There is provided a client device including a storage section which stores content data, a control section which acquires content identification information for identifying the content data stored in the storage section, and a transmission section which transmits, to a server device, a registration request including user identification information for identifying a user who uses the client device and the content identification information acquired by the control section, and which, when the server device holds the content data identified by the content identification information, causes the server device to hold information obtained by associating the user identification information with the content identification information as user-specific registration information.

Client device, information processing method, and information processing system

Embodiments include systems and methods for an electronic device, which includes circuitry configured to detect a size of a face from a captured image. The circuitry is also configured to identify a distortion correction parameter which varies according to a size of the detected face. The circuitry is also configured to correct a distortion of the face within the captured image by utilizing the distortion correction parameter identified based on the size of the detected face from the captured image.

Optical distortion compensation

An image processing apparatus includes: a local motion vector detection section; a global motion calculation section; a global motion vector calculation section; and an evaluation section.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

Disclosed herein is a method of compensating a signal of an image of one screen for distortions in the horizontal and/or vertical directions of a screen of the image. The method includes the steps of: dividing one screen area of the image into a plurality of picture divisions; and detecting a movement vector of the image for each particular one of the picture divisions from information on a difference in image between the particular picture division on one of two screens and the particular division on the other of the two screens. The method further includes the steps of: finding a difference in the detected movement vector between any specific picture division and a picture division adjacent to the specific picture division in order to detect a velocity of a change in image distortion for the specific picture division; and compensating the image for a distortion for each of the picture divisions on the basis of a velocity detected for each of the picture divisions as the velocity of a change in image distortion.

Taken-image signal-distortion compensation method, taken-image signal-distortion compensation apparatus, image taking method and image-taking apparatus

An image processing device, includes: a first motion vector calculation unit calculating a motion vector of a target block regarding the target block made with a plurality of pixels set up in a target image by detecting a block position maximally correlated with the target block in a search range set up in a reference image; a second motion vector calculation unit calculating a motion vector between the target image and the reference image from the motion vector for each of a plurality of target blocks set up in the target image; and a predictive motion vector setup unit setting up a predictive motion vector using a motion vector calculated between images in further past than the target image. The first motion vector calculation unit sets up the search range on the reference image based on a position of the target block and the predictive motion vector.

Image processing device, image processing method, and program

The present application provides an image processing apparatus, including: a correlation value calculation section configured to determine a correlation value between a target block and a each of reference blocks; a section configured to determine a highest value from among the correlation values; a motion vector detection section configured to detect a motion vector of the target block; and a section configured to calculate an index to reliability of the motion vector detected by the motion vector detection section.

A process output image generator generates one sheet of a process output image by performing a process using plural sheets of captured images sequentially output from a pickup device in consideration of one of the plural sheets of captured images as a reference image. A deterioration corrector corrects the image deterioration occurring in the captured images by an optical pickup system, with respect to the captured images in a front end of the process output image generator. A controller can control whether to perform the correction in the deterioration corrector for one sheet of the captured images, and controls to perform the correction with respect to at least the reference image among the plural sheets of captured images.
