  • Patent number: 10282828
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a setting unit and a conversion unit. The setting unit sets a gradation threshold. The conversion unit converts a gradation value greater than the gradation threshold in an input image into a predetermined gradation value, converts a gradation value equal to or less than the gradation threshold in the input image into a gradation value equal to or less than the predetermined gradation value, and generates an output image. In a case where the input image is an image processed in such a manner as to enhance a predetermined area, the setting unit sets the gradation threshold such that a surrounding area of the predetermined area of the input image becomes equal to or less than the gradation threshold.

  • Patent number: 8072544
    Abstract: There is provided a video output apparatus which inputs a video content that can have at least three different resolutions. A format detector detects an alteration of a resolution of a video content. A scaling processor scales up the video content at a set scale ratio. Upon detection of an alteration of the resolution, the format detector selects one of a plurality of supplemental video pictures, which are prepared in advance in a memory, in accordance with the degree of decrease of the resolution after the alteration to that before the alteration. An image composition unit controls a display unit to display the supplemental video picture together with a video associated with the video content via a video display unit.

  • Patent number: 7903515
    Abstract: An optical disc drive according to the present invention can read data from any of multiple types of optical discs, of which the information storage layers are located at mutually different depths under their surface. When this drive is loaded with an optical disc, the servo controller of the drive changes a first type of drive signal to adjust a focus position by changing distances from the lens to the disc and/or a second type of drive signal to adjust tilt of the lens by changing the angles defined by the lens with respect to the disc a number of times, thereby changing settings to be determined by a combination of the focus position and the tilt. A signal quality rater measures multiple index values to rate the quality of a reflected light signal as the settings are changed. Then, the optical disc drive recognizes the type of the given optical disc based on those index values and reads data from the optical disc recognized.
