PHYSICAL PROPERTY MAP IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161354 titled 'PHYSICAL PROPERTY MAP IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that generates a physical property map image based on physical property information of different materials. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- The apparatus acquires physical property information for each pattern of a material.
- It generates a self-organizing map and a physical property map image based on the acquired information.
- Each node on the self-organizing map is assigned a position in a map space and a physical property vector indicating a value related to a physical property quantity for each type of physical properties of the product.
- The physical property map image represents each node with a color assigned to that node, with the color components determined based on the physical property vector.
- Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in material science, product development, and quality control processes.
- Problems Solved
This technology helps in visualizing and analyzing physical property information of different materials in a more intuitive and efficient manner.
- Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
a physical property map image generation apparatus performs: acquiring, for each pattern of a material, physical property information indicating a physical property quantity for each physical property of a product; and generating a self-organizing map and a physical property map image. a position in a map space and a physical property vector indicating a value related to a physical property quantity for each type of physical properties of the product are assigned to each node on the self-organizing map. on the physical property map image , each of the nodes arranged in the map space is represented by a color assigned to that node. for each node, each of two or three base color components of a color assigned to the node is determined based on a value that a physical property vector assigned to that node indicates for a physical property corresponding to that base color.
