Abstract: Article specifying information for specifying articles collected in an article collection site is detected from an image captured by an imaging unit (101). When the article specifying information is detected, a position of the article in the article collection site are determined from the position of the article specifying information in the captured image, and article information in which the detected article specifying information is correlated with position information indicating the determined position of the articles is stored. The position information of a pickup target article corresponding to the article specifying information of the pickup target article is acquired with reference to the article information. A laser beam output unit (108) presents the position of the pickup target article to a pickup operator so as to recognize the presented position by irradiating the position of the pickup target article with a laser beam on the basis of the acquired position information.

Abstract: Techniques of this disclosure provide an indication of whether a parameter set update can occur in a portion of a bitstream. The indication may enable a video decoder to determine whether an update of a stored parameter set can occur without performing a content comparison between the stored parameter set and a new parameter set of the same type with the same identification value. A parameter set update includes storing a current parameter set with a given identification value to replace a previous parameter set of the same type and having the same identification value. When a parameter set update cannot occur, the video decoder may store and activate a single parameter set of a given type for the entire portion of the bitstream. When a parameter set update can occur, the video decoder may automatically update a stored parameter set, or may determine whether to update the stored parameter.
