A control method according to the present disclosure includes: obtaining (receiving) position information (a danger warning signal) indicating a target position where a target object is present; determining whether the vehicle is driving autonomously or is being driven manually; when the vehicle is determined to be being driven manually, inspecting whether the target position is located within a predetermined region of a travel route of the vehicle based on the position information; when the target position is located within the predetermined region, changing the light transmission state of the headlight from a first state to a second state; and when the vehicle is determined to be driving autonomously and/or the target position is not located within the predetermined region, maintaining the light transmission state of the headlight.

Control method and control device

A video display device displays a video distributed via broadcast. The video display device comprises a data extraction section and a frame interpolation processing section. The data extraction section extracts additional data indicating information regarding a program or regarding a video of the program from a broadcast signal. The frame interpolation processing section generates an image of an interpolated frame based on images of respective frames, each of the images is represented by video data extracted from the broadcast signal. Furthermore, the frame interpolation processing section determines a content of a process regarding a motion vector to be used for generating the interpolated frame based on a content of the additional data extracted by the data extraction section.

Video display device, interpolated image generation circuit and interpolated image generation method

The present invention provides an image processing device that converts an interlace image signal into a progressive signal so as not to cause degradation of image quality in edge parts of letters or the like, when performing an IP conversion with respect to an image that is mixed with an OSD such as a caption and a telop. The image processing device includes: an OSD mix part that mixes an on-screen display with an input interlace image signal; a motion detecting part that detects a motion by comparing pixel data between different fields; and an interpolation pixel generating part that generates a new pixel between lines of the interlace image signal by interpolating calculation with an interpolation method that depends on an OSD mix ratio of the OSD mix part and a result of the motion detection by the motion detecting part.
