A filter coefficient calculating unit 81 sets as a filter window a range, which contains plural coordinates including an attention coordinate “p” in an initial alpha map, and uses a pixel value Ip at a coordinate of an original image corresponding to a coordinate “p” in the filter window and a pixel value Iq at a coordinate of the original image corresponding to a coordinate “q” in the filter window to calculate a filter coefficient Kq at the coordinate “q” on a coordinate to coordinate basis in the filter window. That is, a filter coefficient set is created, which consists of filter coefficients calculated on a coordinate to coordinate basis in the filter window. A weighted-average filtering unit 83 uses the filter coefficient set to apply a weighted-average filtering operation on each pixel value in the filter window.

A high-frequency integrator acquires a first integrated value by integrating a high-frequency component of first image data. A corrector handles second image data, which is obtained when an image processor subjects the first image data to an image process affecting frequency characteristics, and acquires a second integrated value by correcting the first integrated value acquired by the high-frequency integrator in accordance with a change in the frequency characteristics that is brought about by the image process. An encoder calculates, in accordance with the second integrated value acquired by the corrector, a quantization scale for compressing the second image data acquired by the image processor to a predefined number of bytes at once, and compresses the second image data accordingly.

The present invention is intended to permit both real-time display of a picture represented by a non-compressed video signal on a television and display of a picture represented by a compressed video signal at any desired time by simultaneously transmitting the compressed video signal and non-compressed video signal via one interface. An STB packetizes a compressed video signal, and multiplexes the compressed video signal and a blanking signal combined with a non-compressed video signal. Thus, both the video signals are transmitted simultaneously. A picture represented by the non-compressed video signal is displayed on a television in real time. The compressed video signal is stored in a storage medium incorporated in the television, read at any user's desired time, and decoded so that a picture represented by the compressed video signal can be viewed at the user's desired time.

Method, apparatus and system for generating media content

Номер: US20120251082A1

Автор: Daniel CLARKE, Kurt DE VOS, Philip Marivoet, Vanessa Schelkens

Принадлежит: Sony Corp, Sony Europe Ltd

A method of generating media content is described which comprises capturing still or moving image content items at a capture device and uploading the captured image content items and image content metadata indicating a time of capture of each of the image content items to a network. A playback log indicating playback times of audio content items listened to by the user of the capture device is stored. One or more of the captured image content items is correlated with one or more portions of the playback log based on the time of capture indicated by the metadata relating to the one or more captured content items and the playback times indicated by the playback log. A media output is generated as a collection of a plurality of the captured image content items stored at the network accompanied by audio content related to the portion of the playback log which is correlated with the captured image content items in the collection. In this way, a media output can be generated at a network, such as a cloud network, from user generated image content and commercial audio content which the user who captured the image content was listening to at the time the image content was captured.

Orientation-based generation of panoramic fields

Номер: US20120300019A1

Автор: Dahey Yoo, William X. Yang

Принадлежит: Microsoft Corp

A field sensor may be capable of generating a panoramic field, e.g., by instructing the user to capture a sequence of fields of the panorama, performing a field evaluation to identify one or more landmarks depicted in overlapping areas of two contiguous fields, performing a field registration therebetween, and stitching together the panoramic field. However, panoramic field stitching based on field evaluation may fail to register two fields accurately or at all. Rather, panoramic field stitching may be performed using a device having an orientation sensor that detects the orientation of the device while capturing each field with a field sensor. The detected orientation may be used to orient the fields within a projection, from which a panoramic field may be accurately stitched. Additional variations include stitching together projections of the panorama captured at different times and utilizing fields captured at a distance from the root location of the panorama.
