摘要:
In an image recording/reproduction method for recording image information on a recording medium by using a computer, a verify mode is set into the OFF state when recording image information on said recording medium. In addition, use as a write or read region a specified region of the recording medium which is greater than or equal to a unitary data size being handled during error correction processing to be performed when writing or reading image information on or out of said recording medium. Additionally, upon reading of image information from the recording medium, any image information that has experienced read errors will never be read again.

An intruding object detecting method and an intruding object monitoring apparatus for detecting a target object intruding into an image pickup region while reducing the error detection of moving objects other than the target object. A difference in pixel value between an input image signal and each of different image signals in a predetermined number of frames greater than one is calculated for each pixel to thereby obtain differential images in the predetermined number of frames. The differential images in the predetermined number of frames are synthesized in predetermined proportions to thereby generate a synthesized differential image. The synthesized differential image is binarized on the basis of a predetermined threshold value to thereby generate a binarized image. A binarized object in the binarized image is detected as an object intruding into a monitoring visual field.

An image information displaying method and apparatus for the edition of a motion picture are disclosed in which representative image representing a series of frame images forming the motion picture are displayed on a screen of a display device and a hierarchical structure based on a plurality of representative images is generated on the screen through an operation using a GUI to perform the edition of the motion picture. A plurality of frame images included in the representative image are subjected to an image detection processing for detecting frame images having a predetermined image recorded thereon. Information indicating the detected frame image having the predetermined image recorded thereon is displayed as a detection result displaying window on the screen. Information concerning frame images having not been subjected to the image detection processing is displayed on the detection result displaying window.

The invention provides a circulating recording apparatus which can dynamically modify the capacity of a circulating recording area while holding a predetermined amount of recording data corresponding to the past. A single circulating recording area of the circulating recording apparatus can include memory areas distributed among a plurality of recording media. The circulating recording apparatus includes a circulating recording area management table composed of a plurality of table entries corresponding to the number of memory blocks constituting the circulating recording area and each entry includes pointer information for accessing the memory blocks and contents information of the data stored in the memory blocks. The data block write operation into the circulating recording area in a circulating manner and the data read operation from a specified memory block are conducted in accordance with the circulating recording area management table.

A method of characterizing a video includes the steps of extracting frame images from an input video, calculating a time length between each of the frame images and a next one of the frame images, assigning index information determined by the calculated time length to each of the frame images, stringing together the index information assigned to the frame images, and characterizing the input video by the strung-together index information. The index information is a character code, and the strung-together index information is a character code string. The frame images include head frame images located at scene changes of the input video. The input video is being broadcasted or is included in a data base.

A method of editing a video program including computer graphics animation, having the steps of setting a camera view point as a view point of images of the video program broadcasted and a user's view point for editing images picked up from the camera view point, the user's view point being different from the camera view point, storing the images picked up from the camera view point and user's view point, respectively, in a storage unit, reading out the images of the camera view point from the storage unit and displaying the images thereof on a screen of a display unit, reading out the images of the user's view point from the storage unit and displaying the images thereof on the screen of the display unit, and editing the images picked up by the camera view point in accordance with the images picked up from the user's view point.
摘要:
A method of updating a reference background image used for detecting objects entering an image pickup view field based on the binary image generated from the difference between an input image and the reference background image of the input image. The image pickup view field is divided into a plurality of view field areas, and a reference background image corresponding to each of the fixed divided view field areas is updated. An entering object detection apparatus using this method has an input image processing unit including an image memory storing an input image from an image input unit, a program memory storing the program for activating the entering object detecting unit, a work memory and a central processing unit activating the entering object detecting unit in accordance with the program. The processing unit has an entering object detecting unit determining intensity difference for each pixel between the input image and the reference background image not including an entering object to be detected and detecting an area with the difference larger than a predetermined threshold as an entering object, a dividing unit dividing the image pickup view field of the image input unit into a plurality of view field areas, an image change detecting unit detecting the change of the image in each of the divided view field areas, and a reference background image updating unit updating each portion of the reference background image corresponding to each of the divided view field areas associated with the portion of the input image free of the image change, wherein the entering object detecting unit detects entering objects based on the updated reference background image.

This invention relates to an associated video retrieving method and a method therefor which enable a user to freely and easily make associated video retrieval. Video display apparatus having a video display region for visualizing video, an index display region for displaying index information of the videos, point detection unit for detecting a point position for these display regions, object management unit for registering in advance matters or sound in an animation appearing in the video, and control unit for determining a condition of the video to be next playbacked from point information obtained by the point detection unit and from logical structure description of the video separately built up, are provided. Even when a desired scene cannot be specified from the index information, a scene in which any hints relating to the desired scene is found out and associated video retrieval is effected on the basis of such a scene so as to finally obtain the desired scene. Versatile video retrieval can be made by unitedly using each display.

A motion image control method and apparatus wherein, on a window displayed on a display screen of an image editing device, a slider indicator for implementing a shuttle function at the time of reproducing a motion image is provided with an origin in its mid-point and, when an operator releases a knob indicator located at a given position within a predetermined range, the knob is automatically returned to the origin to put the motion image indicator in its stopped state and, when the operator releases the knob located out of the predetermined range, the knob stays still at the moved position to display the motion image at its set reproduction rate. Further, a predetermined reproduction rate of the motion image is set when the knob is within the predetermined range, whereas, when the knob is moved out of the predetermined range with use of a mouse, the reproduction rate is set at a desired reproduction rate corresponding to a displacement of the knob from the predetermined range.
