Abstract:
A timing signal generation unit of a content playback device generates a shutter control signal requesting the opening or closing of a shutter of a lens among one or more lenses of a pair of shutter glasses worn by a user viewing a display panel adapted to display content, and a backlight control signal requesting a backlight of the display panel to be turned on at least when the shutter is open. A transmitter unit transmits the shutter control signal to the shutter glasses. The timing signal generation unit changes at least one of the timing of turning on the backlight or the timing of opening the shutter of the lens of the shutter glasses.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus 12 includes a first camera 22 and a second camera 24. The cameras pick up an image of a target at the same timing and at the same frame rate from left and right positions spaced by a known distance from each other. Picked up frame images are converted into image data of a predetermined plurality of resolutions. An input information acquisition section 26 of an information processing apparatus 14 acquires an instruction input from a user. A position information production section 28 approximately estimates a region of the target or a region which involves some movement on an image of a low resolution and a wide range from within stereo image data as a target region and carries out stereo matching only in regard to the region on an image of a high resolution to specify a three-dimensional position of the target. An output information production section 32 carries out a necessary process based on the position of the target to produce output information. A communication section 30 carries out request for and acquisition of image data to and from the image pickup apparatus 12.
Abstract:
A main memory stores M-bit gradation image data (M is a natural number). A correction function generating unit generates a correction function in N-bit gradation (N is a natural number, N>M) from image data. A display image generating unit generates display image data using a correction function generated by the correction function generating unit. The display image generating unit uses a correction function so as to generate display image data resulting from correcting image data obtained by decoding compressed image data in M-bit gradation with the restriction of M-bit quantization.
Abstract:
A image pickup device includes a wiring substrate and an image pickup device. A wiring substrate includes an insulating substrate and a plurality of connection electrodes. The insulating substrate has a penetrating hole, and has an inclined area where its lower surface is inclined downward toward the opening. The plurality of connection electrodes are disposed in a surrounding region around the penetrating hole on the lower surface of the insulating substrate, and are to be electrically connected to an image sensor. The image pickup device is mounted on the lower surface of the insulating substrate of the wiring substrate, and is electrically connected to the plurality of connection electrodes.
Abstract:
A parallax representation unit in a displayed image processing unit uses a height map containing information on a height of an object for each pixel to represent different views caused by the height of the object. A color representation unit uses, for example, texture coordinate values derived by the parallax representation unit to render the image, shifting the pixel defined in the color map. The color representation unit uses the normal map that maintains normals to the surface of the object for each pixel to change the way that light impinges on the surface and represent the roughness accordingly. A shadow representation unit uses a horizon map, which maintains information for each pixel to indicate whether a shadow is cast depending on the angle relative to the light source, so as to shadow the image rendered by the color representation unit.
Abstract:
A camera outputs to a host terminal a moving image for display on a display. An image acquisition unit acquires an unprocessed image captured using an imaging element. A simple demosaic processing unit performs a demosaic process on the unprocessed image. A pyramid filter unit converts the unprocessed image into a plurality of reduced images whose resolutions vary in stages. An image transmission unit is provided with a selection unit for selecting a part of the unprocessed image as a specific part and also selecting any one of the plurality of reduced images as a specified reduced image. The specific part of the unprocessed image and the specified reduced image that have been selected are transmitted to a host terminal by a communication unit for a further image process.
Abstract:
An input information acquisition unit in an information processing device acquires information related to a user operation provided in an input device. A screen data generation unit generates data for a basic screen that should be displayed in response to the user operation. A hierarchical data generation unit generates hierarchical data from the data for the basic screen. A frame area determination unit determines a frame area that should be displayed. An updated area determination unit determines an area that should be updated in response to the user operation. A loading unit loads data necessary for display from a hard disk drive. A decoding unit decodes image data. A displayed image processing unit renders a displayed image.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is provided which allows a user to easily and intuitively manipulate information in a 3-dimensional virtual space. In the information processing apparatus, a main controller sets a first coordinate system in a real space on the basis of information associated with a real object and further sets a second coordinate system in a 3-dimensional virtual space corresponding to the real space on the basis of the first coordinate system. If a user places an input device at a particular position and angle in the first coordinate system with reference to the real object, the main controller places an object in the 3-dimensional virtual space at a place and angle in the second coordinate system corresponding to the place and angle of the input device in the first coordinate system, and the main controller displays an image of the object placed in the 3-dimensional virtual space on a display.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for displaying a 3D object as a moving image includes a designating unit for designating a position and an attitude of an animation object to which animation parameters are set in advance and the 3D object in a virtual 3D space; a first determining unit for determining whether or not the 3D object and the animation object cross each other; a second determining unit for determining whether or not the animation parameters set to the animation object are already set to the 3D object, if it is determined that the 3D object and the animation object cross each other; a setting unit for setting the animation parameters to the 3D object if it is determined that the animation parameters are not set to the 3D object; and a display control unit for controlling the 3D object to be displayed in accordance with the animation parameters.
Abstract:
In trapping process of a multicolor image, it is judged whether trapping process is required or not, and trapping process is performed only when required. Specifically, trapping process is executed when in a portion where a plurality of figures constituting an image overlap, the plate color value of a relatively lower figure is erased or overwritten. This enables to execute trapping process only when there is the danger that a gap occurs in a boundary portion where different two colors are adjacent each other.
