A position adjusting device (1) comprises an installation unit, a stage servo circuit (131), an acceleration sensor (14), a vibration processing unit (124), and a signal generating unit (12). A target object is installed on the installation unit. The stage servo circuit (131) drives the installation unit to change the position of the target object. The acceleration sensor (14) detects vibrations of the target object. The vibration processing unit (124) detects a period of the vibrations on the basis of a detection signal from the acceleration sensor (14). In visual feedback control for moving the target object to a target position, the signal generating unit (12) acquires captured images, at an acquisition timing based on the period of the vibrations, from a camera (11) for imaging the target object, generates control signals for moving the target object to the target position, from each acquired captured image, and successively outputs the generated control signals to a drive unit.

Abstract

A server device acquires profile information (setting information) on user's needs regarding battery replacement from a user terminal, and analyzes historical information on battery replacement at each station to generate an unavailability index representing a degree of unavailability of battery lease. When a specific event occurs (i.e., information on a suitable battery station or an alert of battery replacement necessity is provided), a user terminal displays a notification screen (station screen or alert screen) for notification of the event, generated by the server device based on profile information and an unavailability index.

Abstract

An input interface acquires a first distance image including a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels indicating a distance value from an image capture device to each point of an object. An image divider divides the first distance image into a plurality of pixel groups based on the distance values of the pixels, such that each of the plurality of pixel groups includes pixels having distance values falling within one of a plurality of distance intervals different from each other. A noise filter individually processes the plurality of pixel groups using a plurality of filter parameters different for the plurality of pixel groups, to reduce noises in the plurality of pixel groups. An image combiner combines the plurality of pixel groups processed by the noise filter, with each other, to generate a second distance image.
