A virtual space including a plurality of different data is generated on the basis of a tree structure including, as construction elements, shape data, light space data, and the like, change processing such as addition, deletion, replacement, and the like of the construction element is done for the tree structure as a basis of the generated virtual environment, and the virtual environment is regenerated. The change processing can be done more efficiently for the virtual environment made up of various kinds of data.

An image recording apparatus uses a plurality of cameras point in a plurality of discrete azimuth directions so as to realize a walkthrough space. The apparatus stores, in video tapes, data frames of images generated by sequentially sensing an environment and time codes TC that respectively specify the data frames; acquires location information LOC associated with the image sensing location of each data frame, and stores the location information together with acquisition time information indicating an acquisition time TIM of the location information in a disk HD; and stores a pair of time code of the data frame and acquisition time information corresponding to the location information acquired at the time of generation of the data frame in the HD.

A three-dimensional space is generated using shape model data and its surface characteristic and pattern, a space is rebuilt from the three-dimensional space as an image in accordance with a drawing specification determined by the viewpoint position, direction, angle of view, and the like, and an image is generated from light space data using the drawing specification. The images generated based on the shape model data and the light space data are fused, thereby easily generating and fusing shape model data and an actually taken image, and displaying an image with high reality.

An outline extraction method and apparatus which extracts a line of interest from image data in order of raster scanning and detects outline vectors of the pixels in the line of interest. The detected outline vectors are sequentially stored in a memory, a state of connection between the stored outline vectors and the other outline vectors in the line of interest is determined, and the outline of the image data is extracted based on the state. Accordingly, coordinates of an intersecting point of the outline of the image data with the coordinate axis of the outline vector is obtained and the image data is coded by generating coded data indicating a white run length and black run length for every line from the coordinates of the intersecting point.

An image reducing apparatus for obtaining a reduced image from an image of an original size has: a filter to execute a filtering process to the image of the original size every image block of a predetermined size; a discriminating circuit to discriminate a structure of the image block filter processed by the filter; a correcting circuit to correct an output of the filter in accordance with the discriminated structure; and a binarization unit to binarize the output of the filter. By executing the reduction suitable for the image content in consideration of the peripheral images of the object pixel to be reduced and the peripheral reduced images, a reduced image can be obtained without extinguishing the content of the image of the original size, and especially, without fading or losing the thin lines in the reduced image.

There is provided an image processing apparatus which handles an image as a digital signal, comprising: an input device to input image data indicative of a concentration of an image; a binarization circuit to binarize the input image data; a positive/negative state detection circuit to detect whether error data generated when the image data is binarized by the binarization circuit is in a positive state or a negative state; and a selector to select whether the error data generated upon binarization is to be corrected or not, on the basis of the positive or negative state of the error data. The input device has a generator to read an original and generate an analog image signal and a converter to convert the analog image signal into the digital image data. The error data is the difference between the input image data and the binary data produced by the binarization circuit. With this apparatus, an image of a good picture quality can be obtained by improving the error diffusion method as a halftone processing method. Even when portions of high and low concentrations in an original are very close to each other, the blanking phenomenon, wherein no dot is printed in the low concentration area near the boundary between those portions, and the consequent problem that the reproduced image lacks its proper content can be prevented.

A report concerning the contents obtained by interpretation based on a medical image can be efficiently created without any constraints of expression. An information processing apparatus according to this invention includes an image analysis unit which acquires information concerning a region name or disease name based on an analysis result on the input medical image, an input unit which inputs the result obtained by interpreting the medical image as character information, a conversion candidate prediction unit which outputs conversion candidates concerning the input character information, and a display control unit which displays the input character information upon converting the character information into character information selected from the conversion candidates. The apparatus further includes a priority level setting unit which sets priority levels in advance for character information output as the conversion candidates.
摘要:
If the size of an error portion within an image of the frame of interest is equal to or larger than a threshold and it is determined that no error portion exists within an image of a frame immediately before the frame of interest, a display unit (115) is caused to display the image of the frame immediately before the frame of interest as the image of the frame of interest. If the size of an error portion within the image of the frame of interest is smaller than the threshold and it is determined that an error portion exists within the image of the frame immediately before the frame of interest, the display unit (115) is caused to display a result obtained by correcting the error portion within the image of the frame of interest using a pixel group surrounding the error portion.
