  • Patent number: 11282226
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a water level measurement device and a shoreline extraction method each of which is capable of stably measuring the water level. A pixel selection unit (11) selects a pixel of interest (302) from a designated area (301) designated from a captured image (300), and an identification image extraction unit (12) extracts identification images (303), (304) each coming in contact with the pixel of interest (302). The identification unit (13) calculates an identification strength indicating a degree to which an area corresponding to each of the identification images (303), (304) is a water area, on a basis of the result of machine learning related to identification between the water area and a non-water area.

  • Patent number: 7936817
    Abstract: In a high-efficiency encoder which performs motion-compensation prediction, an intra-field is set every n fields. The presence of a scene change is detected. When a scene change occurs, a reference picture of motion-compensation prediction is switched, or the field immediately after the scene change is set as an intra-field.

  • Patent number: 7343083
    Abstract: A digital video signal record and playback device for recording on a recording medium a digital video signal coded by using a motion compensation prediction and an orthogonal transform and playing back data from the recording medium. In a data arrangement of a digital video signal, an I picture which can be independently represented in a picture is divided into n areas in the vertical direction, and the data is arranged from the front of one GOP in the unit of area by giving a priority to an area located at the center of the screen. A playback picture is outputted by playing back the I picture read from the recording medium in the unit of area unit. In the case where the whole I picture area cannot be read within a definite time, the area which cannot be read are interpolated by the use of the data of the preceding screen.
