A non oriented electrical steel sheet consists of a silicon steel sheet and an insulation coating. The silicon steel sheet contains Si, Al, and Mn as chemical composition, and an alignment degree to {5 5 7}<7 14 5> orientation in a central area along a thickness direction of the silicon steel sheet is 12 to 35.

A bioinformation acquiring apparatus includes at least one processor and a memory configured to store a program to be executed in the processor. The processor acquires a waveform signal representing vibrations of a target, the vibrations resulting from heartbeats of the target; extracts provisional heartbeat timings from the acquired waveform signal based on a first time window; the provisional heartbeat timings indicating provisional values of heartbeat timings being timings at which the heartbeats of the target occur; acquires corrective peak timings from the acquired waveform signal based on a second time window having a shorter time length than the first time window, each of the corrective peak timings serving as a discrete correction unit for correction of the provisional heartbeat timings; corrects the extracted provisional heartbeat timings into definitive heartbeat timings based on the acquired corrective peak timings; and acquires bioinformation on the heartbeats of the target based on the corrected heartbeat timings.

A bioinformation acquiring apparatus includes at least one processor; and a memory configured to store a program to be executed in the processor. The processor acquires bioinformation in a chronological order; derives outlier level parameters, the outlier level parameter indicating a level of inclusion of outliers of the bioinformation in pieces of bioinformation acquired within a first duration; derives correction terms based on the bioinformation after removal of the outliers of the bioinformation from pieces of bioinformation acquired within a second duration that is longer than the first duration; selects one or both of a first correction procedure and a second correction procedure based on the outlier level parameters, as a correction procedure, the first correction procedure using the correction terms, the second correction procedure involving interpolation irrelevant to the correction terms; and corrects the outliers of the bioinformation within the first duration by the selected correction procedure.

A non-oriented electrical steel sheet includes a silicon steel sheet and an insulation coating. When t is a thickness of the silicon steel sheet and when PDR is defined as (PDR=(maximum&#x2212;minimum)/minimum&#xd7;100) which indicates a ratio concerned with maximum and minimum of number densities of AlN precipitates in three areas which are 1/10t area, &#x2155;t area, and &#xbd;t area from a surface of the silicon steel sheet along a thickness direction, the PDR is 50% or less.

An image creation method, includes: first obtaining a subject image including a subject region; second obtaining skeleton information related to a skeleton of a subject in the subject image obtained by the first obtaining; specifying, based on the skeleton information obtained by the second obtaining, color information of a contour portion of the subject region; and creating a back-side-image, based on the color information of the contour portion of the subject region specified by the specifying, by drawing a subject correspondent region of the back-side image showing a back side of the subject in a pseudo manner.

Image creation method, image creation apparatus and recording medium

A control unit monitors a state of captured image sequentially outputted by an image capturing unit. The control unit carries out a first determination that determines whether or not the state of a captured image satisfies a prescribed condition. When the result is that the prescribed condition is satisfied, the captured image is recorded in a recording unit. The control unit also carries out a second determination that determines whether or not the state of the captured image is appropriate for being subjected to the first determination. When the result is that the state is not appropriate for being subjected to the first determination, a warning is issued to the user to this effect.

The minimum Sum of Absolute Differences obtained by a motion vector search roughly judges the magnitude of quantization error by whether or not exceeding a predetermined threshold value. When the quantization error is lower, whether or not visually noticeable noise exists in some of the pixels of the current macroblock is judged based on the amount of flatness and noise detected in each of the 4&#xd7;4 pixel blocks of the current macroblock partitioned into 16 sub-macroblocks. If there is visually noticeable noise, intra-frame coding is selected. When the quantization error is higher, whether or not visually noticeable noise exists in the current macroblock is judged while considering the magnitude of the motion vector. If there is visually noticeable noise, intra-frame coding is selected.

An image processing apparatus, comprising: a detecting unit that detects a foreground area including a foreground object, a background area, and a boundary area between the foreground area and the background area, from data of a processing target image; and a display control unit that executes a control to display the boundary area in a first color distinguishable from other areas and the background area in a second color different from the first color when the processing target image is displayed.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

In an initial stage, using a global motion vector, a rough degree of image shaking is determined. After the image shaking is determined to have converged to some measure, using the difference values between frames, the finer degree of the image shaking is determined. And if it is determined to be free of image shaking, the recording photography is made to be done. Thereby, with certainty in the timing of no hand shaking and no image shaking, the photographing can be done.

Image pickup apparatus equipped with function of detecting image shaking

A chronological sequence of a plurality of images is obtained, and one of the plurality of images obtained is set as a reference image while remainders thereof are set as object images. A plurality of parameters for converting each of main subject portions of respective plurality of object images to be aligned so as to be superimposed on a main subject portion of the reference image are calculated. Images are combined such that the main subject portions are superimposed with alignment degrees of the parameters degrading as distance from a predetermined location increases.

Image processing device and program

An image capture device sets a central vicinity of a frame of a predetermined area as a focus region upon detecting a half-press operation of a shutter button in a through-the-lens image displaying, designates a central vicinity pixel region of the region as a pixel region to be tracked, and determines whether or not the designated pixel region is adequate as an object of tracking. If the pixel region is adequate, the pixel region is tracked until the shutter button is detected as pressed down fully. When a fully-press operation of the shutter button is detected, the frame of a predetermined area is displayed in a fixed manner on a display unit. Upon a detection that a change of the pixel region has occurred, or the pixel region has contacted or exceeded the frame of a predetermined area, a recording processing is started immediately by a high speed consecutive capture.
