Embodiments of the present invention improve the production efficiency of a perpendicular recording medium while ensuring the scratch resistance thereof. In order to realize high production stability in the high speed production of perpendicular recording media, a target is not provided with a texture of a low melting point or the ratio thereof is decreased. Thus according to one embodiment of the present invention, upon forming a layer having an element of a low melting point in the constituent layers of a perpendicular recording medium, a target can be made using an alloy powder previously formed of an intermetallic compound having a melting point higher than 660° C., thereby preventing thermal deformation.

An image processing apparatus sets the pixels of an input image as process target pixels by using low pass filters (LPF #1—1 to LPF #1—n) each having different level value ranges, computes the average values of the pixels included in the level value ranges from the pixels of the input image including process target pixels included within the filter sizes of the low pass filters, generates level-value-limited smoothed images #1 limited by the level values, generates level-value-limited smoothed images #2 by using low pass filters (LPF #2—1 to LPF #2—n) each having level value ranges or filter sizes different from those of LPF #1—1 to LPF #1—n, selects either of the level-value-limited smoothed images #1 or the level-value-limited smoothed images #2 on the basis of the process target pixels and level values different from the level values utilized by LPFs, synthesizes the selected level-value-limited smoothed images, and generates a smoothed image.

摘要:
A display device separates a size-reduced image into a plurality of sub-areas in such a manner that a sub-area farther away from the light sources becomes wider than a sub-area closer to the light sources; compares, in each of the sub-areas, the luminance values of each pixel in a direction perpendicular to the array direction; and selects a pixel having the greatest luminance value, thereby creating line information. The display device then compares a light distribution that is a synthesis of light radiation patterns of the light sources with a luminance distribution indicated by each line information and then adjusts the emission intensity of each of the light sources.
