    摘要: A frame brightness detecting unit 15 detects a frame brightness value of each of a plurality of image frames. A flicker spectrum detecting unit 16 detects, from the frame brightness values of 512 frames, spectrum values at frequencies, such as 100 Hz, 200 Hz, and 300 Hz. A brightness estimating unit 17 estimates a brightens value of a light source from the spectrum values. An encoding unit 18 uses a reciprocal of the estimated brightens value to determine a reference frame. The encoding unit 18 also uses the reciprocal in an evaluation function for motion vector estimation. The image frame is encoded using the motion vector.

A plurality of combined pictures are generated each of which is generated by combining a plurality of pictures into a combined picture having the plurality of pictures as regions. The plurality of the combined pictures is coded and a slice boundary between the regions is set in the combined picture. For each of the plurality of combined pictures, when the combined picture has one or more to-be-displayed region except at least one not-to-be-displayed region, the to-be-displayed region is coded with reference to only a to-be-displayed region of another combined picture. The one or more to-be-displayed region is displayed for skipped reproduction.

    摘要: A video display apparatus for displaying on a monitor videos captured using capturing sections is provided. The capturing sections (101a-101n) capture the periphery of a vehicle. Reference position setting sections (102a-102n) set a focus monitor position as a video construction reference position. A steering angle detecting section (108) detects a steering angle caused by a driver's operation. The video construction reference position is corrected based on the steering angle. After video construction reference position information adding sections (103a-103n) add video construction reference position information to the videos, a video constructing section (104) combines the videos of the capturing sections so that all of the video construction reference positions overlap each other. A display video generating section (106) clips a video based on a display area specified by a display area specifying section (105). A video display section (107) outputs the clipped video to the monitor for display.

    摘要: The stability is improved with which focus control is performed by an image capture device that brings a face region image into focus according to the contrast method. A human detection circuit 3 performs a human image search by using a threshold value Thh1. A face detection circuit 2 performs a face image search by using a threshold value Thf1. When an entire body image region corresponding to an entire body of a person is detected and a face image region corresponding to a face of the same person is detected in the captured image through the human image search and the face image search, the face detection circuit 2 performs redetermination with respect to the face image region by using a threshold value Thf2. The redetermination by using the threshold value Thf21 has higher accuracy compared to the face image search by using the threshold value Thf1.
