    Abstract: A circuit arrangement (40) and display apparatus are described for use in 3-D graphics, where 2-D texture maps stored at different resolutions in a pyramidal array are indexed by a pair of texture coordinates and an associated level coordinate (L). In order to introduce depth cues to the 2-D transformed image of the 3-D environment, a focus depth (F) for the image is specified and those image components having a depth (z) other than the focus depth have their texture blurred to direct the viewer's eye to the depth of interest. The texture blurring is introduced by applying an offset (FS) to the level coordinate (L) indexing the pyramidal array in an amount determined by the distance to the focus depth.

    Abstract: Encoding device for encoding a program and recording device. When a program of a certain duration is converted into compressed data (encoded), it is desirable for the total number of data to fit in an available data space, for example, when recorded on an information carrier. More particularly in variable bit rate compression such as a video signal via MPEG-2, this is hard to forecast. For this purpose, a recording device according to the invention comprises a compression unit (22) whose bit rate is influenced by a system controller (45) via a control input (26) during the encoding process in dependence on the remaining part of the vacant data space on the information carrier (1) and the remaining duration of the program. When parameters influencing the bit rate are set in the compression unit (22), the system controller will take the complexity of the program derived during a previously encoded part of the program into account. Furthermore, a separate encoding device is described arranged for receiving time information and data space information and there is also described the control of the bit rate of a compression unit (22) in dependence on the time, data space and program complexity information.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for controlling pixel addressing of a pixel display device to drive the display device as an N view autostereoscopic display. A graphics controller (40) generates multiple views of a scene from different viewpoints. The graphics controller (40) selectively accesses a combined image memory buffer (43), so that portions of each view are written by the graphics controller (40) to allocated areas of the combined image memory buffer (43). A display (54) is driven according to the data in the combined memory buffer. This arrangement reduced data transfer volume for the generation of image data which comprises interleaved portions from individual images.

    Abstract: A semiconductor body (11) has first and second opposed major surfaces (11a and 11b). First and second main regions (13 and 14) meet the second major surface (11b) and a voltage-sustaining zone is provided between the first and second regions (13 and 14). The voltage-sustaining zone has a semiconductor region (11) of one conductivity type forming a rectifying junction (J) with a region (15) of the device such that, when the rectifying junction is reverse-biased in one mode of operation, a depletion region extends in the semiconductor region of the voltage-sustaining zone. A number of conductive regions (22) are isolated from and extend through the semiconductor region (11) in a direction transverse to the first and second major surfaces (11a and 11b) so as to be spaced apart in a direction between first and second main regions. A voltage regulator (20; 20null; 20a and 20b) is provided for setting the voltage at each conductive regions (22) so as to control the voltage distribution, and thus the electrical field profile, in the voltage- sustaining zone when the rectifying junction is reverse-biased in said one mode of operation.

    Abstract: A method of generating a plurality of images for display of a 3D scene from different viewpoints comprises generating a model of the scene using a homogenous coordinate system which uses first, second and third orthogonal axes and a homogeneity value. A first display image is obtained from a first viewpoint and one or more further display images are obtained by updating the a coordinate value of the first display image using the displacement value and the homogeneity value. The use of the homogeneity value reduces the complexity of the calculations required to obtain the further images by post processing.
