A distribution management apparatus includes a generator configured to generate still-picture data from content data, a converter configured to convert the still-picture data into video data, and a distributer configured to distribute the video data to each of a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal, which are capable of playing back and displaying the video data. When first operation data indicating an operation of zooming into a partial region of the video data being played back and displayed on the first communication terminal is transmitted, the converter generates video data representing a partial region, which depends on display/playback capabilities of the second communication terminal, of the video data being played back and displayed on the first communication terminal, and the distributer distributes the video data representing the partial region generated by the converter to the second communication terminal.

An image processing apparatus includes a selecting unit that selects a plurality of strokes from among strokes drawn in a plurality of display images displayed in a switching manner, in accordance with attributes added to the strokes, and a generating unit that generates an image in which the selected strokes are arranged according to an arrangement rule set in advance.

Image processing apparatus, computer program product, and image processing system

An image processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit that acquires an image; an information acquiring unit that acquires image information indicative of a content of the image; and a correcting unit that corrects the image based on the image information such that some of warping of the image is left. The horizontal direction component of the warping may be completely or nearly completely eliminated while a predetermined portion of a vertical direction component of the warping is left, when the image information indicates the content of the image is a person. Alternatively, there is an analyzer which generates the image information indicating that the content of the image is a erson when the analyzing determines that the image contains two or more persons.

An image display apparatus acquires a high-quality image by suppressing positional fluctuation of projected dots due to a positional offset of an optical path deflecting element. A spatial light modulation element () displays an image by projecting a light from an illumination light source. A projection optical system () enlarges and projects the image formed on the spatial light modulation element (). An optical path deflecting element () is provided between the spatial light modulation element () and the image formed on a screen () so as to deflect an optical path in accordance with a screen frame period. The optical path deflecting element () shifts the optical path for the image projected on the screen () at a high rate so as to apparently increase a number of picture elements. The optical path deflecting element () is located within the projection optical system.
