Patent number: 8411741Abstract: Occurrence of mosquito noise of a macro block that contains even a small plain region is suppressed. One macro block is subdivided into sub blocks each of which is composed of four pixels×four lines. The average value of luminance levels of each sub block is calculated. The absolute values of the difference values between the luminance levels and the average value are obtained for each sub block. The minimum value of the average difference values of the 16 sub blocks of one macro block is selected and decided as an activity of the macro block. Corresponding to the decided activity, a quantizer scale of the macro block is decided. With the decided quantizer scale, the macro block is quantized. According to this method, since the size of each sub block is smaller than the size of a conventional sub block of eight pixels×eight lines, the average difference value of each sub block is more emphasized.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Akira Sugiyama, Haruo Togashi

Patent number: 8155398Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image conversion section that receives an input of a face image to be identified, executes an image conversion on the input face image, and performs a normalization processing into an image. The image conversion section obtains a face image from a first memory storing the face image to be normalization processed, performs the normalization processing by an image conversion and stores the face image after the normalization processing into a second memory. The image processing apparatus includes a calculation section that calculates a conversion parameter for calculating a corresponding point in the first memory to each pixel position in the second memory. The conversion parameter defines one of an image contraction processing, an image rotation processing, or an image translation processing to be performed when the face image stored in the first memory is converted into the face image stored in the second memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Haruo Togashi

Patent number: 8077932Abstract: In a face recognition apparatus adapted to recognize an input face image on the basis of one or more registered face images, similarity between an input face image and a registered face image is determined based on a Gabor jet calculated by performing Gabor filtering using Gabor filters defined by a Gaussian function representing a window and sine and cosine functions representing a frequency response for each of predetermined frequency values and for each of predetermined angles of the response function. Values of the filter window are calculated in advance based on the Gaussian function and stored in a filter window data ROM. Values of the response function are calculated in advance for respective angles based on the sine and cosine functions and stored in sine data ROMs and cosine data ROMs. In the Gabor filtering process, coefficients of the Gabor filters are determined from values read from these ROMs.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Haruo Togashi

Patent number: 7916994Abstract: When a stream encoded with a variable length code is output, a stream containing a syntax error and a format violation is prevented from being output. A checker checks encoding parameter for a stream that is reproduced from a magnetic tape and a stream that is output through an EE path and determines an occurrence of a syntax error or a format violation. When the output stream contains it, a switch circuit stops outputting the stream in the unit of a GOP or a picture and adds a code representing the end to the immediately preceding stream. The checker continuously checks the stream. When the output stream does not contain an error, etc, the output of the stream is resumed from the beginning of a GOP. At that point, flag representing that there is a picture that has not been used due to the stop of the stream is added.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shin Todo, Haruo Togashi, Akira Sugiyama, Hideyuki Matsumoto

Patent number: 7536080Abstract: A signal processing apparatus that enables while a significant video signal is not being output, a stream that is decoded to a black picture signal is output along with a base band signal that causes a block picture to be displayed. The signal is reproduced, as an MPEG stream. The MPEG stream is input to a first input terminal of a switch. The MPEG stream is supplied to a black stream generating circuit. A non-signal detector detects a non-signal state of the stream. In a non-signal period, a second input terminal of the switch is selected. A stream generator generates a black stream that causes a black screen to be displayed, which is input to the second input terminal of the switch, and is obtained from a stream output terminal through a switch.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shin Todo, Yoshinori Suzuki, Haruo Togashi, Akira Sugiyama, Hideyuki Matsumoto

Patent number: 7333659Abstract: An encoder and an encoding method capable of improving the transfer efficiency in an encoding process is provided. The encoder determines the number of removed bit planes in order that the quantity of generated codes per frame is kept constant when performing the encoding process. A predetermined number of bit planes corresponding to those parts of information that seem relatively small to users are removed. Accordingly, the encoder can prevent variation of processing time in a stage before the encoder performs an encoding process.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Haruo Togashi
