Abstract:
An amplitude detection circuit detects the peak value of an output signal of a photo-detector amplified by a head amplifier. The peak value detected by the amplitude detection circuit is read into a drive controller, and compared with a target value suitable for coding in a binary format a detected signal. The gain of a variable gain amplifier is adjusted accordingly. Consequently, an analog signal processing circuit can stably codify the detected signal in a binary format. Under the control of the drive controller, a recording power level calculation circuit determines a test writing power level with which test writing is performed on a test track of a magneto-optical disk. The recording power level calculation circuit then calculates an actual record power for each zone of the magneto-optical disk according to the test writing power level.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes an imaging unit that images a subject and that continuously creates image data on the subject; a display unit that chronologically displays live view images associated with the image data created by the imaging unit; a face detector that detects the face of a subject included in the live view image; a trimming unit that creates a face image by cutting out, from the live view images, a face area including the face of the subject detected by the face detector; and a display controller that displays the face image created by the trimming unit at a display position specified in a display area of the display unit.
Abstract:
An information filing method of an information filing apparatus equipped with a display, the method includes storing information and attribute information associated with the information, classifying a plurality of pieces of the information into a plurality of classification units on the basis of the attribute information, displaying a list of classification units in a first area of the display, selecting the classification unit displayed in the first area, displaying, in a second area of the display, an index of the information classified into the classification unit, selecting one classification unit or a plurality of consecutive classification units displayed in the first area, and classifying the classification unit into more detailed classification units and displaying the more detailed classification units in the first area.
Abstract:
A method of three-dimensionally displaying time-series data on a display screen of a display and editing the data, includes generating a time line expressing a lapse of time in a three-dimensional space, placing the time-series data as a three-dimensional object along the generated time line, setting a viewpoint position from which the three-dimensional object of the placed time-series data is observed, displaying the three-dimensional space including the three-dimensional object observed from the set viewpoint position, inputting an instruction to operate at least one of a shape of the time line and placement of the time line in the three-dimensional space, changing a shape of the three-dimensional object or placement of the three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional space in accordance with the input instruction, and moving the three-dimensional object along the time line simultaneously in synchronism with playback of the time-series data with a lapse of time.

Abstract:
An image display device of this invention has a display screen provided with a first thumbnail area, and second and third sub-thumbnail areas. Thumbnail images of images belonging to a group distant by a prescribed time period from the group displayed in the first thumbnail area are randomly extracted and displayed in the second and third sub-thumbnail areas. For example, when arranged by year of image capture, images of one year before and one year after the images displayed in the first thumbnail area are extracted at random and displayed in the second and third sub-thumbnail areas, respectively. In addition to images resulting from a search specified by the user, by also displaying on the same screen images not anticipated by the user, the user is presented with chance encounters with images.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a first and a second imaging unit, a clipping unit, an image processing control unit. The first imaging unit is provided on a front face of an apparatus main body. The second imaging unit is provided on a back face of the apparatus main body. The clipping unit clips image data of the second main subject from the second acquired image data. The image processing control unit combines the first acquired image data with the image data of the second main subject clipped by the clipping unit to meet combining conditions determined by the first image data.
