Abstract: An image processing device includes: an image reception unit for receiving an input image; an image generation unit for generating an image for extracting a feature from the input image; a feature extraction unit for extracting a feature from the generation image generated by the image generation unit; an identification unit for identifying an object in the image using the feature output from the feature extraction unit; an output unit for outputting an identification result output from the identification unit; and a feature map generation unit for instructing the image generation unit generating a new generation image based on the feature output from the feature extraction unit, and generating a feature map indicating a feature extraction condition for the new generation image and output the generated feature map to the feature extraction unit. With this configuration, a target object in the image is identified quickly and accurately.

Abstract: An information signal recording disc is recorded with a stereoscopic television signal comprising a stereoscopic video signal and audio signals. The disc comprises a spiral track made up of a plurality of track turns, and video signals related to four fields are recorded on each of the plurality of track turns. Each track turn is time-sequentially recorded with right-eye and left-eye video signals of mutually different field numbers out of the right-eye and left-eye video signals of a simultaneous stereoscopic television signal in a sequence of field numbers together with audio signals, so that the right-eye video signal and the left-eye video signal are respectively recorded for a time period of two fields in each track turn. The right-eye and left-eye video signals related to identical fields are recorded side by side to each other in two mutually adjacent track turns.

Abstract: A stereoscopic television system and apparatus comprise a memory for storing right-eye information related to odd and even fields and left-eye information related to the odd and even fields, a circuit for producing a main scanning direction synchronizing signal for synchronizing a scanning in a vertical direction of a reproduced picture and a sub scanning direction synchronizing signal for synchronizing a scanning in a horizontal direction of the reproduced picture, where the sub scanning direction synchronizing signal has a frequency which is m.+-.

Abstract: A loudspeaker diaphragm comprising a molded, sintered ceramic body is described. The body is made of ceramic crystalline particles whose maximum size is below 1/5 time a thickness of the body which is in the form of a dome or cone. The dome- or cone-shaped diaphragm may have a flange along an opening side thereof in order to prevent deformation as may occur during firing.

Abstract: According to a first aspect of the invention, a diffraction compensation circuit is employed to relatively raise the level of an input electrical audio signal at low frequencies. A speaker is driven in response to the output signals of the diffraction compensation circuit, thereby offsetting a diffraction characteristic inherent in a speaker enclosure. According to a second aspect of the invention, the radiation surface of the vibrating member of a speaker is made flat. The speaker is installed in an enclosure in such a manner that the flat surface of the vibrating member is flush with the exterior surface of the enclosure, thereby reproducing an audio signal with high fidelity.
