Title: Innovations of Yukihiro Naito
Introduction
Yukihiro Naito 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 advanced techniques for image compositing and correction, showcasing his expertise in the realm of visual technology.
Latest Patents
Naito's latest patents include an image compositing apparatus, image compositing method, and program recording device. This invention features a moving region information calculation unit that calculates moving region information from both global and local motion vectors. An image correction unit generates a corrected reference image by adjusting a reference image based on these motion vectors. The composition unit then composites a base image with the corrected reference images, using composition ratios determined by the moving region information. Notably, the composition ratio of the corrected reference image based on the global motion vector is higher in regions identified as moving.
Another significant patent is an image processing apparatus and storage medium. This apparatus includes a first synthesizing unit that determines a synthesis ratio of multiple images based on their correlation with a reference image. It synthesizes a first image from these images and employs a noise-reducing unit to minimize noise across the images. A second synthesizing unit then determines a new synthesis ratio to create a second image from the noise-reduced images.
