Abstract:
A display apparatus and control method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes: a processor configured to process image data of image contents; a display configured to display the image data processed by the processor as an image; a user interface configured to sense a reaction of a user to the image displayed by the display; and a controller configured to determine a preference of the user for the image contents based on the reaction sensed by the user interface. The controller is configured to determine the preference based on an accumulated value of each reaction among a plurality of kinds of reactions generated while the image is displayed and a weight set up corresponding to the reaction. The weight corresponding to the reaction is set up according to genres of the image contents.
Abstract:
To improve the stability of numerical calculation for finding a continuous phase of a pair of signal sequences, provided is a signal processing device (10) wherein a spline calculation unit (13) approximates a pair of signal sequences acquired by a signal acquisition unit (11) by spline functions, and an unwrapping processing unit (18) performs phase unwrapping using polynomials. The phase unwrapping is performed according to a procedure where a polynomial-sequence calculation unit (15) calculates a polynomial sequence by applying a Euclidean algorithm to the polynomials of the spline functions, a sign counting unit (17) checks the number of changes of the sign of a numerical sequence formed by arranging the values of the polynomial sequence in each subinterval where the phase is found, and an unwrapping processing unit (18) determines an indefinite portion that is an integral multiple of π on the basis of the number of changes.

A C12A7 electride thin film fabrication method includes a step of forming an amorphous C12A7 electride thin film on a substrate by vapor deposition under an atmosphere with an oxygen partial pressure of less than 0.1 Pa using a target made of a crystalline C12A7 electride having an electron density within a range of 2.0×1018 cm−3 to 2.3×1021 cm−3.
Abstract:
An apparatus capable of improving the estimation accuracy of information on a subject including a distance up to the subject is provided. According to an environment recognition apparatus 1 of the present invention, a first cost function is defined as a decreasing function of an object point distance Z. Thus, the longer the object point distance Z is, the lower the first cost of a pixel concerned is evaluated. This reduces the contribution of the first cost of a pixel highly probable to have a large measurement or estimation error of the object point distance Z to the total cost C. Thereby, the estimation accuracy of a plane parameter ^q representing the surface position and posture of the subject is improved.
