摘要： An echo canceller formed of an adaptive filter is designed such that even under a condition where a system transmission delay is undefined, an appropriate delay time can be set in a delay circuit that absorbs a system delay, and that an effective echo cancellation effect can always be achieved. A time difference of a transmission path until a reproduction audio signal input to the delay circuit is input as a processing target signal of an adaptive filter system through a space between a speaker and a microphone is determined, and the delay time corresponding to this time difference is set in the delay circuit. At this time, the speaker and the microphone are placed so that the distance therebetween is small, and the delay time of the delay circuit is set to 0. Thus, the determined time difference indicates a system transmission delay in the above transmission path. That is, an accurate delay time corresponding to the system transmission delay can be set in the delay circuit.

摘要： This technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program, which enable easier addition of an effect to a moving image.In a portable terminal device, an ambient environmental sound and a voice uttered by a user are picked up by different sound pickup units when the moving image is shot. A keyword detecting unit detects a keyword determined in advance from the voice uttered by the user and an effect generating unit generates an image effect and a sound effect associated with the detected keyword. Then, an effect adding unit superposes the generated image effect on the shot moving image and synthesizes the generated sound effect with the environmental sound, thereby applying image effects and sound effects to the moving image. According to the portable terminal device, it is possible to easily add a desired effect to the moving image only by uttering the keyword while shooting the moving image. This technology may be applied to a mobile phone.
