  • Publication number: 20180121736
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an image processing device, image processing method, and image processing system that are capable of deciding a cutout region in accordance with change in the detection position of the same object between frame images captured at different times. [Solution] The image processing device includes: a first region setting unit configured to set a first region including a detection position of an object in a cutout region in a first frame image; and a cutout region deciding unit configured to decide a cutout region in a second frame image subsequent to the first frame image, on the basis of a positional relation between the first region and a detection position of the object in the second frame image.

  • Publication number: 20170311143
    Abstract: To efficiently use a wireless communication resource. An information processing device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit transmits a device discovery request signal for performing direct inter-device wireless communication. The control unit changes a detection threshold for detecting a wireless communication signal at timing after transmission of the device discovery request signal. Further, when predetermined information is included when the device discovery request signal for performing direct-inter-device wireless communication is received from another information processing device, the control unit transmits a device discovery response signal to the another information processing device, based on the predetermined information included in the device discovery request signal.

  • Publication number: 20170311194
    Abstract: A method of obtaining a virtual measurement result for an inactive channel in a wireless telecommunications system, the system including one or more terminals and a base station providing one or more active channels for communicating wireless signals with the one or more terminals, wherein a channel is inactive if it is not currently provided by the base station for use by the one or more terminals. The method includes: selecting an active channel of the one or more active channels; obtaining a first measurement result based on signals transmitted by the base station on the active channel; and deriving a virtual measurement result for the inactive channel from the first measurement result, thereby obtaining a virtual measurement result for the inactive channel.

  • Publication number: 20170264966
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a receiver for efficiently acquiring a component configuring a service, a reception method, a transmitter, and a transmission method. The receiver acquires first signaling data distributed on a broadcast wave of digital broadcasting in an IP transmission system, acquires broadcast signaling data as second signaling data, acquires communication signaling data as the second signaling data when flag information included in the broadcast signaling data indicates that the communication signaling data is provided from a server over the Internet together with the broadcast signaling data, and connects to a stream of a broadcast component or a stream of a communication component thereby to control reproduction of the component on the basis of at least one of the broadcast signaling data and the communication signaling data. The present technology is applicable to TV receivers, for example.
