A detector detects a specified image in an input image. The detector includes an area determination unit for determining, in the input image, a detection target area in which the specified image potentially exists, a setting unit for setting positions of a plurality of matching target ranges substantially in the detection target area, each of the matching target ranges being a predetermined size, so that the matching target ranges cover the detection target area, and each matching target range overlaps a neighboring matching target range by a predetermined overlap width, and a matching unit for detecting the specified image by matching a portion of the input image encompassed by each matching target range set by the setting unit and a template image for detecting the specified image.

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.

The frame interpolation unit 61 generates an interpolation image for interpolating in a non-photographic section that is between one exposure section in which exposure occurs and a next exposure section, with use of photographed images in both exposure sections temporally adjacent to the non-photographing section. The frame compositing circuit 62 generates a composite image corresponding to a predetermined time section with use of a photographed image photographed in the predetermined time section and the interpolation image generated by the frame interpolation circuit 61.

A disc device 11 stores (i) videos and still images, and (ii) for each video/still image, image information including an imaging time at which the video/still image was taken. A time management unit 16 manages a reference time in accordance with playback performed by a display control unit 14. When a reception unit receives, from a user, a switch instruction that causes an image switch to be performed, a search unit 17 refers to the image information pieces to search for (i) from among the videos, a video that was entirely/partially taken during time range Ta, and (ii) from among the still images, a still image that was taken during time range Tb, both of the time ranges Ta and Tb including the reference time. The playback control unit 14 performs the image switch based on a result of the search performed by the search unit 17.
摘要:
An image shooting apparatus, before the frame rate is actually changed, causes the aperture to transit to a value which ensure that the amount of exposure before the change of the frame rate is ensured after the change, in correspondence with the exposure time that can be ensured during the high-speed shooting; and causes the exposure time to transit to the exposure time that can be ensured during the high-speed shooting, so that the frame rate is changed quickly and the image is reproduced smoothly when a portion corresponding to the frame rate change is reproduced.

A communication device that can simplify various settings of a display device, such as a TV, that provides information regarding an object (communication device) is provided. An image capturing device (1) has a RF-ID unit (47) for performing proximity wireless communication with a RF-ID reader/writer (46) connected via an infrared communication path to a TV (45). The image capturing device (1) includes: an antenna (21) for the proximity wireless communication; a data receiving unit (105) receiving an input signal from the RF-ID reader/writer (46); a nonvolatile second memory (52) storing at least UID (75) and an execution program (116); and a data transmission unit (108) transmitting the UID (75) and the execution program (116) to the RF-ID reader/writer (46) via the antenna (21) according to the input signal. The UID (75) is used to identify the communication device, and the execution program (116) is executed by the TV (45) with reference to the UID (75). The transmitted UID (75) and execution program (116) are transferred to the TV (45) via the RF-ID reader/writer (46).

摘要:
The n-tap filtering for generating interpolated pixels is converted into calculation of terms consisting of the difference and sum of the pixel values of adjoining pixels. When the difference is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the calculation related to the terms including the difference is omitted, thereby reducing the calculation amount in generating the interpolated pixels. In loop processing according to a flow chart of the pixel interpolating method, the reference pixels are accessed by one pixel per one loop processing for reading pixel values thereof, and the difference and sum of the pixel values are calculate using the adjoining pixel value already read one loop before, thereby interpolating the pixel values of consecutive pixels to be interpolated. Consequently, redundant reading of pixel values is avoided, with further beneficial effects on speedy generation of the interpolated pixels and reduction of the power consumption therein.

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.

A vertical edge extraction unit detects vertical edges in the first image, and a horizontal segmentation unit divides a horizontal line in the first image into a plurality of segments using the detected edges as borders between the segments. A disparity search unit calculates, for each of the segments, a disparity between the segment and a region of the second image similar to the segment, and a disparity image generation unit generates the disparity image in accordance with the disparity calculated for each of the segments.
