A picture processor including a picture-deformation-information input section for inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of a picture; a decoding section for inputting encoded picture data of the picture, inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input section, decoding the picture data every portion of the picture in accordance with the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction, and moreover decoding the whole picture data independently of the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction; a reference picture generation section for generating a reference picture enlarged or contracted for each portion of the picture by using a picture in which the whole picture data is decoded supplied from the decoding section, the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input section, and the movement vector of the picture data; and an addition section for adding a picture decoded for each portion of the picture supplied from the decoding section and a reference picture supplied from the reference-picture generation section.

An apparatus comprises an object generation unit for generating an object based on three-dimensional object data externally input, an object position determination unit that moves the generated object according to a user input, and thereby determines an object position, a view point position determination unit that moves a view point according to the user input and thereby determines a view point position, a distance calculation unit for calculating a distance from the object position and the view point position, a frame rate determination unit for determining a frame rate corresponding to the calculated distance on the basis of a set table or formula, and a frame rate control unit and a moving image generation unit for reproducing the moving image with the frame rate of moving image data externally input reduced.

Device for controlling quality of reproduction of motion picture and method for controlling the same

It is an object of this invention to provide a graphic display apparatus that reduces the amount of CG data transferred from a server through a network and that allows three-dimensional characters displayed at a terminal to move smoothly. It is another object of this invention to provide an AV synchronous reproduction apparatus that can synchronize an image with a score the tempo of which is changed during reproduction. According to this invention, when a server instructs a terminal to graphically display three-dimensional characters, the terminal provides a plurality of motion patterns. The server then transmits scenario data to the terminal, and the terminal operates based on the scenario data to switch scenes for graphical displays. The terminal switches the scenes for graphical displays with a timing for a home position which is common or substantially common to a motion pattern being executed and a motion pattern to be executed next.
