Patent number: 8953931Abstract: A video processing apparatus acquires audio-visual environment information that indicates an audio-visual environment of a viewer that views video. The audio-visual environment information includes information of a display size of the video that is being viewed, information of brightness around a display apparatus that displays the video, and information of a distance between the viewer and the display apparatus. The video processing apparatus corrects, depending on information indicated by the audio-visual environment information, a basic reduction amount to reduce a quantity of motion of the video that is being played back, and processes the video with use of a corrected reduction amount. In the case where the display size is large, in the case where it is dark around, or in the case where the distance from the viewer to the display apparatus is short, the reduction amount to reduce a motion is set to be large.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Corporation of AmericaInventors: Yoshiaki Iwata, Norihiro Matsui

Patent number: 8687053Abstract: The present invention provides a stereoscopic image display device that improves visibility of a stereoscopic pointer image when the pointer position moves between objects in the stereoscopic image that have greatly different display depths. The display device changes the display depth of the stereoscopic pointer image in accordance with the display depth of an object in the stereoscopic image. When the pointer position moves between objects that have greatly different display depths from time t0 to time t1, the stereoscopic pointer image at time t1 is rendered so as to be perceived as having a display depth intermediate between the display depth of the stereoscopic pointer image at time t0 and the display depth of the display screen at the pointer position at t1. As a result, visibility of the stereoscopic pointer image is improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Norihiro Matsui, Kazunori Yamada
