20120086793 | VIDEO IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VIDEO IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A video image information processing apparatus includes a half mirror, an imaging unit arranged behind the half mirror for imaging a subject present in front of the half mirror, and a display unit that displays a video image in the half mirror. The video image information processing apparatus extracts a predetermined part of a human body from a video image of the subject captured by the imaging unit and performs measurement on the subject using information other than the video image. The video image information processing apparatus acquires evaluation information based on a result of the measurement performed by using information other than the video image and the position of the predetermined part of a human body. The video image information processing apparatus controls display by a display unit such that the acquired evaluation information is associated with the predetermined part in a mirror image in the half mirror. | 04-12-2012 |
20120155773 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes an image input unit configured to input an image in which a real space is captured by an image capturing apparatus, an image recognition unit configured to recognize a situation in the real space captured in the input image, an image recording unit configured to record the input image, an image selection unit configured to select an image used for image communication from a plurality of images including images recorded by the image recording unit in the past based on a recognition result of the input image, and an image output unit configured to modify the selected image and output the modified image. | 06-21-2012 |
20120257048 | VIDEO INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND VIDEO INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - It is desired to check a difference of a given movement performed on different date. | 10-11-2012 |
20120262534 | VIDEO IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VIDEO IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A person hesitates to communicate with other person since the person do not know schedule of the other person, and accordingly, opportunities of daily communication are missed, which is a problem. First and second situations of first and second real spaces are recognized based on first and second video images obtained by capturing the first and second real spaces where first and second users | 10-18-2012 |
20130135087 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - Contact detection units ( | 05-30-2013 |
20130136304 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION TOWARD HUMAN OBJECT - A human object recognition unit recognizes a human object included in a captured image data. A degree-of-interest estimation unit estimates a degree of interest of the human object in acquiring information, based on a recognition result obtained by the human object recognition unit. An information acquisition unit acquires information as a target to be presented to the human object. An information editing unit generates information to be presented to the human object from the information acquired by the information acquisition unit, based on the degree of interest estimated by the degree-of-interest estimation unit. An information display unit outputs the information generated by the information editing unit. | 05-30-2013 |
