  • Patent number: 8848067
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus which records, on a recording medium, development parameters corresponding to a plurality of first Raw image frames, of a plurality of Raw image frames, which satisfy a predetermined condition, and a development parameter corresponding to a last Raw image frame, of the plurality of Raw image frames, which corresponds to a last image frame of a Raw moving image data, together with the Raw moving image data.

  • Patent number: 8547479
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a conversion unit for converting first video data having a first frame rate to second video data having a second frame rate which is “n” times as high as the first frame rate (“n” being an integer of two or larger), and a display unit for displaying the second video data. When the first video data is video data of two successive frame images having different brightnesses, the conversion unit performs a first frame rate converting process for converting the first video data to the second video data by outputting a frame image group made of two successive frame images in the first video data “n” times in a row at the second frame rate. Consequently, the frame rate converting process can be performed without causing a deterioration of a visual effect such as an HDR effect, and a viewing environment comfortable for the user can be realized.

  • Patent number: 8456673
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a communication control unit configured to control a first communication for receiving a video signal based on image data from a printing apparatus using a first communication protocol for receiving a video signal, and a second communication for sending image data to the printing apparatus using a second communication protocol for sending data to be used for printing. The communication control unit performs control to communicate with the printing apparatus using the second communication protocol in response to a storage medium being connected to the display control apparatus, and performs control to communicate with the printing apparatus using the first communication protocol in response to receiving a notification indicating that a storage medium is connected to the printing apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20040133337
    Abstract: A meter microcomputer provided in the fuel quantity display device is connected to a battery through an ignition switch. The meter microcomputer obtains an ON/OFF signal for an accessory terminal and an ignition terminal so as to detect an engine start based on the result. Thereafter, the meter microcomputer compares the remaining fuel quantity detected by fuel quantity detection devices and the remaining fuel quantity stored immediately before the previous turn-OFF operation of the ignition terminal. Based on the result of comparison, the meter microcomputer determines whether the fuel is fed or not. In addition, the meter microcomputer determines a gradient based on an estimated gradient value detected by an AT control microcomputer, and calculates a value indicating the remaining fuel quantity, based on the result of determination for fueling and the determination result of a gradient so as to display it on the display meter.
