    摘要: A frame brightness detecting unit 15 detects a frame brightness value of each of a plurality of image frames. A flicker spectrum detecting unit 16 detects, from the frame brightness values of 512 frames, spectrum values at frequencies, such as 100 Hz, 200 Hz, and 300 Hz. A brightness estimating unit 17 estimates a brightens value of a light source from the spectrum values. An encoding unit 18 uses a reciprocal of the estimated brightens value to determine a reference frame. The encoding unit 18 also uses the reciprocal in an evaluation function for motion vector estimation. The image frame is encoded using the motion vector.

    摘要: A dynamically reconfigurable logic circuit device includes a plurality of dynamically reconfigurable processor units (DRPU) arranged in array, and a plurality of dynamically connecting units (DCU). The dynamically connecting units interconnect inputs and outputs of the dynamically reconfigurable processor units. Each of the dynamically reconfigurable processor units includes a plurality of arithmetic processing configurations, a plurality of input data storage units, and a plurality of output data storage units. The arithmetic processing configurations, input data storage units, and output data storage units are both selected and set up in accordance with an interrupting signal from an interrupt controller. Similarly, the interconnection of the dynamically reconfigurable processor units through the dynamically connecting units is performed in accordance with the interrupting signal. The above structure is operable to change input data as well as the arithmetic processing configurations upon the issuance of a request for interrupt from a CPU, and to change the entire logic circuit configuration. As a result, time-division multiplexing is achievable.
