  • Patent number: 8736682
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus. The apparatus includes a moving image data acquisition unit configured to acquire moving image data representing a moving image, a notable-region specification unit configured to specify, as a notable region, a motion region among a plurality of still images forming the moving image represented by the moving image data acquired by the moving image data acquisition unit, for each still image, and an image processing unit configured to perform image processing of changing a style of each still image, in which the notable region is specified by the notable-region specification unit, into a pictorial image, by using different processes between the notable region in the still image specified by the notable-region specification unit and the rest of the still image.

  • Publication number: 20140071496
    Abstract: A printer is provided which includes a pattern input module, a printing module executing printing on a printing medium, and a control unit controlling the input and printing modules, wherein when an input pattern inputted from the input module is inputted into strings of a first string and a second string following the first string with a blank space portion formed at least either at the rear of a first pattern area where a first pattern of the first string is formed or at the front of a second pattern area where a second pattern of the second string is formed, the control unit deletes the blank space portion and arranges the first and second patterns into a single-string pattern array where the first and second patterns are arranged sequentially in that order and causes the printing module to print the pattern array on the printing medium.

  • Patent number: 8624922
    Abstract: There is provided an image composition apparatus configured to produce a composite image in which a foreground image is overlaid on a part of a background image. The apparatus designates a pair of images used as the background image and the foreground image, when one image of the pair of images is a pictorial image with a certain pictorial style, obtains pictorial style information indicative of the pictorial style of the one image of the pair of images, converts the other image of the pair of images into a pictorial image with the pictorial style indicated by the pictorial style information, produces a composite image from a combination of the pictorial image corresponding to the one image of the pair of images and the pictorial image resulting from the conversion on the other image of the pair of images, and outputs the composite image.
