  • Patent number: 6600785
    Abstract: A picture processor including a picture-deformation-information input section for inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of a picture; a decoding section for inputting encoded picture data of the picture, inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input section, decoding the picture data every portion of the picture in accordance with the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction, and moreover decoding the whole picture data independently of the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction; a reference picture generation section for generating a reference picture enlarged or contracted for each portion of the picture by using a picture in which the whole picture data is decoded supplied from the decoding section, the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input se

  • Patent number: 6535232
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an object generation unit for generating an object based on three-dimensional object data externally input, an object position determination unit that moves the generated object according to a user input, and thereby determines an object position, a view point position determination unit that moves a view point according to the user input and thereby determines a view point position, a distance calculation unit for calculating a distance from the object position and the view point position, a frame rate determination unit for determining a frame rate corresponding to the calculated distance on the basis of a set table or formula, and a frame rate control unit and a moving image generation unit for reproducing the moving image with the frame rate of moving image data externally input reduced.

  • Publication number: 20020034249
    Abstract: Representative picture extracting means 102 extracts representative pictures from a coded input signal 101 which consists of representative pictures, motion parameters for motion compensation which refers the representative picture, and reference relationships, and outputs a coded representative picture signal 103. The signal is decoded by a representative picture decoding means 104, and output as a decoded representative picture signal 105 to a delay memory 106. On the other and, representative picture reference relationship extracting means 112 extracts reference relationship additional information 113, and outputs it to decoded signal output controlling means 114. The sequence of outputting the representative pictures is determined on the basis of the reference relationship additional information 113, and an output control signal 115 is output to the delay memory 106.
