Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct blurring due to camera shaking or defocus. SOLUTION: An H_init generation part 21 generates a point spread function representing the degree of blurring caused in an input image according to feature points detected on a cepstrum from the input image. A U_init generation part 34 generates a structure representing an image obtained by resizing the input image down and then up according to the point spread function. An H generation part 26 to a corr part 31 and a U generation part 35 execute an updating process of updating at least either the point spread function or the structure such that the point spread function and the structure approximate to a true value. The updating process is repeated with, of structure and texture components making up the updated structure, the structure component set as a new update target structure, and the updated point spread function set as a new update target. The technique is applicable, for example, to a recording and reproducing apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly control a video camera connected via a network or the like. SOLUTION: A personal computer 5 refers to information transmitted from a workstation 3 to detect current sate of a video camera 1; and when a command to control the video camera 1 is entered from a mouse 7, the personal computer 5 refers to the information transmitted from the workstation 3 and the command entered from the mouse 7, to predict an image supposed to be photographed by the video camera 1, when the command is executed and displays it on a CRT monitor 6. The user refers to the image displayed on the CRT monitor 6, and when the user executes the previously entered command, he or she performs operation that instructs execution of the command. Accordingly, the previously entered command is transmitted to the workstation 3 via the internet 4, and the video camera 1 and a pan/tilter 2 are controlled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To respond to an operation on a touch panel precisely and quickly. SOLUTION: In Step S1, each switch is switched to a state to measure a vertical coordinate of a pressed position. In Step S2, an electric potential input from one resistive film is AD-converted consecutively for the nth time. In Step S3, each switch is switched to a state to measure a horizontal coordinate of the pressed position. In Step S4, an electric potential input from the other resistive film is AD-converted consecutively for the nth time. In Step S5, whether the digitized electric potentials settle sufficiently or not is determined. If sufficient settling is determined, in Step S6, the vertical and horizontal coordinates are computed according to the digitized electric potentials. If insufficient settling is determined, in Step S8, the digitized electric potentials are discarded. The technique is applicable to a PDA, a personal computer and the like.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attach and detach a battery in an optional time without loss of data. SOLUTION: To remove a removable main battery 162, a battery lid 71 and a removing handle 81 must be operated. In other words, even if a user opens the battery lid 17 by mistake, the main battery 162 never drops out of a body part 12 in that instance. When the user intentionally removes the main battery 162, short time is spent by the portion of operating the removable handle 81 between the opening of the battery lid 17 and the removal of the main battery 162 from the body part 13 after opening the battery lid 71. An emergency shutdown processing is executed in this short time. This method is applicable to a PDA or the like. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce costs by reducing a circuit scale in the case of the A/D conversion of the signals of plural video formats, such as D terminal. SOLUTION: In the case of inputting the analog video signals of the plural video formats, the video signal of an SDTV is sampled by the frequency which is almost the same as that of the dot clock of the video signal of an HDTV so that an analog low pass filter required as the preprocessing of A/D conversion is also used for the HDTV. The number of horizontal pixels in digitizing the video signal of the SDYV is made to be common with the number of the horizontal pixels of the video signal of the HDTV, the number of the pixels can be converted using a common filter. The noise component of frequencies equal to or higher than the dot clocks can be removed by the filter in the conversion of the number of the pixels.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly process information multiplexed by plural multiplexing methods. SOLUTION: A channel selection task 72 allows an API 81 to load a detection microcode to a transport stream processing part 25. The processing part 25 detects a stream on the basis of the microcode and outputs a stream detection signal to an interruption handier 83, which outputs a semaphore signal to the task 72 on the basis of the stream detection signal. The task 72 allows the API 81 to output a viewing microcode to the processing part 25. The processing part 25 acquires program specification information on the basis of the microcode, transfers the information to a memory 28 and outputs a transfer completion interruption signal to a software driver 71. The handier 83 outputs a transfer completion semaphore signal to the task 72. The task 72 analyzes the program specification information read out from the memory 28 and allows the processing part 25 to outputs a program list.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize with a comparatively simple method an object tracking device which is wide in tracking range and superior in tracking response. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a high-speed narrow area universal head 1-3 that tracks an object at a comparatively high-speed with a narrow moving range, a low-speed wide area universal head 1-4 that tracks an object at a comparatively low speed with a wide moving range as a means of changing a photographing direction, an object recognition section 1-5 by which the high- speed narrow area universal head 1-3 and the low-speed wide area universal head 1-4 are coordinated, an adder 1-6, controller 1-7, 1-8 and a subtractor 1-9, which are coordinate means. Since the low-speed wide area universal head that has a wide tracking range and a slow response speed and the high-speed narrow area universal head that has a narrow tracking range but a high response speed utilize the advantages and compensate for the disadvantages, the object tracking device with a wide tracking range and superior response tracking performance can be realized easily.
