    摘要: In order to provided information for helping a viewing user remember the contents of past viewing of a video program, in an easy-to-comprehend form and in as small an information amount as possible, a video terminal device capable of controlling video playback by a controller stores a position of the video program at which it was interrupted by the user. The interrupted position is stored in a video library of a video server. Images representative of a portion from the start or another position of the interrupted video program up to the interrupted position are extracted by a video digest making program. The extracted representative images are represented by a list display based on reduced icons or a digest image. The list or the digest image is displayed before resuming the interrupted video program.

    摘要: The present invention provides a thin personal identification device that produces a high-quality image. The personal identification device includes an infrared light source 30; a transmission light quantity control element array 40, which includes a plurality of light transmission control elements for exercising control to transmit or block light that is radiated from the infrared light source 30 to a living body; and a light receiving element array 50H, which includes a plurality of light receiving elements for receiving light that is radiated from the living body. The infrared light source 30, transmission light quantity control element array 40, and light receiving element array 50H are positioned on the same side of the living body. A microcomputer 20 controls the transmission light quantity control element array 40 to combine a first image, which is obtained from the living body when one region of the living body is radiated with light transmitted from the infrared light source 30, with a second image, which is obtained when another region of the living body is radiated, and identifies a person in accordance with the combined image.

    摘要: This invention relates to an associated video retrieving method and a method therefor which enable a user to freely and easily make associated video retrieval. Video display apparatus having a video display region for visualizing video, an index display region for displaying index information of the videos, point detection unit for detecting a point position for these display regions, object management unit for registering in advance matters or sound in an animation appearing in the video, and control unit for determining a condition of the video to be next playbacked from point information obtained by the point detection unit and from logical structure description of the video separately built up, are provided. Even when a desired scene cannot be specified from the index information, a scene in which any hints relating to the desired scene is found out and associated video retrieval is effected on the basis of such a scene so as to finally obtain the desired scene. Versatile video retrieval can be made by unitedly using each display.

    摘要: A video picture access system and computer implemented program in which a command is inputted, a list of time-serial representative images of scenes included in a video picture is displayed, and the list is scrolled by displaying a new representative image instead of the representative image of the representative image already displayed earlier when a total number of the time-serial representative images exceed a maximum number of representative images which can be displayed on a display screen. The representative image which is newly added for display is a representative image of a scene distanced for a given time in conformance to the command which is inputted.

    摘要: An economical surveillance apparatus robust to an environmental change includes an input unit for inputting images in a time series, a background image memory unit for storing a plurality of input images, a difference image memory unit for calculating and storing difference degree between a plurality of background images of the background image memory unit and an image inputted afresh, and a judging unit for judging an existence/absence of an invading object by utilizing the value of the difference degree of the difference image memory unit. This surveillance apparatus can automatically register a plurality of background images from a camera image. Since the background images that are no longer used are automatically erased, the drop of detection speed and detection sensitivity can be prevented.
