20080199156 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING VIDEO SIGNALS - Conversion information regarding a method of frame-rate conversion executed in an image pickup apparatus is attached to video data, and the video data with the attached conversion information is passed to a playback apparatus. In the playback apparatus, an optimal image processing method is selected according to the conversion information. | 08-21-2008 |
20080247654 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHODS THEREOF - An image capturing apparatus determines an image frame to extract as a reference image frame from a plurality of image frames constituting a moving image, using a histogram, for example, and generates a reference image data file. An encoder unit encodes the plurality of image frames after reducing the resolution thereof, and generates an encoded moving image data file. A list associating the reference image frame with information specifying the corresponding reference image data file is generated with a content information list generating unit. The reference image data file, the encoded moving image data file and the list are then recorded. | 10-09-2008 |
