A processor obtains pieces of coded data, which are included in a bitstream and generated by coding tiles, and tile boundary independence information, which indicates whether each boundary between the tiles is a first or second boundary. Image data of a first tile is generated by decoding a first code string included in first coded data with reference to decoding information of a decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the first boundary, and by decoding the first code string without referring to the decoding information when the tile boundary independence information indicates the second boundary. A bit string is added after the first code string to make a bit length of first coded data a multiple of a predetermined N bits, with N being an integer greater than or equal to 2.

Image coding apparatus for coding tile boundaries

A detection device includes: a detection unit that detects a predetermined non-contact operation by a detection reference; and a control unit that changes the detection reference when the predetermined non-contact operation is not detected by the detection reference.

Detection device and program

An image decoding apparatus obtain pieces of coded data that is included in a bitstream and generated by coding tiles. Tile boundary independence information is further obtained from the bitstream, with the tile boundary independence information indicating whether each of boundaries between the tiles is one of a first boundary or a second boundary. The pieces of coded data are decoded to generate image data of the tiles. Image data of a first tile is generated by decoding a first code string included in first coded data with reference to decoding information of a decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the first boundary, and by decoding the first code string without referring to the decoding information of the decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the second boundary.

A video compression apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire video data including a plurality of frames outputted from an imaging element that has a first imaging region to image a subject and a second imaging region to image a subject and for which a first frame rate can be set for the first imaging region and a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate can be set for the second imaging region; and a compression unit configured to compress the video data acquired by the acquisition unit based on the first frame rate and the second frame rate.

Video compression apparatus, electronic apparatus, and video compression program

Circuity for executing operations is provided. The operations obtain pieces of coded data that is included in a bitstream and generated by coding tiles. The pieces of coded data are decoded to generate image data of the tiles. When the pieces of coded data are obtained, tile boundary independence information is further obtained, which indicates whether each of boundaries between the tiles is one of a first boundary and a second boundary. When the pieces of coded data are decoded, image data of a first tile is generated by decoding a first code string included in first coded data with reference to decoding information of an already-decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the first boundary, and by decoding the first code string without referring to the decoding information of the already-decoded tile when the tile boundary independence information indicates the second boundary.

A video compression apparatus for compressing video data as a series of frames outputted from an imaging element that has a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and for which imaging conditions can be set for the respective imaging regions, includes: a setting unit configured to set, based on a plurality of imaging conditions, a search region within a reference frame used for a processing to detect, based on a compression target region, a specific region in the reference frame; and a generation unit configured to generate, based on the processing using the search region set by the setting unit, the specific region to thereby generate a motion vector.

A detection device that detects an operation by a user on a display in midair, includes: a control unit that changes a positional relationship between a detection reference detecting the operation and the display, wherein: the control unit is capable of changing the positional relationship by user.

Control device, electronic apparatus, control method and program

Circuity for executing operations is provided. The operations divide a picture into tiles. The tiles are coded to generate pieces of coded data, each of which corresponds to a different one of the tiles. A bitstream is generated to include the pieces of coded data. In this regard, the coding of the tiles includes generating a first code string by: coding a first tile with reference to coding information of an already-coded tile neighboring the first tile when a boundary between the first and already-coded tiles is a first boundary; and coding the first tile without reference to the coding information of the already-coded tile when the boundary between the first and already-coded tiles is a second boundary. The bitstream is generated to include tile boundary independence information, which indicates whether each boundary between the tiles is one of the first and second boundaries.

An image encoding method according to an aspect of the present invention includes: generating, from a plurality of first sub-bitstreams which are obtained by encoding a plurality of images on a per layer basis according to spatial scalable image encoding, a second sub-bitstream including two or more first sub-bitstreams corresponding to two or more layers, the two or more first sub-bitstreams being included in the plurality of first sub-bitstreams; and generating a descriptor including a first field indicating a minimum value for two or more layer identifiers indicating the two or more layers and a second field indicating a maximum value for the two or more layer identifiers.

A non-transitory recording medium including a program is provided. The program causes a processor to divide a picture into tiles. The tiles are coded to generate pieces of coded data, each of which corresponds to a different one of the tiles. In this regard, a first tile of the tiles is coded with reference to coding information of an already-coded tile neighboring the first tile when a boundary between the first tile and the already-coded tile is a first boundary. The first tile is coded without reference to the coding information of the already-coded tile when the boundary between the first tile and the already-coded tile is a second boundary. A bitstream including the pieces of coded data is generated. The bitstream includes tile boundary independence information which indicates whether each boundary between the tiles is one of the first boundary and the second boundary.
