  • Publication number: 20150071605
    Abstract: A moving image player device of the present invention includes an interpolated image generating unit that generates an interpolated frame corresponding to a time between two adjacent input frames using two input frames among the plurality of input frames, and a video playing unit that detects a scene change in the video, outputs the plurality of input frames or the interpolated frames in time series based on the detection result, and plays the video at an arbitrary playing speed. When the scene change is detected, the video playing unit skips a display of the interpolated frames corresponding to time between an input frame at the end of a first scene and an input frame at the head of a second scene, and displays an input frame of the second scene or the interpolated frame after the input frame at the end of the first scene or the interpolated frame.

  • Patent number: 8655088
    Abstract: According to one embodiment an image encoder encodes original image data using reference image data stored in a frame memory. The image encoder includes a controller, a memory, a motion controller, and a motion compensation module. The controller generates control information including a starting point coordinate and an ending point coordinate of a necessary area in the reference image data stored in the frame memory. The memory includes a storage area in which at least part of the reference image data is stored. The motion controller determines whether the necessary area is a transfer-necessary area or a transfer-unnecessary area based on the control information, and transfers the reference image data of the transfer-necessary area from the frame memory to the storage area. The motion compensation module generates prediction image data using the reference image data stored in the storage area.

  • Publication number: 20130221185
    Abstract: In a clamp, a holding portion provided with an opening for inserting a long object (for example, a pipe) such as the pipe and the like, and holding the long object (for example, the pipe); a main body portion disposed leaving a certain space on an outer circumferential face of the holding portion; and a fixed portion fixing to an attached member (for example, a panel) such as the panel and the like, are connected. In the clamp, the fixed portion is fixed to the attached member (for example, the panel), so that the long object (for example, the pipe) is attached to the attached member (for example, the panel). A vibration-absorption portion for reducing a transmission of a vibration provides support between the holding portion and the main body portion. The holding portion, the main body portion, and the vibration-absorption portion are made from the same resin material.

  • Publication number: 20090116556
    Abstract: A digital image decoding apparatus which decodes coded data using plurality of motion vectors in each block obtained by dividing an image in frame into a plurality of blocks. The digital image decoding apparatus comprises an error detection unit which detects an error of the block, a decoder which decodes the coded data to generate the motion vector, a motion vector setting unit which computes the motion vector of the block based on the motion vector generated by the decoder and sets the computed motion vector at the block, and a motion compensating decoder which performs motion compensating decoding using the motion vector set by the motion vector setting unit. The decoder generates a reference image motion vector by decoding the coded data of the image which motion compensation is performed to and used as a reference image.
