Disclosed are an image synthesis apparatus and an image synthesis method. According to the present invention, an image synthesis apparatus, for synthesizing a plurality of images to generate a synthesis image, selects for an image synthesis unit two or more images from among a plurality of images, and stores image information for the selected images, employs the stored image information to generate coordinate transformation parameters that are used to set a positional relationship for the selected images before these images are synthesized to obtain a single image, changes the generated coordinate transformation parameters by using as a reference a position location for an arbitrary image selected from among the plurality of images, provides the resultant coordinate transformation parameters as image synthesis information, and synthesizes the images in accordance with the image synthesis information. With this arrangement, even when there are many images to be synthesized, the positions of images can be precisely aligned without a large, permanent memory area being required for the storage of image data to be synthesized. Also, the characteristic of a synthesized image can be determined by employing as a reference the characteristic of an arbitrary image selected from among a plurality of images to be synthesized.
摘要:
An image synthesizing system comprising a digital camera and a personal computer. When a first image is picked up by the camera, the personal computer takes the image sensed by the camera and a reduced image of the picked-up image. While the camera is moving, the camera sequentially sends reduced images to the personal computer, and the personal computer inputs the reduced images. The personal computer determines whether an image which is currently sensed by the camera is suitable for being synthesized into a panoramic image or not on the basis of an overlapping area between the first reduced image and a current reduced image, and a determined result is notified to a user.
摘要:
A data retrieval method and apparatus for designating retrieval of items of data that satisfies a plurality of retrieval conditions, by using retrieval results which have already been retrieved based on one of the retrieval conditions and displayed. An item of data stored in a data storage is retrieved based on a keyword, and an icon of the retrieved data is displayed within an area corresponding to the keyword, on a display window. When a plurality such areas are displayed on the display window, if one area is designated and moved, in accordance with a relative distance between the areas, display positions of icons of data commonly included in the areas are moved closer to each other, while the other icons in the areas are moved away from those in the opposite side. If the areas are overlapped with each other, the icon of data commonly included in these areas is displayed within the overlap.

An information processing apparatus is arranged to determine whether or not the software is installed from any one of the updater from the recording medium and the downloaded updater, in accordance with a type of the updater determined by a server based on version information of the software stored in the external recording medium and is also arranged to operate such that when the updater type includes a full updater, the software in the external recording medium is not installed but the full updater is downloaded from the server apparatus and installed, and when the updater type does not include the full updater, the software in the external recording medium is installed and a difference data is downloaded from the server and installed concurrently with it.
摘要:
A boot control method of a program in an information processing apparatus to which a device can be connected, the method including a search step of searching for a running program that is running on the information processing apparatus when the device is connected, a determination step of determining whether the running program found in the search step includes a program unfit for concurrent running that is unsuited for concurrent running with preset device-corresponding software that is booted in response to connection of the device, and a boot step of booting the device-corresponding software if the running program does not include the program unfit for concurrent running and performing control so as not to boot the device-corresponding software if the running program includes the software unfit for concurrent running.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a main surface and a semiconductor element having an insulated gate field effect portion formed in the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor element includes an n− region, an n-type source region, a p-type base region, an n+ region, and a gate electrode. The n− region and the n-type source region are formed in the main surface. The p-type base region is formed in the main surface adjacent to the n-type source region. The n+ region is formed in the main surface adjacent to the p-type base region and opposed to the n-type source region with the p-type base region being interposed, and has an impurity concentration higher than the n− region. The n− region is formed in the main surface adjacent to the p-type base region and to the n+ region.

An image synthesis method includes a placement information obtaining step of obtaining placement information about a plurality of images in which adjacent images have a common subject region, and a synthesis step of combining the images using a mapping mode in accordance with the placement information. Prior to performing mapping transformation of the input images, coordinate-space transformation parameters for transforming the coordinate space of one image among the images into the coordinate space of another image are generated. The images are combined based on a given mapping mode and the coordinate-space transformation parameters.
