A moving-image similarity determination device includes an acquiring unit that acquires a frame included in moving image data obtained by encoding a moving image including a plurality of images, the frame corresponding to an individual image of the plurality of images; a calculating unit that calculates a feature value indicating complexity of an original image of the frame based on a data amount of the frame acquired by the acquiring unit and on a quantization step used upon encoding; an accumulating unit that accumulates the feature value calculated for each image by the calculating unit; and a determining unit that that determines whether two moving images are similar to each other by comparing the feature values accumulated by the accumulating unit.

A data distribution system can select paths easily with flexibility when paths are generated. In the data distribution system, a management device includes a node bandwidth information acquisition unit to acquire and hold information on data transmission-enabled bandwidth of each of the plurality of nodes on the network; a content rate acquisition unit to acquire and hold a bandwidth for content to be distributed; a bandwidth splitting information acquisition unit to acquire and hold bandwidth splitting information, which is a splitting ratio to split the content to be distributed into a plurality of bandwidths; and a connection destination decision unit to determine a connection destination of the content to be distributed, which is split based on the bandwidth split information being held in the bandwidth splitting information acquisition unit.

A group management device determines a priority level that represents priority order of allowing a participating terminal to preferentially participate in a group, to which the group management device belongs, based on information relating the participating terminal and information relating to terminals that are managed by the group management device only in a case where the group management device receives information relating to the participating terminal, which has transmitted a participation request to the group, to which the group management device belongs. Based on the determined priority level, the group management device determines whether to transmit the participation request to another group management device and whether to reply to the participating terminal.
摘要:
In a multicast distribution system in which terminal devices on a distribution path are hierarchically grouped, a first terminal device which has detected a loss of a receiving packet transmits to a second terminal device located upstream of the first terminal device a retransmission request for a packet retransmission to the first terminal device and a third terminal device which receives a packet first in a group located downstream of a group to which the first terminal device belongs. The second terminal device which has received the retransmission request transmits a retransmission packet to both the first and third terminal devices.

An encoding method for encoding a sequence of image frames, the encoding method includes the steps of: selecting an image frame to be deleted from the plurality of image frames; detecting motion vectors between a pair of image frames that are either previous to and next to the selected image frames; deleting the selected image frame if the detected motion vectors meet a predetermined condition; and encoding remainder of the image frames in which any of the image frames has been deleted by the deleting step.

As a result of performing a comparing and determining process of determining the relationship among the bandwidth of distributed data in real time in a local group, the incoming data bandwidth to the local group, and the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, the increase/decrease management and the connection management of each terminal device in the local group are performed. The comparing and determining process compares, for example, a sum of the total sum of the terminal possessed transfer bandwidths and the incoming data bandwidth from other groups to the local group with a sum of the value obtained by multiplying the bandwidth of distributed data in the local group by the number of terminal devices in the local group, the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, and a predetermined determination margin.

摘要:
A first feature value calculator calculates a feature value of an entire screen, and a second feature value calculator calculates a feature value of only an image area designated by designation data stored in a designation data storage. An interpolation determiner outputs a control signal indicative of interpolation-ON if the two feature values are matched or outputs a control signal indicative of interpolation-OFF if not. A center area interpolator uses a motion vector output from a motion estimator to generate an interpolated image within an image area. Side area interpolator performs process of interpolating a side area of the screen on interpolation-ON and stops the process of interpolating a side area of the screen on interpolation-OFF. Therefore, on interpolation-ON, an interpolated frame interpolating the entire screen is output. On interpolation-OFF, an interpolated frame interpolating only the designated image area is output.
