Abstract: A low dynamic range (LDR) image data storage stores LDR image sets each of which includes a plurality of LDR segmented images captured with a camera panned. Here each LDR image set is of a different exposure level, respectively. A high-dynamic-range (HDR) synthesizing unit combines and merges a plurality of LDR segmented images of different exposure levels so as to generate an HDR segmented image set including a plurality of HDR segmented images of different pan angles or tilt angles. A panoramic image synthesizing unit generates an HDR panoramic image by stitching together adjacent HDR segmented images.

Abstract: A moving image reproduction apparatus is provided with a reproduction unit that decodes pictures included in a chunk of a video stream and displays the decoded pictures and a control unit that gives an instruction to start the reproduction process. When a reproduction target is switched to a second video stream that corresponds to a second bit rate during the reproduction of a first video stream that corresponds to a first bit rate, the reproduction unit continues to reproduce a chunk of the first video stream that is being reproduced. The control unit instructs, when pictures included in a chunk of the second video stream overlap with pictures included in the chunk that is being reproduced, the reproduction unit to hide the overlapping pictures in a reproduction process performed on the chunk of the second video stream.

Abstract: A first communication control unit and a second communication control unit share a single transmission and reception unit. The second communication control unit maintains connection with a terminal device while the first communication control unit is scanning frequency channels to search for an access point. When a search processing unit 104 detects an access point, the second communication control unit 200 switches the frequency channel for use in communication with the terminal device to the channel used in the detected access point.

Abstract: A viewpoint detection unit detects a user viewing a stereoscopic image, including a parallax image of a subject as viewed from a predetermined position defined as a reference view position, and tracks a viewpoint of the detected user. A motion parallax correction unit determines, if a speed of movement of the viewpoint becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined level, an amount of motion parallax correction for the parallax image, on the basis of an amount of movement of the viewpoint, so as to generate a stereoscopic image corrected for motion parallax, generates, if the speed of movement of the viewpoint subsequently becomes lower than a predetermined level, a stereoscopic image by changing the amount of motion parallax correction in steps until the parallax image return to parallax images as seen from the reference view position.

Abstract: An intermediate command generation unit generates intermediate commands, which are intermediate rendering commands having model data for rendering an object.A graphics command conversion unit converts the generated intermediate commands into a graphic command sequence for execution by a graphics processor. An identity determination unit determines whether a state of a graphics command to be generated from an intermediate command is the same as a state of the graphics command generated previously. A graphics command generation unit generates a graphics command determined by the identity determination unit as not having the same state, and does not generate a graphics command determined as having the same state, defining the command as a redundant command.
