  • Patent number: 8890963
    Abstract: The present invention evaluates the quality of an image shot by a terminal device in a state closer to that seen with the eye. A computer evaluates the quality of an image obtained by shooting a photographic subject including a periodic pattern that fluctuates periodically in one direction. A Fourier transform unit accomplishes a two-dimensional Fourier transform on the image to obtain two-dimensional spatial frequency spectrum components. An analysis unit analyzes the resolution of the image on the basis of spectrum components of spatial frequencies included in the periodic pattern, among the two-dimensional spatial frequency spectrum components obtained by the Fourier transform unit, and analyzes the deterioration of the image on the basis of spectrum components other than these.

  • Publication number: 20140337545
    Abstract: In a terminal device, contents data from an attachment mounted on the device is received by a transmission/reception section and replayed by a first playback section. A detection section detects the mounting or removing of the attachment during the playback of the contents data. As an output destination for the contents data, a selection section selects the first playback section when the attachment has been mounted, or selects a first storage section when the attachment has been removed. In the attachment, the contents data is outputted to one of the first storage section and the first playback section based on the selection result of the terminal device. Accordingly, the usage mode of contents data can be readily changed with the mounting or removing of an attachment as a trigger.
