Abstract:
A method for generating a virtual viewpoint image includes generating, by a first image processing apparatus, first information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a first image captured by a first camera, generating, by a second image processing apparatus, second information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a second image captured by a second camera; specifying a viewpoint in the virtual viewpoint image; and generating, by a third image processing apparatus, a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the specified viewpoint using the first information and the second information.
Abstract:
A transfer unit includes a reading unit to read an image on a sheet conveyed along a conveyance path, a first signal transmission member having a flat shape and is connected to the reading unit, and a relay member connected to the first signal transmission member. The relay member relays a signal from the first signal transmission member, and a second signal transmission member having a round shape and is connected to the relay member. The second signal transmission member leads into an apparatus body from an inner portion of the transfer unit in an axial direction of a first rotation shaft.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus for communicating a push message with another communication apparatus, comprises an obtaining unit configured to obtain time information to synchronize a period in which processing related to the push message is possible with the other communication apparatus; and a communication unit configured to execute, during a period of processing in which the processing related to the push message is possible and which is specified based on the time information obtained by the obtaining unit, push message communication with the other communication apparatus.
Abstract:
An event generated in a communication apparatus is sensed. Whether a communication partner apparatus exists in the effective range of a communication unit is detected in accordance with the sensed event. When it is detected that the communication partner apparatus exists in the effective range of the communication unit, application information about an application that operates in the communication partner apparatus is obtained. Activation information including identification information indicating an application to be activated in the communication partner apparatus, and execution information to be executed by the application is transmitted to the communication partner apparatus via the communication unit, based on the obtained application information.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus for performing a communication parameter configuration process as one of a communication parameter providing apparatus and a communication parameter receiving apparatus, comprises: a first reception unit adapted to receive a communication parameter from another communication apparatus; and an enabling unit adapted to enable a communication parameter providing function for providing a communication parameter to another communication apparatus, after the communication parameter is received.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a detection means for detecting one of position and density information of a detection image based on a signal corresponding to a difference between a value of a detection signal corresponding to a first position of one of the detection image on a image carrier and a surface of the image carrier and an average value of a value of the detection signal corresponding to a second position on a downstream side with respect to the first position in a moving direction of the detection image and a value of the detection signal corresponding to a third position on an upstream side with respect to the first position in the moving direction during a time when the detection image formed on the image carrier passes through an irradiation region of the irradiation means.
Abstract:
In a communication control method for wireless communication between a first communication device and a second communication device through a wireless communication unit, identification information is notified from the second communication device to the first communication device by using a communication unit other than the wireless communication unit. Wireless communication between the first and second communication devices is performed by the wireless communication unit using the first communication parameter shared in advance, and authentication processing based on identification information is performed. When authentication is acquired by this authentication processing, the second communication parameter to be set with respect to a wireless communication unit is shared by the first and second communication devices through the above wireless communication. Parameters for wireless communication between the first and second communication devices are set in the wireless communication unit by using the second communication parameter shared in this manner.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a foreground image based on an object region including a predetermined object in a captured image for generating a virtual viewpoint image and a background image based on a region different from the object region in the captured image, wherein the obtained foreground image and the obtained background image having different frame rates, and an output unit configured to output the foreground image and the background image which are obtained by the obtaining unit and which are associated with each other.
