Abstract:
An imaging processing device includes an image acquisition unit, a character region estimation unit, and an output unit. The character region estimation unit determines a line indicating a direction in which characters are arranged with high probability in the acquired image and estimates a character region candidate in which characters are arranged with high probability. The output unit outputs information of the region estimated in the character region estimation unit. The character region estimation unit includes a vertical line detector, a horizontal line detector, a color distribution detector, and a character region candidate line determination unit. The image processing device includes an association imaging mode to cause a user to shoot an image of the character region candidate.

Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a storage, a communication unit, an image processor and a communication controller. The imaging unit generates first image data. The communication unit performs data communications between a first external apparatus and a second external apparatus. The image processor generates second image data based on the first image data. The communication controller controls communications via the communication unit. The communications includes transmission of the second image data to the first external apparatus in response to a first request. The communications includes transmission of image data related to the first image data to the second external apparatus in accordance with a second request.
Abstract:
An information recording apparatus, comprising: an information input unit configured to acquire audio data and/or image data; a tamper prevention unit that applies tamper prevention processing to the audio data and/or image data; and a controller that records, in a recording unit, both audio data and/or image data to which the tamper prevention processing is applied by the tamper prevention unit and audio data and/or image data to which the tamper prevention processing is not applied, if a predetermined condition is satisfied.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of image data obtained by imaging a same subject; a saturation enhancement unit configured to execute saturation enhancement processing of enhancing saturation of at least a partial area of each of the plurality of image data; and a composite image generation unit configured to compare corresponding areas in the plurality of image data after the saturation enhancement processing to select an area having the highest saturation, and execute composition processing of generating composite image data formed of the selected area.
Abstract:
A situation comprehending apparatus included in an imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring section, a structure specifying section, a distance acquiring section, a main subject specifying section, and a main subject distance distribution determining section. The image acquiring section acquires an image of a target scene. The structure specifying section specifies a structure having linear image information in a far or near direction of the target scene or in a direction perpendicular to the far or near direction. The distance acquiring section acquires a distance to a structure straight line included in the structure. The main subject specifying section specifies a main subject different from the structure included in the image. The main subject distance distribution determining section determines distance distribution to the main subject with use of an image of the structure and an image of the main subject.
Abstract:
An editing apparatus includes an image analyzing section that analyzes a recorded video, a sound analyzing section that analyzes recorded sound, and a display control section that displays, on a display section, on the basis of an analysis result of the image analyzing section, a video bar indicator corresponding to a reproduction time of the recorded video and displays, on the display section, on the basis of an analysis result of the sound analyzing section, a sound bar indicator corresponding to a reproduction time of the recorded sound, the sound bar indicator having a time per unit length same as a time per unit length of the video bar indicator. The editing apparatus facilitates editing combination work for the video and the sound by arranging and displaying the video and the sound on time axes of the same scale.
Abstract:
