An information processing apparatus includes reproduction control means for controlling reproduction of a first parameter in order to reproduce an edit applied to a first image, generation means for generating a second parameter from a plurality of first parameters reproduced by the reproduction control means, and edit means for editing the first image based on the second parameter generated by the generation means, and generating a second image.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and recording medium

An image processing apparatus may include a feature quantity extraction unit configured to extract a feature quantity from an image, a setting unit configured to set setting information including a plurality of setting items used to perform processing upon the image so that a designated setting item can be changed among the setting items; and a recording unit configured to associate the setting information with a feature quantity of the image and record them.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain feature quantities of an image; and a detector configured to detect a gazing point at which a user gazes within the image, wherein the gazing point detected by the detector among the feature quantities obtained by the obtaining unit or the feature quantities extracted from the image in a predetermined range containing the gazing point is stored.

Information processing apparatus and method, and program

A remote control system is provided. The remote control system includes at least one first remote control apparatus and at least one second remote control apparatus. The at least one first remote control apparatus includes a command input unit, a first control unit, and a first output unit. The at least one second remote control apparatus includes a first user interface unit, a first input unit, a second control unit, and a second output unit.

Remote control system and remote control signal processing method

In a content reproduction system including a plurality of content reproduction apparatuses, at least one of the plurality of content reproduction apparatuses may include a reproducing unit configured to reproduce content by reading out content data recorded in a recording medium, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the content data representing the content being reproduced by the reproducing unit by way of wireless communication, and each of the other apparatuses of the plurality of content reproduction apparatuses may include a receiving unit configured to receive the transmitted content data, and a reproducing unit configured to decode the content data received by the receiving unit and reproduce the content.

Content reproduction system, content reproduction apparatus and content reproduction method

An image processing apparatus may include a feature value extraction unit adapted to extract a feature value from an image, a setting unit adapted to set setting-information defining a process to be performed on the image, an editing unit adapted to edit the setting-information set by the setting unit, and recording unit adapted to record the setting-information edited by the editing unit, in association with the feature value of the image, on a data recording medium.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, storage medium, and program

An image processing apparatus includes a feature value extractor configured to extract a feature value from an image; a setting unit configured to set setting information for applying a process to the image; and a recorder configured to record the setting information in association with the feature value of the image in a data recording medium.

Image processing apparatus and method, data recording medium, program recording medium, and program therefor

A signal processing device controls a plurality of signal processing units that process an input signal inputted via a signal line with wide bandwidth, via a control line with narrow bandwidth or the signal line, and includes: a storing unit configured to store correspondence information that associates instruction information indicating an instruction of control with respect to each of the signal processing units, with control information related to all of the plurality of signal processing units, among pieces of control information necessary for each of the signal processing units to execute content of control; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the control information associated with the instruction information by the correspondence information, to the plurality of signal processing units via the signal line, when control is instructed with respect to the plurality of signal processing units.

Signal processing device and control method, signal processing method, program, and signal processing system

An image processing system includes an image capturing apparatus, and an image processing apparatus. The image capturing apparatus is configured to capture an image including an object, to obtain status information of the object, and to record the image and the status information of the object. The image processing apparatus is configured to specify details of a modification to be applied to the image according to the recorded image and status information of the object, to set setting information for modifying the image on the basis of the details of the modification, to extract a feature value from the image, and to record the setting information in a setting-information recording medium in association with the extracted feature value of the image.

Image processing system and method therefor, image processing apparatus and method, image capturing apparatus and method, program recording medium, and program

A signal transmitting/receiving system and method, signal transmitting apparatus and method, signal processing apparatus and method, recording medium, and program are provided. A signal transmitting/receiving system includes a transmitter configured to transmit signals; and a receiver configured to receive the signals transmitted from the transmitter. The transmitter transmits signals using a first signal having an edge at a position that is 1/n from the beginning of a unit segment and a second signal having an edge at a position of (n&#x2212;1)/n from the beginning of a unit segment, where n is an integer greater than or equal to three, one of the first signal and the second signal representing logic '0' and the other representing logic '1'. The receiver determines a signal type based on a length of an edge interval of either rising edges or falling edges of the signals received.

Signal transmitting/receiving system and method, signal transmitting apparatus and method, signal processing apparatus and method, recording medium, and program for transmitting/receiving signals unaffected by other apparatuses

A control portion decides whether received transmission data is destined for the processing board itself, based on a board ID included in a beginning header of the headers separated from the transmission data. If such is the case, a signal-processing portion processes an image signal separated from the transmission data or directly input, based on processing information (command and control parameter) included in the beginning header. A header generation portion generates a header to be combined with a processed image signal, based on the processing information included in the header. The header is combined with the image data to obtain transmission data. The processing board determines a transmission destination by itself.
