An example of a controller calculates the orientation of the controller based on an output from an inertial sensor, and when a value representing the calculated orientation satisfies a first condition, compresses data in a mode 2, and when the first condition is not satisfied, but a second condition is satisfied, compresses the data in a mode 1, and when the second condition is not satisfied, compresses the data in a mode 0. Then, the controller transmits the compressed data to another apparatus.

Low spatial frequencies of an original image and an upscaled filtered image are analyzed. Differences will be observed in the low frequency components of the two images in the general case since the pixel art upscaler filter as a side effect introduces low frequency changes. A modification to images produced by the PAU is applied to attempt to match the brightness of the original images in the low frequency spectrum. From a viewer perspective (e.g., based on typical blurring visual effects), the original image and the modified filtered image will look the same&#x2014;demonstrating that there is no low frequency brightness creep or resulting increased photosensitivity concerns.

Real time compensation of the colorimetry of an image projected on a non-uniform projection surface is disclosed. The projected image is captured and coefficients of a simplified model of the projection surface are estimated by minimizing the distance between the captured image and a target image obtained from the original image.

An HMD includes an attitude calculating unit, an attitude correcting unit, an image generating unit, and a display control unit. The attitude calculating unit may calculate a first attitude of the HMD based on an angular rate detected by an angular rate sensor. The attitude correcting unit may correct the first attitude to calculate a second attitude, based on an acceleration detected by an accelerometer and a rotation amount per predetermined time of the HMD. The image generating unit may generate an image according to the second attitude. The display control unit may cause a display to display the image.

In an example display device for displaying a stereoscopic image, plural stereoscopic pixels composed of pixels for right eye and pixels for left eye are arranged in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. A parallax barrier according to a vertical display mode or a horizontal display mode is formed. The pixel for right eye and the pixel for left eye each include at least one sub pixel for each of red, blue, and green. In the vertical display mode, sub pixels at first intervals in the horizontal direction are not allowed to emit color lights, and sub pixels at second intervals in the vertical direction are allowed to emit color lights. In the horizontal display mode, sub pixels at second intervals in the vertical direction are not allowed to emit color lights, and sub pixels at first intervals in the horizontal direction are allowed to emit color lights.

The present invention concerns a method and a device for estimating the value of an input in a real-time system. It concerns more particularly real time interactive systems where the input is tracked using a first sensor, typically a camera in presence of a perturbing factor. The perturbing factor is estimated using a second sensor. The component of input computed values due to the perturbing factor are cancelled based on this estimation. A next input value is then estimated from the previous computed input values where the perturbing factor has been cancelled. The estimation is then corrected by applying back the estimation of the perturbing factor.

The proposed solution is a calibration process for a dynamic auto-stereoscopic 3D device using an image capture by the camera of the device of the auto-stereoscopic screen through a reflecting surface. The process may also compute the horizontal phase of the parallax barrier.

An example information processing apparatus including an infrared light emitter capable of emitting infrared light and a camera capable of at least taking an infrared light image is provided. In the information processing apparatus, first, an image taken by use of the camera is obtained. A face detection process based on the image is repeatedly executed. Then, based on a result of the face detection process, emission of the infrared light is stopped and emission of the infrared light is resumed after a lapse of a predetermined time period.

An example information processing apparatus including an infrared light emitter capable of emitting infrared light and a camera capable of at least taking an infrared light image is provided. In the information processing apparatus, when face detection has been successful with the infrared light emitted, emission of the infrared light is stopped, and a face detection process with the emission stopped is executed. As a result, when face detection has been successful, the face detection process is continued with emission of the infrared light stopped, and when face detection has been failure, the infrared light is emitted and the face detection process is continued.
