Electric-power conversion apparatus

Provided are a power conversion device control device and a power conversion device control method, which are capable of reducing harm to other electronic devices and electromagnetic noise due to a switching frequency compared to the related art. Carrier change patterns of the respective phases, which are defined by parameters of an average switching frequency, a spectral diffusion index, and a repetition frequency, are generated so that at least the carrier change pattern of one phase differs from the carrier change patterns of the other phases. Semiconductor switching elements are controlled as instructed by duty command values while the switching frequency is switched for each phase separately, from one frequency to another sequentially based on carriers output in patterns that follow the generated carrier change patterns.

The present invention makes it possible to process at high speed the foreground component image and the background component image of picked up images on a network platform. A client computeroutputs information specifying image data desired to separate to a separation server. The separation serverobtains the specified image data from a storage serverand outputs it to a motion detecting serverto perform motion detection processing. Thereafter, the image data, motion vector and positional information are output to an area specifying server. The area specifying servergenerates area information of the image data and outputs the area information to a mixture ratio calculating serverin addition to the image data, the motion vector and the positional information. The mixture ratio calculating servercalculates a mixture ratio on the basis of the image data, the motion vector, the positional information and the area information, and a foreground/background image separation serverseparates foreground and background of the input image on the basis of such information.
