Abstract: The value of a stereo vision parameter for an immediately preceding frame is subtracted from the value of the stereo vision parameter for a current frame to obtain a differential value d. If d<?? (lower limit value), the differential value d is set to ??, and if d>? (upper limit value), the differential value d is set to ?. If the differential value d is within the range of ?? to ?, it is left as it is without being changed. The thus set differential value d is added to the value of the stereo vision parameter for the immediately preceding frame, and the resulting value is set as the stereo vision parameter for the current frame. By thus setting the stereo vision parameter, a limit is imposed upon abrupt change of the stereo vision parameter for the current frame.

Abstract: A method of determining a movement vector between two images is disclosed. The method comprises capturing a first image using a sensor array. Next, a first feature set is extracted from the first image. A second image subsequent in time from the first image is captured. Similarly, a second feature set is extracted from the second image. The first feature set is compared to the second feature set to determine a shift in position of the second image relative to the first image. Finally, the movement vector is output based upon the shift in position.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device carries out tone display with pixels by applying a tone voltage according to tone data to each pixel in each frame, and includes: an LUT memory, which receives tone data of a display frame and tone data of an immediately preceding frame, for converting and outputting the tone data of the display frame; a source driver for applying the tone voltage to the pixels based on the converted tone data outputted from the LUT memory; and a liquid crystal cell, which makes up the pixels, for realizing tone display by the applied tone voltage, wherein the LUT memory stores beforehand output tone data which is specified by the tone data of the display frame and the tone data of the immediately preceding frame. This reduces a voltage change of pixel electrodes which is associated with a tone change to suppress unmatched tone display, thereby improving image quality of moving images.

Abstract: Within one pixel element 200, two display circuits corresponding to the analog display mode and the digital display mode are disposed such that they are adjacent to each other. One of these two display circuits can be selected through the circuit selection circuits 40 or 43. Since the high voltage power line 150 of the retaining circuit 110, which is used under the digital display mode, also performs as the signal selection line 88, it is possible to have the high density integration of the pixel element 200. Also, the bias voltage Vsc supplied through the selection storage capacitor line 81 is same as the signal A. Therefore, the storage capacitor line 81 is connected to the drain of the TFT 122 of the signal selection circuit 120 so that the signal line 82 for supplying the signal A can be omitted. Thus, the high-density integration of the pixel element 200 can be achieved.

Abstract: An objective is to provide a position pointing device, a program and a method for detecting the position pointing device which relates to a device pointing a position on a display screen and which can discriminate a scan mode of a display device and obtain information of pointed position by performing a processing corresponding to the discriminated scan mode. A photosensor (18) provided in the position pointing device detects a scanning beam from a display device (140) and generates a light detection signal. A scan mode discriminating section (30) judges that a scan mode in the display device is not a standard scan mode type, but a multi-density scan type if a frequency component of the light detection signal includes a frequency component of a horizontal synchronous signal in a multi-density scan type display device.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, a method and a system for reducing stress for a user's hands and fingers while operating a computer.
