Abstract:
A representative-value calculator calculates a representative value of signal values of pixels included in each of divided regions of a neighboring region of a pixel of interest. The divided regions are obtained by dividing the neighboring region into the predetermined number of divisions. The number of divisions is determined based on a frequency band in an input image signal. A difference-absolute-value calculator calculates a difference absolute value between a signal value of the pixel of interest and each of the representative values of the respective divided regions. A weight calculator calculates a weight for each of the representative values of the respective divided regions according to the difference absolute value. A normalization processor normalizes the sum of products of the representative values of the respective divided regions and the weights for the representative values of the respective divided region.
Abstract:
An image processing device includes an image correction unit which receives a synthesized image and pseudo color pixel information indicating a pseudo color pixel position included in the synthesized image and executes pixel value correction. The image correction unit selects non-pseudo color pixels as reference pixels from a reference region set in a surrounding region of the pixel to be corrected, sets a similarity weight coefficient in which a large weight is set as a pixel value of the reference pixel that is close to a pixel value of the pixel to be corrected and a pixel position weight coefficient in which a large weight is set as the pixel value of the reference pixel that is near a pixel position of the pixel to be corrected, with respect to the reference pixels, and determines a correction pixel value of the pixel to be corrected by a weighted summation process.
Abstract:
An electronic-component conveying apparatus that conveys an electronic component by holding the electronic component in a through hole provided in a conveying table of the apparatus, in which the electronic component can be quickly and reliably dismounted from the through hole by using compressed gas, and undesired popout of the electronic component due to a residual pressure infrequently occurs, whereby the efficiency in the conveying process can be increased. A workpiece conveying apparatus includes a blowhole opening in a conveying surface of a conveying stage and configured such that an electronic component held in a through hole is dismounted by using compressed gas at a position where the through hole overlaps the blowhole while a conveying table is driven, a vacuum groove communicating with the blowhole and provided in a first surface of the conveying table, and an auxiliary blowhole connected to a compressed-gas supply device and opening in the conveying surface such as to be accessible to the vacuum groove.

Abstract:
An image processing device generates a high-resolution image from a plurality of low-resolution images, in which the high-resolution image has a resolution higher than a resolution of the low-resolution images. The image processing device includes a reference image setting portion for selecting a reference image from the plurality of low-resolution images based on image information of the plurality of low-resolution images. The image processing device generates the high-resolution image by performing a resolution increasing process on the plurality of low-resolution images for increasing a resolution with respect to the reference image.
Abstract:
A workpiece conveying apparatus for conveying a workpiece disposed in a through hole in a conveying table allows the workpiece to be reliably dismounted from the through hole using compressed gas, suppresses the workpiece from unintentionally jumping out because of residual pressure of the compressed air, and increases the conveying efficiency. In an electronic-component conveying apparatus, a conveying table is arranged to face a conveying surface of a conveying stage, with an electronic component disposed in a through hole in the conveying table. When the conveying table is rotated, the electronic component is conveyed. The conveying surface has an exhaust hole at a position where the electronic component is to be dismounted. The total area of the opening of the exhaust hole in the conveying table is larger than the area of the surface of the electronic component facing the conveying surface of the conveying stage.

Abstract:
Based on, for example, the image at the start of a movie, a thumbnail image is tentatively generated and is stored in a header file. If a predetermined triggering condition is fulfilled during movie shooting, a thumbnail image is generated from the frame image at the timing that the triggering condition is fulfilled, and the thumbnail image existing in the header file is replaced with the newly generated thumbnail image. The triggering condition is fulfilled, for example, if, after zooming-in, the angle of view has been kept fixed for a predetermined period or longer, or if the focus has been kept locked for a predetermined period.
