Title: Innovations by Yoshihisa Shinagawa
Introduction
Yoshihisa Shinagawa is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of image processing, holding a total of 9 patents. His work focuses on developing methods and apparatuses that enhance the quality and efficiency of motion picture generation.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an image interpolation method and apparatus designed to quickly generate and display motion pictures using a minimal amount of data. This method involves an image input unit that inputs a first image and a second image. A matching processor computes pixel matching between these images to obtain corresponding points on the second image relative to a mesh on the first image. The results are stored as a corresponding point file, allowing an intermediate image generator to create intermediate images based on this file. This innovative approach enables the generation of intermediate images using only one image and a smaller corresponding point file.
Another notable patent is an image-effect method and apparatus that utilizes critical points to provide high-quality motion pictures and effects, such as super slow motion, based on a small amount of image data. Similar to the previous patent, this apparatus includes an image input unit and a matching processor that records results as a corresponding point file. An intermediate image generator then creates images based on this file, while a speed controller adjusts the number of intermediate images generated according to user instructions. This technology allows for the production of slow motion and super slow motion images.
