摘要:
For an input interface apparatus for recognizing the motion of an object, there may be cases where the brightness of the object to be captured is insufficient, and thus, a camera takes an image of the object operated by the object, a depth position detector detects the position of the object based on captured frames, an action identifying unit identifies an action of the player based on a result on the detection of the object, an input receiving unit receives the action as an instruction to an input-receiving image displayed on a display, and in response to the action, an illumination control unit raises the brightness of the image projected on the display higher than that before the action is detected.

A player can be notified both visually and aurally that his/her action is recognized. A velocity vector-calculating unit calculates a velocity vector of the movement of an object manipulated by a player moving toward an assumable contact surface W by using an image of the movement of the player captured by a camera. A travel time calculating unit calculates the travel time required for the object to reach the contact surface W by using the velocity vector and a distance between the object and the contact surface W. A lag time acquisition unit acquires a lag time that sound output from a speaker takes to reach the player. A sound control unit allows the player to hear the sound substantially at the same time the object contacts the contact surface by outputting a predetermined sound after the time passes which is obtained by subtracting the lag time from the travel time.

Intended is to inform a player of it through both the visual sense and the auditory sense that an action has been recognized. A velocity vector calculating unit calculates, by using the image of the action of the player taken with a camera (20), the velocity vector of the action, in which an object operated by a player (72) comes toward a contact plane (W). A moving time calculating unit calculates, by using the velocity vector and the distance between the object and the contact plane (W), the moving time period required for the object to reach the contact plane. A delay time acquiring unit acquires a delay time period till the voice uttered by a speaker (42) reaches the player (72). A voice control unit outputs a predetermined voice after lapse of the time period calculated by subtracting the delay time from the moving time period, so that the player (72) may listen to the voice, substantially simultaneously as the object contacts the contact plane.

To provide an image processing technique for easy initial settings when a video image feature is used as an input interface. This is an image processor having an image combining section for combining a mirrored video image feature that includes an image of an operator as a portion thereof and an object image of an object that is associated with a predetermined event, to generate a combined image, and being adapted to provide production of the combined image on a display device. This image processor has a detection section for detecting the position of an image of an operator included in the mirrored video image feature. The image combining section is adapted to combine the object image and the mirrored video image feature in such a manner that the object image is displayed in a range that an image of a hand of the operator can reach, depending on the position of the image of the operator detected by the detection section.
摘要:
A rectangular-parallelopiped space (box space) expresses the moving images by use of a virtual space. A plurality of frames contained in the moving images appear continuously along time axis. The box space is cut through by a desired surface, and an image projected on this cut surface is projected onto a plane parallel in the direction of time axis. Images sequentially projected onto the plane are outputted as new moving images.

An image processing apparatus capable of obtaining a novel image. An image input unit acquires frames constituting a moving image, and stores them into an image buffer. A processing execution unit reads frames to be reproduced from the image buffer as reproduction targets. An image conversion unit applies image processing to the frames to be reproduced. An image output unit outputs the frames to a monitor. A buffer adjusting unit stores the reproduced frames into the image buffer as past frames, and drops some of the frames at predetermined time intervals.

A game controller includes a plurality of LEDs formed on the rear of a case. The plurality of LEDs are arranged two-dimensionally in its layout area. The game controller has a plurality of PWM control units which are provided inside the case and control the lighting of the plurality of LEDs, respectively. The PWM control units control the lighting of the LEDs based on a control signal from a game apparatus. The game apparatus acquires a captured image of the game controller, and acquires the position of the game controller in the captured image based on the positions of the LEDs in the captured image.

The present invention provides a game system using LEDs in a controller 20. In a game system of the present invention, an image pickup apparatus captures the controller. The controller includes multiple input units for making an operation input to advance a game, and multiple LEDs for indicating a controller number set for the controller in a game application executed. A game apparatus accepts an operation input provided to the controller and reflects the operation input in the processing of a game application, acquires a captured image from the image pickup apparatus, acquires the position of the controller in the captured image based on the position of the LED in the captured image and reflects the acquired position information in the processing of the game application, and generates an image signal showing the result of application processing performed based on the operation input and acquired position information.

Provided is a game system utilizing the LEDs of a controller (20). In a game system (1), an image pickup device (2) takes the image of the controller (20). The controller (20) includes a plurality of input units for performing an operation input to proceed a game, and a plurality of LEDs for expressing a controller number to be set in the controller (20), in a game application to be executed. A game device (10) accepts and reflects the operation input of the controller (20), upon the processing of the game application, acquires the taken image from the image pickup device (2), acquires a position in the taken image of the controller (20) from the positions of the LEDs in the taken image, reflects the acquired position information upon the processing of the game application, and generates an image signal indicating the application processing result based on the operation input and the acquired position information.
