group calling communication mode in which a reception channel is established for utterance voice data transmitted from a server, the mobile communication terminal establishes a transmission channel transmitting utterance voice data to the server independently of the established reception channel, transmits utterance voice data from that mobile communication terminal, and receives utterance voice data within the communication group simultaneously. The mobile communication terminal stores a simultaneous connection upper limit in full-duplex transmission and a full-duplex transmission log including simultaneously connecting users and number of simultaneously connecting users. Limited full-duplex transmission control is performed on each terminal not permitting establishment of the transmission channel to the server based on the full-duplex transmission log and simultaneous connection upper limit.

Abstract

A character recognition device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an image acquisition unit, a character score calculation unit, a strikethrough score calculation unit, a correction unit, and a decoding unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an image in which a character is written. The character score calculation unit calculates, for a frame obtained as a result of the image acquired by the image acquisition unit being divided in a prescribed direction, a character class score that expresses the likeness to a to-be-recognized character class. The strikethrough score calculation unit calculates, for a frame, a strikethrough score that expresses the likeness to a strikethrough character. The correction unit corrects the character class score such that, as the strikethrough score of a frame becomes higher, the character class score becomes relatively smaller. The decoding unit estimates a plausible recognition result on the basis of the character class score for each frame after correction.

Abstract

A simulator abnormality determination system according to an embodiment of the present invention determines an abnormality of each simulator by using a controller that executes processing of synchronizing one or a plurality of simulators with one another. The controller causes each simulator to: start simulation processing to be executed in a specific period; transmit, to the controller in specific cycles, a keep-alive notification indicating that the simulator is alive until the simulator completes the simulation processing; and transmit, to the controller, a completion notification indicating completion of the processing when the processing is complete. The controller determines that a simulator that has transmitted a keep-alive notification is normal when receiving the keep-alive notification in specific cycles, determines that a simulator that has transmitted a completion notification has completed the processing when receiving the completion notification, or determines that a simulator not determined to have completed the processing is abnormal when a keep-alive notification is not transmitted from the simulator in specific cycles.

Abstract

[Problem] To implement water quality monitoring in a non-contact manner using captured images from a monitoring camera, and to detect water quality abnormalities accurately by suppressing the effects of a change of state of a monitoring target. [Solution] A water quality monitoring system according to an embodiment includes: a water quality abnormality detecting unit which uses an object detection model to recognize a water surface region from a captured image of a water quality monitoring target output from a monitoring camera, and determines a water quality abnormality based on a condition of the recognized water surface region; and a monitoring result output unit for outputting a monitoring result. As a result, water quality monitoring can be implemented in a non-contact manner, and water quality abnormalities can be detected accurately even if there is an effect due to a change of state (variation in water level, variation in angle of view of monitoring camera, variation in orientation of camera, etc.) of the monitoring target.

Abstract

An information processing device of an embodiment includes a feature quantity acquiring unit, a range estimating unit, an associating unit, an integrating unit, and an output unit. The feature quantity acquiring unit acquires a feature quantity extracted from data consisting of a plurality of values. The range estimating unit estimates a range of the data in which an element to which a predetermined label is to be assigned may be present from the acquired feature quantity. The associating unit associates each label with at least one of a plurality of feature quantities. The integrating unit performs integration processing of integrating one or more ranges of the data estimated from each of one or more feature quantities that are associated with the label into one range of the data. The output unit outputs a correspondence relationship between the label and the range of the data that has been subjected to the integration processing.
