Publication number: 20240078717Abstract: The information processing method includes segment extraction processing and adjustment processing. In the segment extraction processing, a segment corresponding to a label associated with an effect is extracted from a video of a camera (20). In the adjustment processing, an application position of the effect is adjusted according to a change in a posture of the camera (20), which posture is detected by utilization of information including acceleration data, in such a manner that the application position of the effect is not deviated from the extracted segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Hiromasa Doi, Takaaki Nakagawa, Guangyu Wang

Patent number: 11213757Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program making it possible to further enhance entertainability. A play state recognition unit recognizes a play state of a game. The effect rendering unit performs image processing for adding an effect to an image representing the state of the commentator that makes a gaming commentary on the basis of the play state of the game recognized by the play state recognition unit. For example, a game status indicating predetermined information is displayed at a predetermined location on the game screen of the game in accordance with the play state of the game. The play state recognition unit analyzes the game status to recognize the play state of the game. The present technology can be applied to a video distribution service that distributes a video of a game screen, for example.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Takaaki Nakagawa, Hiromasa Doi, Hirotake Goto, Takahisa Fujita, Sumio Okada, Keita Ishikawa

Patent number: 11170511Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an imaging device, and an image processing method to superimpose a complementary image in such a manner that an appearance becomes more natural. From an image acquired by imaging of an arbitrary subject, a removal region selecting unit selects a region, in which an intended object to be removed is included, as a removal region with reference to distance information that is acquired when the image is imaged and that indicates a distance to the subject. Based on the distance information, a complementary region specifying unit specifies a complementary region to complement the removal region from a region including a background of the object to be removed in the image. An image superimposition processing unit superimposes a complementary image generated from the complementary region on a place from which the removal region is deleted in the image.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: SONY SEMICONDUCTOR SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Takaaki Nakagawa, Keita Ishikawa, Hiromasa Doi

Publication number: 20180217671Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a remote control apparatus, a remote control method, a remote control system, and a program that are capable of achieving remote control by an intuitive motion using only a hand and an eye. A plurality of imaging units capture images of a space in which an eye and a hand of a user and an operation target device are present. Positions of the eye and the hand of the user and the operation target device are specified on the basis of the captured images. A line of sight of the user is specified on the basis of a positional relationship between the eye of the user and the operation target device. A motion of the user that is made while the hand is located on a straight line being the line of sight is assumed as an operation instruction given to the operation target device. The operation instruction is transmitted to the operation target device to cause the operation target device to operate. The present disclosure can be applied to a remote control apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2017Publication date: August 2, 2018Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Hideo Okamoto, Takaaki Nakagawa, Hiromasa Doi, Kazuhiro Kondo
