  • Publication number: 20230394676
    Abstract: A video analyzing device is configured to acquire information related to a motion of a target object based on a video showing the motion. The video analyzing device includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to perform a video displaying process of displaying the video on a display screen of a display device; a region specifying process of specifying a part of a range shown in the video as a determination region; and an information acquiring process of acquiring the information based on a change in the specified determination region. The region specifying process includes specifying the part as the determination region based on an operation by a user for selecting a range surrounding the target object from a still image. The still image is part of the video and includes the target object.

  • Patent number: 8285106
    Abstract: Audio data is prevented from not synchronizing with video data when splicing. A first GOP of a video stream of a second program is spliced to a last GOP of a video stream of a first program. A first GOP of an audio stream of the second program is spliced to a last GOP of an audio stream of the first program. In this case, a gap amount PTS_FS required for synchronizing video data and audio data after the splicing is computed for each GOP. For the splicing processing, a gap amount PTS_FS_SPLYCE caused when the last GOP is spliced to the first GOP directly and the PTS_FS are used.

  • Patent number: 7623756
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit operable to acquire first information to be played back, and second information relating to a breakpoint candidate of the first information; a display control unit operable to control the playback of the first information; and a display speed control unit operable to control a playback speed of the first information based on the second information. The display speed control unit controls the playback speed of the first information based on the second information so that the first information is played back at a relatively low speed within a predetermined period of the first information in the vicinity of the breakpoint candidate and is played back at a relatively high speed within a remaining period of the first information.

  • Patent number: 7418129
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, and a program for processing images that can reproduce images in which color tones are preserved even when a luminance signal level is changed by gradation conversion. A Y-matrix unit 112 and a C-matrix unit 113 convert an original color obtained from image-sensing devices 111 to luminance signals and color-difference signals. A gradation-correction unit 114 performs gradation adjustment on luminance signals Y and convert them to luminance signals Y? to be output. The gradation-correction unit 114 further converts the luminance signals Y? to signals Y?, which are Y signals according to the XYZ color system, and outputs them to a color-difference correction unit 115.
