摘要:
A compression-coded high definition television signal is decoded and converted to a standard NTSC signal without loss of interlacing so that the resulting picture exhibits smooth motion. The compression-coding of the HDTV signal includes DCT processing to produce an 8.times.8 block of coefficient data. Upon decoding, the upper left quadrant of the coefficient data array is used to form a 4.times.4 subblock of coefficient data but the last row of elements of the subblock is replaced by corresponding elements of the eighth row of the 8.times.8 block of coefficient data.
摘要:
Reproducing an input image of reduced resolution with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions in high picture quality by processing a coded bit stream of normal resolution. A difference signal (mismatching error signal) representing the difference between a predicted image of the normal resolution and a predicted image of a half resolution with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions is coded and the coded difference signal is transmitted. When producing the predicted image, image data is subjected to motion compensation according to a specified prediction mode.
摘要:
To provide an apparatus, a recording medium and a method for effectively preventing unauthorized use of a content. A content containing broken data different from correct content member data is recorded on an information recording medium. Furthermore, transform data, as the correct member data, to be substituted for the broken data, and a fix-up table storing setting position information of the content are recorded on the information recording medium. During the content playback process, the transform data is substituted for the content member data in accordance with the fix-up table recorded on the information recording medium. With this arrangement, even if the encryption key corresponding to the encrypted content recorded on the information recording medium is leaked, an apparatus unable to acquire the transform data cannot play back the content. Unauthorized use of the content is thus controlled.
摘要:
A multiview video decoding apparatus receives and decodes an encoded stream obtained as a result of encoding residual information, 2D images for N views, and depth images for N views, the residual information being the error between synthetic-view images generated using the 2D images for N views and the depth images for N views, and 2D images for (M−N) views at the view synthesis positions of the synthetic-view images. A view synthesizing apparatus generates the synthetic-view images by using the 2D images and depth images for N views decoded by the multiview video decoding apparatus. A residual information compensating apparatus adds the residual information into the generated synthetic-view images. The apparatus may be applied to a system that conducts view synthesis, for example.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus, an information recording medium, an information processing method, and a computer program are provided.In an information recording medium storing many pieces of content, a configuration that allows use management on segmented content basis is provided. A plurality of content management units corresponding to title, index and other information are set by partitioning stored content in an information recording medium. Different unit keys that are encryption keys are allocated to different content management units. At least the content real data included in each content management unit is encrypted by use of the unit key and the encrypted data is stored. In content reproduction, units are identified and decryption is executed by use of a unit key corresponding to each unit for reproduction. In an information recording medium storing many pieces of content for example, each of segmented pieces of content may be managed.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing information, method and apparatus for manufacturing an information recording medium, an information recording medium, and a computer program are provided. An information processing apparatus for playing back a content recorded on an information recording medium and includes a data transform processor performing a substitution process on content member data recorded on the information recording medium. The data transform processor substitutes transform data as substitute data for the content member data in accordance with a fix-up table holding recording position information of the transform data.

An information processing apparatus that obtains pieces of content information relating to content recorded in an information recording medium, the information processing apparatus includes a data analyzing unit configured to read a content certificate which is recorded in the information recording medium and which corresponds to the content recorded in the information recording medium, a data transmitting unit configured to transmit a content certificate identifier analyzed using the data analyzing unit to a content information provision server, a data receiving unit configured to receive, from the content information provision server, the pieces of content information relating to the content which is specified on the bases of the content certification identifier, and a data outputting unit configured to output the pieces of content information received using the data receiving unit.
摘要:
An equipment unit having an interactive user interface is controlled by means of a simple apparatus. Data reproduced by a DVD player is decoded. The decoded data is converted into a signal format such as DVC SD or MPEG2-TS along with information about such as a menu. The converted information is transmitted to a simple display device through the 1394 digital interface. When a predetermined item in the menu displayed on the screen of the simple display device is selected by operating a remote commander, a corresponding panel command such as “CURSOR UP” or “EXEC” is transmitted to the DVD player. The selected item is recognized by the DVD player and necessary processing is executed.
摘要:
Video signal transmitting system in which digital video signal are divided into groups of predetermined frames. Digital video signals of at least one frame are intraframe coded and then transmitted. Remaining digital video signals are interframe coded with reference to the intraframe coded digital video signals, and intraframe coded digital video signals of a subsequent group of frames and are then transmitted. A motion vector from a predetermined reference frame is detected. Video signals are interframe coded by the motion vector to transmit the video signals. A motion vector from a first frame which is a plurality of frames away from the reference frame is converted to a motion vector for a one frame interval between the reference frame and the first frame. The motion vector is optimized, and is then transmitted.

A moving picture coding apparatus for coding a moving picture and a moving picture decoding apparatus for decoding a coded moving picture are provided. The moving picture coding apparatus is operative to divide a picture signal of a picture frame of N pixels.times.M lines (horizontal N pixels, vertical M lines) to be coded between a first picture portion serving as the inside picture portion having picture frame of N.sub.1 pixels.times.M.sub.1 lines (N.sub.1 .ltoreq.N, M.sub.1 .ltoreq.M) and a second picture portion serving as picture portion outside the first picture portion to divide the first and second picture portions in independent predetermined divisional units comprised of a plurality of pixels, and to add peculiar discrimination codes to headers of divisional units in transmitting coded information of predetermined divisional units belonging to the second picture portion.
