20090058874 | IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE - A first data storing unit stores therein first data required for displaying an image in a drawing window. Upon a mode switching unit switching a display mode in the drawing window, a data acquiring unit acquires auxiliary data required for displaying the image in a switched display mode from the first data storing unit. A data generating unit generates image data required for displaying the image in the switched display mode using the auxiliary data. A displaying unit displays thereon the image in the switched display mode in drawing window using the image data generated by the data generating unit. | 03-05-2009 |
20090110310 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus and method execute instructions contained in multiple threads in parallel. The image processing apparatus decodes code data that is obtained by dividing image data into areas and carrying out a compression process such that the individual areas can be independently decoded. The image processing apparatus includes a first thread generating unit that allocates one execution thread to each independently compressed code, a second thread generating unit that allocates plural execution threads to each independently compressed code, and a control unit that controls the operation of the first thread generating unit and the second thread generating unit. At least part of an execution instruction for decoding the code data into image data is generated by the first thread generating unit or the second thread generating unit. | 04-30-2009 |
20090119583 | IMAGE DISPLAYING APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM - An attribute determining unit determines an attribute of image data of an image. A still-image extracting unit extracts, when the attribute is a moving image, a still image from the image data. A feature-amount obtaining unit obtains a feature amount from image data of the still image and image data of a still image when the attribute is the still image. An arrangement-position determining unit determines an arrangement position of a display area based on the feature amount. A display-image generating unit generates a thumbnail image from the still image and displays a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area. | 05-07-2009 |
20090119585 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A disclosed image display apparatus for displaying multiple images on a single screen includes a magnification unit configured to, in response to a zooming operation on the screen, magnify distances between centroids of first group images included in the multiple images and magnify the first group images; and a display control unit configured to display in a space of the magnified distances one or more images different from the multiple images. A magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a nonlinear relationship to a magnification rate of the first group images, and within an extent of the nonlinear relationship, the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a predetermined range in which the magnification rate of the first group images is larger than the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids. | 05-07-2009 |
20090122164 | ROI SETTING METHOD AND APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC CAMERA APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An ROI setting apparatus including an ROI recognition unit and an ROI control unit is provided. In one embodiment, the ROI recognition unit contains multiple ROI recognition modules for recognizing an ROI of image data according to various methods to obtain a recognition result. The ROI control unit selects one ROI recognition module out of the ROI recognition modules and sets ROI information based on the recognition result. The ROI recognition module may be selected according to an instruction from a user input via an operation unit, or a scene type selected by a scene selection switch of an image capture unit. The ROI control unit may perform operations such as selecting, enlarging, or reducing the ROI recognized by the ROI recognition module, or changing the ROI recognition conditions according to the respective instructions from the user input via the operation unit. | 05-14-2009 |
20090279795 | Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product - An image processing apparatus generates code data by connecting a plurality of first compressed codes output from one or more threads. The image processing apparatus includes a compressing unit that compresses image data by using the threads corresponding to divided compression processes; an identification-information attaching unit that attaches identification information to the first compressed codes thereby generating second compressed codes; and a code-data generating unit that generates code data including the second compressed codes. | 11-12-2009 |
20100034473 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - In an image processing apparatus, an encoding unit encodes a processed image; a determining unit determines whether a reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing; and a decoding unit decodes, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, a piece of rectangular block code data of a rectangular block thereby acquiring a second decoded image. The encoding unit refers to, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, the processed image and encodes the second decoded image. | 02-11-2010 |
