| 20080266319 | Video processing apparatus and method - A video processing apparatus stores video data in a memory, detects, from the video data, (a) a first display region of a first image object displayed for a first predetermined period of time or longer, (b) a first display interval indicating the start to end video frames in which the first image object is displayed, (c) a second display region of a second image object displayed within a predetermined range with reference to the first display region of the first image object, and (d) one or more second display intervals each indicating the start to end video frames in which the second image object is displayed, each second display interval being shorter than the first display interval, and generates a support data items used in at least one of a playback process, edit process, and search process of the video data, based on each second display interval. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090052746 | APPARATUS, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING PICTURES - When groups of coordinates of face areas respectively contained in mutually different frames are within a predetermined error range, a face attribute assigning unit assigns mutually the same face attribute value to each of the face areas. In the case where a difference in the feature amounts between the frames is within a predetermined error range, a similar shot detecting unit detects that the shots from which the frames have respectively been extracted are similar shots to each of which mutually the same shot attribute value is assigned. In the case where it is judged that face areas that respectively appear in the frames contained in the similar shots and to which mutually different face attribute values have respectively been assigned represent the face of mutually the same person, the face attribute re-assigning unit assigns mutually the same face attribute value to each of the face areas. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090052783 | SIMILAR SHOT DETECTING APPARATUS, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND SIMILAR SHOT DETECTING METHOD - If a difference between feature values of frames from different shots is within a predetermined error range, one or more target frames are selected from each of the shots. Based on face areas in the selected target frames, the feature values of the target frames are calculated. If a difference between the feature values of the target frames is within a predetermined error range, these shots, from which these similar frames are originally retrieved, are assigned with the same shot attribute and set to be similar shots. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090104627 | METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY - A novel modified polysaccharide, a solid phase to which the polysaccharide is adhered, methods for detecting N-deacetylase activity, N-sulfotransferase activity and N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase activity in a sample which utilizes said solid phase, and detection kits thereof. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090280502 | ANTI-2-O-DESULFATED ACHARAN SULFATE ANTIBODY AND ITS APPLICATION - An antibody that reacts with 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate, a hybridoma that produces the antibody, a detection method and a detection kit to which the antibody is applied are disclosed. The antibody that reacts with 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate can be produced by immunizing a mammal using as an antigen a substance obtained by chemically bonding a protein to 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100017406 | DOCUMENT PROCESSING DEVICE AND PROGRAM - A switching information acquiring unit | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100054691 | Video processing apparatus and video processing method - A video processing apparatus calculates displayed time of two input segments having a telop area in a video on the basis of a time displayed area, determines whether or not the two input segments are a series of scene segments on the basis of the two displayed times, and outputs the two input segments determined as the series of scene segments as an output segment. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100079673 | Video processing apparatus and method thereof - A video processing apparatus according to the invention detects telops displayed in an entered video, selects specific telops which satisfy arbitrary conditions from among the telops, acquires a plurality of specific telops within an arbitrary time range as one group from among the plurality of specific telops, coordinates two of the specific telops from the group, and extracts a specific segment interposed between the two of the specific telops. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100272365 | PICTURE PROCESSING METHOD AND PICTURE PROCESSING APPARATUS - Shot groups that include face areas and satisfy a predetermined criterion are selected out of shot groups that are sets of similar shots. Face areas included in the same shot group are classified according to features. A classified face area group included in the same shot group is presumed to be that of the same person and selected as the face area group of a main character. Consequently, the main character is selected by combining similarity of shots forming a picture and face area detection. Therefore, even in a picture including a character whose face cannot be detected in a part of shot sections, it is possible to order and select characters and select a face of a main character more conforming to actual program contents in a television program than that in the related art. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110097121 | FIXING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EQUIPPED THEREWITH - A fixing device fixing a toner image on a recording material, includes: a first blowing section that blows air against a leading edge of the recording material that has passed through a nip portion formed by a heated fixing member and a pressing member kept in pressure contact with the fixing member, and a second blowing section that blows air against the recording material that has passed through the nip portion, wherein an air speed of air blown out from a first blowing outlet is higher than that of air blown out from a second blowing outlet, wherein an air flow amount from the first blowing outlet is less than that from the second blowing outlet, and wherein the first and second blowing outlets are arranged at the same position in a direction in parallel with a rotational axis of the fixing member. | 04-28-2011 |
