摘要： In a robot operation terminal, a storage unit has a group-belonging article table that indicates articles belonging to each of groups. Upon receipt of operation information indicating an operation to be instructed to the robot through an input unit, when this operation information specifies a group as its operation subject, a conversion unit converts this group to articles belonging to the group in the operation information by reference to the group-belonging article table. Thus, the instruction of an operation is made simpler, thereby reducing the occurrence of a human error.

摘要： A plurality of block pairs are set by setting two of the rectangular blocks contained in one template as one block pair. A score showing a degree to which a part of an object is included in the template is held based on a relation of a relative level between block luminance values in each of the block pairs set in the template. These processes are carried out for all templates. Based on a sum of the scores of all the templates, and whether the object is included in the image is determined.

摘要： To provide an imaging region adjustment device, including plural camera terminals, capable of imaging an entire imaging target without blinds spots. Each of the camera terminals includes a camera (201) which images a virtual imaging region obtained while changing the position of an imaging region within a specific region in a specific period of time and an adjusting unit B (204) which adjusts the position of the virtual imaging region by controlling the camera (201).

摘要： According to the invention, a motion vector can be accurately and efficiently detected with regard to any type of images having a variety of characteristics. A motion vector detection unit detects a motion vector with regard to a coding target block on the basis of correlation with a candidate block within a search range. A search range storing memory stores pixel data of an original search range, and supplies, to the motion vector detection unit, pixel data of a search range in accordance with a memory address. A control unit sets the size and the position of the search range on the basis of the motion vector and the correlation evaluation value supplied from the motion vector detection unit, and generates pixel widths in the horizontal and vertical directions of the search range and an offset value corresponding to the relative position to the original search range. An address generation unit generates the memory address to be supplied to the search range storing memory on the basis of the pixel widths and the offset value of the search range generated by the control unit.

摘要： In detecting a motion vector, sub-sampling is more selectively and adaptively set in terms of power consumption and detection performance. A correlation calculation section includes a plurality of correlation calculation blocks, each calculating correlation between a block to be coded and an associated candidate block within a search range. Each correlation calculation block is supplied with a different group of pixels of the block to be coded and an associated group of pixels of the associated candidate block, and calculates the correlation between the two groups of pixels supplied. A control section selectively sets sub-sampling in accordance with image feature information such as the frequency components of the block to be coded or operating state information such as the power left in a battery. And, in accordance with the setting of sub-sampling, the control section selectively operates part or all of the correlation calculation blocks of the correlation calculation section.
