Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image processing apparatus including: an image data acquisition section configured to acquire data of an image; a luminance conversion section configured to convert a luminance range composing a pixel value of the image so as to correspond to the luminance range capable of an output as a display image; and an output section configured to output the data of the image in which a luminance after the conversion is defined as the pixel value. The luminance conversion section acquires information regarding a linear luminance range capable of an output in the luminance that is proportional to a setting luminance in a display and determines a conversion rule at least on a basis of the information.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a calibration section acquiring luminance characteristics of a display apparatus on a basis of a user manipulation for a calibration screen image displayed on the display apparatus, a luminance transforming section transforming a range of luminance composing a pixel value of an image into a range of luminance with which the image can be outputted as a display image on a basis of the luminance characteristics, and an output section outputting data associated with an image having the luminance after the transformation as a pixel value. The calibration section adjusts an initial state of the calibration screen image on a basis of information peculiar to the display apparatus, and then causes the calibration screen image to be displayed on the display apparatus.

Abstract: A preview generating section 104 generates preview forming data within a predetermined data size by extracting at least a part of header information and at least a part of a mail body from an electronic mail obtained by a mail obtaining section 102. A cache section 142 caches the preview forming data. A display section 108 displays a preview list on a display device 68 using the preview forming data cached by the cache section 142. When a preview included in the preview list is selected, a command transmitting section 106 requests a server to transmit the electronic mail identified by the selected preview.

Abstract: A division circuit 11 divides input frames included in an input video Vi into plural pieces of partial data that are not superimposed with each other and outputs one piece of partial data for one input frame while switching selection of the partial data. A memory control circuit 14 writes the partial data output from the division circuit 11 in a frame memory 15, and reads a reconstruction frame that is configured by plural pieces of partial data based on a plurality of input frames that are different from each other and has a same size as the input frames from the frame memory 15. A composition circuit 19 composites the reconstruction frame read from the frame memory 15, and obtains an output video Vo that includes a composited frame. Thereby, an amount of access to the frame memory is reduced without deteriorating image quality significantly.
