A video encoding method for encoding video images as a single video image by using parallax compensation which performs prediction by using parallax between the video images, and a corresponding decoding method. The number of parameters as parallax data used for the parallax compensation is selected and set for each reference image. Data of the set number of parameters is encoded, and parallax data in accordance with the number of parameters is encoded. During decoding, parallax-parameter number data, which is included in encoded data and designates the number of parameters as parallax data for each reference image, is decoded, and parallax data in accordance with the number of parameters is decoded, where the parallax data is included in the encoded data.

By using parallax compensation which performs prediction by using parallax between video images, the video images are encoded as a single video image. Reference parallax for a target image to be encoded is set, wherein the reference parallax is estimated using a reference image; area division in an image frame is set; parallax displacement for each divided area is set, wherein the parallax displacement is the difference between the reference parallax and parallax for the parallax compensation; data of the area division is encoded; and data for indicating the parallax displacement is encoded. During decoding, reference parallax for a target image to be decoded is set, wherein it is estimated using a reference image; data for indicating area division, which is included in encoded data, is decoded; and data of parallax displacement, which is included in the encoded data, is decoded for each area indicated by the area division data.
摘要:
A section processing apparatus has a mark forming control portion that transmits control information for forming marks on a surface of a sample. Each of the marks has at least two portions intersecting at a converging portion located at a previously determined position of an observation target section of the sample or in the vicinity of the previously determined position. A first focused ion beam apparatus emits a first focused beam for forming each of the marks on the surface of the sample based on the control information transmitted by the mark forming control portion and for processing a section of the sample. The section of the sample is processed by scanning the first focused beam in parallel with the at least two portions of the marks in the direction of the converging portion, while the section of the sample and positions of the marks are observed by a second focused ion beam apparatus, and to finish processing of the section of the sample when the first focused beam reaches the converging portion or a vicinity thereof.

A composite focused ion beam device has a first ion beam irradiation system that irradiates a first ion beam for processing a sample and a second ion beam irradiation system that irradiates a second ion beam for processing or observing the sample. The first ion beam irradiation system has a plasma type gas ion source that generates first ions for forming the first ion beam, each of the first ions having a first mass. The second ion beam irradiation system has a gas field ion source that generates second ions for forming the second ion beam. Each of the second ions has a second mass smaller than that of the first mass.

摘要:
In a method of making a lamina specimen, first and second ion beams are simultaneously used to sputter etch first and second side walls of a lamina region at the same time under first and second ion beam conditions. A scanning ion microscope observation of the lamina region is made using the second ion beam while sputter etching of the first and second side walls is continued using the first ion beam until the thickness of the lamina has a predetermined value.
摘要:
A processing apparatus uses a focused charged particle beam to process a micro sample that is supported on a micro mount part. The micro mount part is supported on a micro sample stage and locally cooled by a cooling unit. The micro mount part is thermally independent of the micro sample stage and, due to its small size, can be cooled rapidly by the cooling unit.
