摘要： The video descriptor generation device includes an each-picture feature extraction unit which extracts a feature from a video for each picture which is a frame or a field, and outputs an each-picture feature; an inter-picture feature difference calculation unit which calculates an inter-picture feature difference, which is a difference between features of pictures, from the each-picture features as a difference feature, and calculates a difference feature information amount indicating an amount of information of the difference feature; an additional feature extraction unit which calculates a feature to be added as an additional feature from the video; and a feature combining unit which, if the volume of the difference feature information amount is smaller than a certain criterion, constitutes a video descriptor by incorporating the additional feature in addition to the difference feature.

摘要： A hierarchical image coding device includes a base layer coding section, an arithmetic coding section, a coding residual value occurrence probability calculation section and a multiplexer. The base layer coding section encodes an input video signal and thereby generates a base layer bit-stream. At the same time, the base layer coding section also outputs coding residual values and quantization information. The coding residual value occurrence probability calculation section calculates and outputs occurrence probability of each possible value of each of the coding residual values, based on the quantization information outputted by the base layer coding section and statistical values (concerning values before quantization) which have preliminarily been stored therein. The arithmetic coding section executes arithmetic coding to the coding residual values based on the coding residual value occurrence probabilities outputted by the coding residual value occurrence probability calculation section. The result of the arithmetic coding and the quantization information are multiplexed by the multiplexer, and thereby an enhancement layer bit-stream is generated and outputted. By the arithmetic coding of the coding residual values based on the coding residual value occurrence probabilities calculated based on the quantization information, coding efficiency of the enhancement layer bit-stream is improved.

摘要： A watermarking procedure that is applicable to images, audio, video and multimedia data to be watermarked divides the data to be watermarked into a set of n×n blocks, such as the 8×8 blocks of MPEG. The same watermark signal can be distributed throughout the set of blocks in a large variety of ways. This allows the insertion algorithm to be changed without affecting the decoders. The decoding procedure first sums together the DCT coefficients of N sets of 8×8 blocks to form a set of N summed 8×8 blocks and then extracts the watermark from the summed block. Since the sum of the DCT blocks is equal to the DCT of the sum of the intensity blocks, efficient decoding can occur in both the spatial and frequency domains. The symmetric nature of the decoding process allows geometric distortions to be handled in the spatial domain and other signal distortions to be handled in the frequency domain. Moreover, insertion of a watermark signal into image data and the subsequent extraction of the watermark from watermarked image data which has been subject to distortion between the times of insertion and extraction involves the insertion of multiple watermarks designed to survive predefined distortions of the image data, such as panscan or letterbox mode transformations. Alternatively, a registration pattern in the image data, after the image data containing the registration pattern is subject to an unknown distortion, is used to compensate for distortion of the watermarked image data.

摘要： The proximate data selecting unit (photographing time distance base proximate data selecting unit) selects, as a proximate photograph, a photograph having a photographing time satisfying constraint on a time distance from a determination time determined in each adjacent photographs block as a time block sandwiched by photographing times of two photographs adjacent to each other in a group of photographs aligned in the order of photographing based on time series photographing time information and outputs proximate data designation information for designating photographing time data of the proximate photograph. The group boundary determining unit detects a change of a photographing disposition in each adjacent photographs block by using photographing time data of a proximate photograph at a determination time in each adjacent photographs block which is designated by the proximate data designation information, thereby determining whether there exists a boundary of a group in each adjacent photographs block.

摘要： An image signature to be used for matching is generated by the following generation method. First, region features are extracted from respective sub-regions of a plurality of pairs of sub-regions in an image, and for each of the pairs of sub-regions, a difference value between the region features of two sub-regions forming a pair is quantized. Then, a collection of elements which are quantization values calculated for the respective pairs of sub-regions is used as an image signature to be used for discriminating the image. The image signature matching device specifies, from an image signature of a first image and an image signature of a second image generated by the above generating method, a margin region of each of the images. The image signature matching device matches the image signature of the first image and the image signature of the second image in such a manner that a weight of an element, in which at least one of two sub-regions forming a pair is included in the specified margin region, is reduced.

摘要： An image signature to be used for matching is generated by the following generation method. First, region features are extracted from respective sub-regions of a plurality of pairs of sub-regions in an image, and for each of the pairs of sub-regions, a difference value between the region features of two sub-regions forming a pair is quantized. When performing the quantization, the difference value is quantized to a particular quantization value if an absolute value of the difference value is smaller than a predetermined value. Then, a collection of elements which are quantization values calculated for the respective pairs of sub-regions is used as an image signature to be used for discriminating the image. An image signature matching device matches an image signature of a first image and an image signature of a second image, generated by the above-described generation method, in such a manner that a weight of an element having the particular quantization value is reduced.
