An image processing apparatus generates a learning model for making an image high definition using teacher data selected from among a plurality of teacher data which use an image included in the first image group as one of a pair of images. The image processing apparatus calculates a degree of similarity between a current image selected as a high definition target from a second image group and a previous image which is a high definition target previous to the current image, infers high frequency components of the current image using the generated learning model when the degree of similarity is equal to or less than a threshold, and infers high frequency components of a current image using a learning model used to make the previous image high definition when the degree of similarity is greater than the threshold.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method and storage medium

A system includes a plurality of communication apparatuses grouped into groups, a delivery apparatus that delivers content to the communication apparatuses that belong to the groups, and a communication control apparatus that performs grouping. The communication control apparatus acquires transmittability of the delivery apparatus, acquires transmittability of the communication apparatuses, and acquires bit rates of the content, and the grouping unit determines total transmittability of the communication apparatuses of each of the groups and a total of the bit rates, and performs grouping such that either higher one of the total transmittability and the total bit rate does not exceed transmittability of the communication apparatuses of a group in a higher hierarchical level.

Communication control apparatus, communication apparatus, control methods thereof, and system

A communication apparatus comprises: at least one processor or circuit configured to perform operations of following units: a communication unit configured to establish a connection with an external device for communication; and a control unit configured to control, in accordance with information pertaining to a connection request received from a second external device while a connection is established with a first external device, whether or not to cause the communication unit to establish a connection with the second external device instead of the first external device, wherein the control unit causes a connection to be established with the second external device in a case where the information pertaining to the connection request includes information shared in advance with the second external device instead of predetermined information specifying a device to be connected.

Communication apparatus capable of switching connection to external apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

A communication apparatus which, in a process for establishing a wireless communication, lowers power consumption and at the same time, saves a user from having to perform operation. A first communication unit receives a signal sent from an external apparatus using a first communication system. A second communication unit communicates with another communication apparatus different from the external apparatus using a second communication system different from the first communication system. When the signal received from the external apparatus by the first communication unit is a signal from a predetermined external apparatus, control is provided to send a signal for starting a communication unit of the other communication apparatus, which carries out communications using the first communication system, to the other communication apparatus using the second communication unit. The first communication system may be Wireless Lan (LAN), the second communication system may be Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

An image processing apparatus comprises an image obtaining unit configured to obtain an omnidirectional image, a traveling direction obtaining unit configured to obtain information on a traveling direction of an image capturing apparatus when the omnidirectional image was shot, and a processing unit configured to perform processing of panoramic expansion on the omnidirectional image obtained by the image obtaining unit, based on the information on the traveling direction obtained with the traveling direction obtaining unit, such that an image portion corresponding to the traveling direction is positioned at a horizontal center in a panoramically expanded image, wherein the processing unit performs processing of panoramic expansion in accordance with change in the traveling direction in a case where the traveling direction changes while shooting the omnidirectional image that is a moving image.

Image processing apparatus and control method of the same

There is provided a recording apparatus. An output unit outputs a clock signal to a storage device. A communication unit outputs, to the storage device, a write command and data to be written in accordance with the clock signal in order to write the data into the storage device, and receives data for a response to the write command from the storage device in accordance with a timing signal. A generating unit generates the timing signal by delaying the clock signal. A detecting unit detects an error regarding the data received by the communication unit. A control unit carries out an adjustment process on a delay amount in the timing signal in response to the detecting unit detecting an error.

Recording apparatus and control method for recording apparatus

A communication apparatus includes a communication unit configured to connect with an external apparatus via communication, and a control unit configured to control the communication, wherein the control unit controls, if the communication unit receives a search request including information indicating that an external apparatus satisfying a predetermined condition is a transmission source via communication, the communication unit so as to transmit a search request designating the communication apparatus as the transmission source to another apparatus via communication, wherein the control unit controls the communication unit so as to receive a search response replying to the search request designating the communication apparatus as the transmission source via communication, and wherein the control unit controls the communication unit so as to transmit information corresponding to the search response received by the communication unit to the external apparatus via communication.

Communication apparatus capable of mediating wireless communications for external apparatus

In a recording apparatus, a generating unit generates a timing signal by delaying a clock signal. A control unit controls so that a predetermined command is output multiple times to a storage device and each piece of data sent by the storage device in response to the multiple predetermined commands is received in accordance with the timing signal having a different delay amount for each of the multiple predetermined commands. A detection unit detects, in order of the delay amounts, a range of the delay amounts of the timing signals for which predetermined data has been successfully received. A setting unit sets, in a case where a plurality of the ranges have been detected by the detection unit, a single delay amount in a single predetermined range among the plurality of ranges, as the delay amount of the timing signal.
