  • Publication number: 20180302589
    Abstract: A moving image reproduction apparatus that reproduces and displays captured moving image on a display device. An MPU acquires a shake amount, and determines whether the shake amount exceeds a range within which camera shake in the captured moving image can be corrected. When the shake amount exceeds the range, the MPU calculates an interpolated shake amount based on the shake amount such that the interpolated shake amount is within the range. The MPU decides a camera shake correction amount based on the shake amount and the interpolated shake amount. The MPU corrects camera shake using the camera shake correction amount. When the shake amount does not exceed the range, the MPU decides the shake amount as the camera shake correction amount, whereas when the shake amount exceeds the range, the MPU decides the interpolated shake amount as the camera shake correction amount.

  • Patent number: 9496158
    Abstract: Provided is a processing apparatus for performing a processing of a substrate to be processed using a high-pressure fluid to prevent the generation of particles and ensure airtightness in the processing container. A sealing member is installed to surround a carrying port of the processing chamber, the carrying port is closed by the cover, and the cover is restricted from retreating by the pressure in the processing chamber by a lock plate, thereby processing the wafer in the processing chamber using the high-pressure fluid. Since the sealing member is pressurized by the internal atmosphere of the processing chamber to be pressed toward the cover during the drying process, a gap between the cover and the processing chamber may be airtightly closed. Since the sealing member does not slide with respect to the processing chamber or the cover, the generation of particles is suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20140023349
    Abstract: Grain noise and scratches are applied to an input image as random noise to generate a combined image. When applying grain noise clipped from two-dimensional noise data to the input image, each time clipping is performed, a positional difference from a last clipping position is evaluated. When the positional difference is determined to be small, a current clipping position is changed. When applying scratches clipped from noise data of a plurality of patterns to an input image, when a condition for successively applying scratches for a predetermined time period is selected, a positional difference from a last pasting position is evaluated. When the positional difference is determined to be large, the application of scratches is invalidated.
