Publication number: 20230394676Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Yoko KOMORI, Katsuya SUGIYAMA, Masatoshi SHIMADA, Takayuki IWAHANA

Patent number: 8285106Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Yoko Komori

Patent number: 7418129Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2003Date of Patent: August 26, 2008Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Yoko Komori
