    摘要: A registration means for storing an image of a product as a registration image in association with information representing the passing sequence that the product passed through an upstream side process; a management means for managing the matching sequence in a downstream side process; and a matching means for performing matching between an image of a product carried into the downstream side process and the registration image according to the matching sequence, are included. Each time the matching means succeeds in matching, the management means updates the matching sequence to sequence in which registration images not having succeeded in matching with any matching image are put in order on the basis of the passing sequence that the products passed through the upstream side process.

    摘要: An image matching apparatus matching a first image against a second image includes an acquiring unit, a generating unit, and a determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires a frequency feature of the first image and a frequency feature of the second image. The generating unit synthesizes the frequency feature of the first image and the frequency feature of the second image, and generates a quantized synthesized frequency feature in which a value of an element is represented by a binary value or a ternary value. The determining unit calculates a score indicating a degree to which the quantized synthesized frequency feature is a square wave having a single period, and matches the first image against the second image based on the score.

    摘要: An individual identification system includes an acquiring means and a determining means. The acquiring means is configured to acquire a matched image obtained by shooting part of a predetermined region of a matching target object. The determining means is configured to calculate a score representing a degree to which a partial image similar to the matched image exists in a registration image obtained by shooting a predetermined region of a registration target object, and determine based on the score whether or not the matching target object is identical to the registration target object.

    摘要: An image capturing device, configured to illuminate an object by an illumination means and capture reflected light from the object as a reflection image by a capturing means, includes an irradiation angle range determination means. The irradiation angle range determination means determines, assuming that a group of pieces of unevenness existing at the same position on the surfaces of a plurality of individuals of an object is an unevenness group, an irradiation angle range for irradiating the object by the illumination means, on the basis of a statistic value of the inclination angles of the unevenness group in which variations in the inclination angles of the unevenness between individuals is larger than other unevenness groups, among the plurality of unevenness groups.
