Abstract: A dispersion for an X-ray target in which gold nanoparticles and sodium alginate or a calcium phosphate-based bone reinforcing material are dispersed, in which the gold nanoparticles are in contact with the sodium alginate or the calcium phosphate-based bone reinforcing material.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus (2000) displays, on a display apparatus (60), a first display (30) that represents a partial image (14) where an object contained therein was not recognized as a product. The information processing apparatus (2000) receives input for selecting one or more first displays (30). The information processing apparatus (2000), upon receiving a predetermined input from a user, ends receiving selection of a first display (30). The information processing apparatus (2000) stores, in a storage apparatus (120), product identification information input to a product information input area (54) and feature information based on a partial image(s) (14) corresponding to a selected first display(s) in association with each other.

Abstract: Indices in an image of a physical space on which a plurality of indices are allocated are identified, and the positions and orientations, on the physical space, of all or some identified indices are calculated.

Abstract: A configuration for measuring the position and the orientation specific to a mixed reality is separated from an application 70 to operate independently, and a shared memory 60 or process-to-process communication is used for data communication between them. This allows to modify configuration associated with the measurement of the position and the orientation such as the type of the sensor or an alignment method without modifying or recompiling the application 70. This facilitates providing the mixed reality system and supporting system modification.

Abstract: In an image receiving apparatus, a command for operating a camera is detected on the screen of a monitor on which an image formed by the camera is displayed. The detected camera operating command is recognized and a camera control command is formed on the basis of the recognized camera operating command to be transmitted to an image transmitting apparatus.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is connected to a print unit adapted to print an image, and can output an image to be printed to the print unit. The apparatus includes an image sensing unit adapted to capture a real space image, a generation unit adapted to generate a virtual space image according to a viewpoint position and orientation of the image sensing unit, and a composition unit adapted to obtain a mixed reality space image by combining the real space image captured by the image sensing unit and the virtual space image generated by the generation unit. In addition, a display unit is adapted to display a mixed reality space image obtained by the composition unit, and an output unit is adapted to output a mixed reality space image, which is obtained by the composition unit, to the print unit in response to an input of a print instruction.

Abstract: An image composition system includes an HMD (100) having a right-eye camera (110), a left-eye camera (111), a right-eye LCD (130) and a left-eye LCD (131) for displaying a real image, and the like, and an information processing apparatus (300) for generating another image different from the real image. A composite image obtained by superimposing the other image generated by the information processing apparatus (300) on the real image captured by the right-eye camera (110) and left-eye camera (111) is displayed on the right-eye LCD (130) and left-eye LCD (131). The display region of the other image is determined based on the position and posture of the head of the user who wears the HMD (100). The user can observe the other image superimposed on the real image at an appropriate position while wearing the HMD on his or her head.

Abstract: Indices in an image of a physical space on which a plurality of indices are allocated are identified, and the positions and orientations, on the physical space, of all or some identified indices are calculated (S142).

Abstract: There is the possibility that the operator misunderstands as if an abnormality has occurred in an apparatus, depending on the state of reception of an image changing in accordance with situation. This problem is solved by providing a reception unit for receiving images generated from a plurality of communication terminals, an output unit for outputting the images received by the reception unit in order to dipslay the images on a display unit as multiple images, and a notification unit for grasping and notifying a state of reception of the images by the reception unit.

Abstract: In a system wherein one or more controllable camera(s) and one or more monitor(s) for displaying video information received from the camera(s) are connected to each other through a communication device, the states of all the cameras can be always understood at any monitor. Map management server software is provided to receive notification(s) of camera state information by all the cameras with the predetermined device, and to transmit the camera state information to all the monitors.

Abstract: Information such as a camera layout for representation on a map could not be entered while an image of a camera is confirmed on a display. In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides generating means for generating a map having a symbol indicating an installed position of a camera, receiving means for receiving image data corresponding to an image photographed by the camera associated, when information regarding the camera including the position of camera is associated with the map, and output means for outputting the received image data onto the display.

Abstract: In order to freely select, locate and display an image from a remote place on a monitor to facilitate observer's use, disclosed are apparatus and methods arranged to perform operation of drag and drop of a symbol to a specific position on a map showing the symbol indicating information of the position where an image generator is set, thereby establishing logical network connection with a video transmission terminal to which the image generator is connected, to display a video in an arbitrary display area, to perform the drag and drop operation of the video displayed in the video display area to another video display area, thereby changing a video display position, and to perform the drag and drop operation thereof to a display stop symbol, thereby disconnecting the logical network connection to stop the video display of the video camera.

Abstract: A camera control system is arranged to improve operability of at least a camera or each of a plurality of cameras for panning and tilting control over the camera by permitting simultaneous confirmation of the photo-taking postures of the camera in the direction of tilting as well as in the direction of panning. The operability is improved by arranging a tilt control panel to be displayed to permit control in the tilting direction of the camera when a camera icon indicative of the camera is selected on a map displayed at a monitor.

Abstract: A graphic card (130) renders a virtual space image on a memory (122) according to the position and orientation of a video camera (140) using data indicating the state of a virtual space, 3DCG data loaded from an HDD (123) onto the memory (122), and data indicating the position and orientation of the video camera (140). A real space image captured by the video camera (140) is then acquired. The graphic card (130) superimposes the acquired real space image on the virtual space image rendered on the memory (122) to generate a mixed reality space image on the memory (122), and then outputs the mixed reality space image to a monitor (150). Upon depression of a shutter (160), the mixed reality space image rendered on the memory (122) at that time is output to a printer (170), which prints the mixed reality space image on a print medium such as a paper sheet, OHP film, or the like.
