  • Patent number: 9210395
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing device including an image input unit that performs image division on an input image, an evaluation value generation unit that generates an evaluation value based on an image signal of the input image, and a plurality of signal processing units that perform signal processing on the image signal based on the evaluation value generated by the evaluation value generation unit, wherein the plurality of signal processing units perform the signal processing using image signals of divided images divided by the image input unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7006153
    Abstract: An image composition apparatus includes a composition processing unit comprising a composition position determination unit for receiving a shape signal and an image signal which are outputted from an image decoding unit, and determining a composition position of an object as a foreground image; a shape boundary determination unit for determining the shape and boundary of the object; an arbitrary-shaped frame generation unit for generating an outline or frame of the object on the basis of information relating to the shape and boundary of the object; and a pixel composition unit for compositing a target pixel (pixel to be processed) of the object or an arbitrary-shaped frame pixel that is generated by the arbitrary-shaped frame generation unit 4c, with the corresponding pixel in the background image. Therefore, a composite image, in which an outline or an arbitrary-shaped shape is added to an arbitrary-shaped object, can be generated.

  • Publication number: 20040019774
    Abstract: A processor device comprises: an instruction processing unit, which reads and successively executes a program on a memory device; an address register, which stores the absolute address of a pointer in the program; a range information register, which stores range information concerning the pointer by using the absolute address; and an exception generating unit, which, when the instruction processing unit accesses the memory device using the pointer concerning the address register, inputs the output of the instruction processing unit and the range information in the range information register and, if there is a range violation of the memory device, outputs an exception signal S1 to the instruction processing unit. A pointer and its access range information are associated in an inseparable manner and accurate access protection is performed even beyond a module.
