Abstract: A mask acquisition unit acquires a mask (region information) that matches photography setting information acquired by a photography setting acquisition unit, the mask defining a sub-image region of a light field image acquired by an LFI acquisition unit. A prototype definition unit disposes a prototype of a reconstructed image at a position of reconstruction setting in a reconstruction setting storage unit. A reconstructed pixel selecting unit selects a pixel of interest from pixels of a reconstructed image. A corresponding pixel extracting unit extracts, as a corresponding pixel, a pixel that corresponds to the pixel of interest and is included in a sub-image region of the acquired mask. A pixel value calculation unit calculates a pixel value of the pixel of interest from a pixel value of the corresponding pixel. An output unit decides pixel values of all reconstructed pixels as pixels of interest and generates and outputs a reconstructed image.

Abstract: In three-dimensional modeling apparatus, an image obtaining section obtains image sets picked up by stereoscopic camera. A generating section generates three-dimensional models. A three-dimensional model selecting section selects a first three-dimensional model and a second three-dimensional model to be superimposed on the first three-dimensional model among generated three-dimensional models. A extracting section extracts first and second feature points from the selected first and second three-dimensional model. A feature-point selecting section selects feature points having a closer distance to stereoscopic camera from the extracted first and second feature points. A parameter obtaining section obtains a transformation parameter for transforming a coordinate of the second three-dimensional model into a coordinate system of the first three-dimensional model. A transforming section transforms the coordinate of the second three-dimensional model into the coordinate system of the first three-dimensional model.

Abstract: Moving-objects movable in a workspace, each includes an imaging unit with a two-dimensional light receiving surface; and a decoding processing unit. If light received by an imaging surface of the imaging unit is brightness-modulated information, the decoding processing unit decodes the received light to the information. If the information decoded by the decoding processing unit contains spatial position information of moving-objects other than a self-moving-object, the self-moving-object receives the light from light sources, has the decoding processing unit decode the light to acquire pieces of position information of the other moving-objects, thereby acquiring position information of the self-moving-object in the workspace from these pieces of position information.

Abstract: With use of GPS, an action-history recording apparatus obtains latitudes and longitudes representing places of user's action where a user is acting, and stores action-history data containing place names indicating the places of user's action at a predetermined processing timing. In the case where, the place of user's action is a specific place unique to the user, where the user visits customarily or frequently, the user is allowed to enter an arbitrary name independent of the latitude and longitude. The name entered by the user is used as a pace name to be contained in action-history data. In this way, the apparatus obtains a place name appropriate for the user and the user can use the name conveniently as the place name of the user's action.

Abstract: The present drawing data stored in the present drawing data storage unit is compared with the preceding drawing data stored in the preceding drawing data storage unit for each of the drawing areas divided by the area dividing unit, thereby determining whether there is a change in the preceding drawing data for each of the drawing areas in the present drawing data. Then, control is performed to transmit to the client apparatus the drawing data in a drawing area determined to have a change by the comparison decision unit, except for a drawing area of the present drawing data determined to have no change by the comparison decision unit. Consequently, it is possible to remarkably reduce the amount of data transferred to the client apparatus as a result of a change in the drawing and therefore transfer the drawing data at high speed.

Then, the server associates and stores in the memory the set tag ID, location information of the illumination device transmitting the tag ID, content supposed to be provided. Subsequently, the server receives the tag ID and location information transmitted from a portable terminal, determines the content to transmit based on the received location information and the element stored in the memory, and transmits the determined content to the portable terminal.
