  • Publication number: 20060215927
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a signal processing apparatus and a method, a recording medium, and a program, in which portions except an edge can be smoothed while the edge whose change in pixel value is steep is held correctly. A pixel of attention is determined in step S11, and a neighbouring pixel is determined in step S12. In step S13, a difference in pixel values between the pixel of attention and each neighbouring pixel is calculated. In step S14, according to a relationship in size between the difference and a threshold value ?., flags are raised for the neighbouring pixel and a neighbouring pixel which are symmetrical. Furthermore, a flag is also raised for a neighbouring pixel away from, in view of the pixel of attention, the symmetrical neighbouring pixel for which the flag is raised. In step S15, 7-pixel taps centered around the pixel of attention are averaged by weight.

  • Patent number: 6688274
    Abstract: In a motorcycle intake structure, an air cleaner is provided under a sheet and an intake passage is connected to an upper opening of the air cleaner. The intake passage is formed by the sheet, a rear fender and a side cover. An inlet port from the outside of the intake passage opens rearward in a upper rear portion of the side cover. This motorcycle intake structure forms a smooth intake airflow with reduced intake resistance and free from influence by dirt or other debris.
