Alignment of an ultrasonograph and volume data obtained beforehand is correctly performed without requiring a user to perform complicated operation. First volume data for an ultrasonograph and second volume data obtained by another imaging apparatus are received and aligned. A predetermined imaging part selected from a plurality of imaging parts of a subject is received from a user. The second volume data are initially rotated by a rotation angle corresponding to the imaging part received by the receptor, and alignment of the initially rotated second volume data and the first volume data after is further carried out.

A video monitoring apparatus capable of efficiently superimposing additional information on a monitoring camera image is provided. The video monitoring apparatus holds image specifying information for specifying an image picked up by a camera and additional information in correspondence with each other. In superimposing additional information on an image, additional information corresponding to images having a distance therebetween falling within a prescribed range is searched for, and out of the thus found additional information, one that may be fit within an image currently picked up by the camera is superimposed on the camera image.

Video monitoring apparatus

It is an object of this invention to detect a similar picture at high speed with high accuracy from a large-scale picture archive. Previously, a frame is extracted from each picture in a picture archive at fixed time intervals, an image feature quantity is extracted from each extracted frame, and the extracted image feature quantities are clustered, thereby constructing a clustered feature quantity database. A frames search section performs a similar frame search not only for a leading frame of a query picture but also for a subsequent frame, by using the database. A search result integration section checks whether there is a sequence across a plurality of search results and outputs, as a picture similar to the query picture, a segment which is confirmed to be continuous for a certain length or more.

An image producing/displaying system which is capable of imaging the drama, which is generally developed, from different views independently includes a storage device and an information processing unit for progressing the drama on the basis of the data stored in the storage device to image the drama. The storage device stores previously therein both individual data with respect to a plurality of characters which are treated as the human beings, a plurality of set and properties which are treated as the objects, and a plurality of local spaces, which are virtually specified as elements constructing the virtual world, and scenario information which is used to progress the drama in the whole virtual world. The information processing unit reads out the scenario information from the storage device to progress the drama in the whole space of the virtual world in accordance with the description in the scenario, and images the contents of the drama shown by the scenario information describing the drama in the specified local space out of the plurality of local spaces to display the contents of the drama on a display device by referring to the individual data stored in the storage device.

An image producing/displaying apparatus capable of inputting a command for changing a state of an object regardless of a form of the object includes a virtual world expressing system for constructing a virtual world including at least one object and environment in which the object exists and producing an image for visually displaying at least part of the virtual world, an output system for visualizing the image produced by the virtual world expressing system and outputting the image, and a command input system for inputting a command to the virtual world expressing system. The command input system detects a movement state of a specific pixel pattern contained in an image formed by an imaging device and extracts feature quantity from the movement state to recognize the command so that the command is notified to the virtual world expressing system.

This invention relates to a graphic data processing system, and is more particularly directed to provide an easy-to-operate system and displaying method thereof, for generating scene data from map data and retrieving and displaying attributes containing guide information of ground objects in a scene. In the first place, when a visual point is directed from above to below, a planar map is displayed, and as the visual point shifts in a horizontal direction, a three-dimensional scene image is generated and displayed from a map. Secondly, a three-dimensional window is displayed in a display, and graphic data is displayed inside the window.

Graphic data processing system

A system for displaying an image where all or part of an image is generated as an aggregation of very small regions uses, a random number assigned to each very small region so as to change the color or brightness of each very small region when uniform random numbers are generated, the range within which the uniform random numbers are generated is specified by the operator. When the random numbers are generated in accordance with a distributed function, the average value and dispersion value are similarly specified by the operator, so that the image can be more realistically displayed.
