According to one embodiment, a detector configured to detect an operator of a remote control for remote-controlling a video display apparatus is provided. The detector includes a face detector, a remote control detector, and an operator identifier. The face detector is configured to detect a first position of a viewer's face from a taken video. The remote control detector is configured to detect a second position of the remote control from the taken video. The operator identifier is configured to identify a viewer operating the remote control based on the detected first position of the viewer's face and the detected second position of the remote control when a plurality of viewer's faces are detected.

Detector, detection method and video display apparatus

According to one embodiment, a video processing device includes a test pattern controller configured to output a test pattern to a display capable of displaying stereoscopically. The test pattern is indicative of whether a viewer is substantially at a center of a viewing area in which a video is viewed stereoscopically. The test pattern includes first to sixth parallax images corresponding to respective first to sixth viewing points arranged in a horizontal direction. The third parallax image and the fourth parallax image include a first mark The first parallax image and the sixth parallax image include a second mark different from the first mark. The second parallax image and the fifth parallax image include neither the first mark nor second mark.

Video processing device, video processing method and recording medium

A viewing area adjusting device has an image pickup unit capable of shooting a forward direction of a stereoscopic video display device capable of displaying a stereoscopic video, a viewer information detector configured to detect the number of viewers and positions of the viewers by a video shot by the image pickup unit, a viewing area adjustment policy determining unit configured to select any one of a plurality of viewing area adjustment policies based on the number of viewers detected by the viewer information detector, a viewing area information computing unit configured to compute an adjustment amount for the viewing area, and a viewing area adjusting unit configured to adjust the viewing area.

Viewing area adjusting device, video processing device, and viewing area adjusting method based on number of viewers

According to one embodiment, a video processing apparatus includes a viewer detector that performs face recognition using a video photographed by a camera and acquires position information of a viewer, a correction amount calculator that calculates a correction amount for compensating for an error of the position information involved in deviation of an attaching position of the camera, a position information corrector that corrects the position information using the correction amount calculated by the correction amount calculator, a viewing area information calculator that calculates, using the position information corrected by the position information corrector, a control parameter for setting a viewing area in which the viewer is set, and a viewing area controller that controls the viewing area according to the control parameter.

Video processing apparatus and video processing method

One embodiment of invention is useful when updating data of a database which is configured to take in data through a network, has a part to be updated, and takes in information of media stored in a local storage, and characterized by that a result of retrieval is outputted with additional information of an updated date/time of information updated by connecting to a network, and the output result is informed.

Music data transfer method, information processing apparatus and information recording/playback system

According to a data display method, data having a program unit and instruction data for the program unit multiplexed on bit stream data is received. The program unit is extracted from the received data and is stored in a memory. The instruction data is extracted from the received data, and the program unit or part thereof specified by the instruction data is read from the memory and is executed. Then, the bit stream data and the execution result are displayed. This ensures smooth synchronization of reproduction of a bit stream with execution of an associated program and efficient use of resources.

Method and apparatus of displaying bit stream data, method and apparatus for generating bit stream data, and storage medium

A control system realizes a playback function by playing back stream data read out from a medium by using a decoder. When special playback functions corresponding to pause, fast forward, and rewind are to be performed, the control system moves a read start pointer to the head of a data block constructing a data format, and sets as a restart position of a playback operation.

Digital recording/playback apparatus

To transfer an image signal from a electronic camera head to a personal computer, a PC card provides the interface between the camera head and the personal computer. The PC card is removably attached to the personal computer. As instructed by the personal computer, the PC card operates the camera head, sets its states, writes image data into a memory, reads the image data from the memory for transmission to the personal computer, generates control signals for a light refracting member, and informs the personal computer of the state of the camera head.

Image input apparatus for capturing images of multiple resolutions

A spatial motion pattern input system for causing a control target device to perform control according to a spatial motion pattern of a spatial control input device, comprises a move sensing section for sensing at least the amount of movements of the spatial control input device on two axes among the amount of movements of the device on three specific nonparallel axes in space, a conversion section for converting the amount of spatial movements composed of at least two amounts sensed at the move sensing section into a motion vector sequence, an identification section for performing identification by comparing a motion vector sequence corresponding to a basic motion pattern previously entered with the motion vector sequence, and an execution section for controlling the control target device on the basis of the recognition result from the identification section.

Spatial motion pattern input system and input method

An electronic still camera comprises a solid state image sensor for outputting a color picture signal corresponding an incident optical image, a signal processor for signal-processing the color picture signal from the solid state image sensor to produce a color still picture signal, a recorder for recording the color still picture signal produced by the signal processor, and a driver for moving at least one of the optical image and the solid state image sensor from an original position in a horizontal direction by a pixel pitch and in an oblique axial direction defined by horizontal and vertical lines extending respectively from the original position in the horizontal and vertical directions by half the pixel pitch.
