Abstract:
A tile image sequence 250 obtained by dividing a frame into a predetermined size is further divided into another predetermined size on an image plane to generate a voxel (for example, a voxel 252) (S10). If a redundancy in a space direction or a time direction exists, then data is reduced in the direction (S12), and sequences in the time direction are deployed on a two-dimensional plane (S14). Voxel images are placed on an image plane of a predetermined size to generate one integrated image 258 (S16). In a grouping pattern which exhibits a minimum quantization error, pixels are collectively placed in the region of each voxel image for each group (integrated image 262) (S18). The integrated image 262 after the re-placement is compressed in accordance with a predetermined compression method to generate a compressed image 266 and reference information 264 for determining the position of a needed pixel (S20).
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing apparatus including a stereo matching unit configured to obtain right and left disparity images by using stereo matching, based on a pair of images captured by right and left cameras, respectively, a filter processing unit configured to perform filter processing on the disparity images, and a first merging unit configured to make a comparison, in the disparity images that have undergone the filter processing, between disparity values at mutually corresponding positions in the right and left disparity images and to merge the disparity values of the right and left disparity images based on a comparison result.
Abstract:
A hard disk drive stores hierarchical image data, a speed map holding, for each tile image, an index of the processing time required to render a tile image having a predetermined image size obtained by partitioning the image, and scenario data which defines viewpoint shifting. In a control unit of an information processing apparatus having a function of displaying an image, an input information acquisition unit acquires information with respect to the user's input operation via an input device. A loading unit loads necessary data for image displaying from the hard disk drive. A shifting condition adjustment unit adjusts the viewpoint shifting speed based upon the speed map. A frame coordinate determination unit sequentially determines frame coordinates of a display area. A decoding unit decodes compressed image data. A display image processing unit renders a display image.
Abstract:
An input information acquisition unit of an information processing device acknowledges a user input. An imaging condition control unit initiates imaging using the imaging condition determined according to the user input or a result of analyzing a captured image. An imaging condition storage unit stores an imaging condition table that maps target functions to imaging conditions. First and second image analysis units and acquire images captured by first and second cameras and installed in the imaging device and perform necessary image analysis. An information integration unit integrates images captured by the pair of cameras and results of analysis. An image data generation unit generates data for an image output as a result of the process.
