Abstract: A pixel change amount calculation unit calculates first pixel change amounts and second pixel change amounts by using a pixel signal outputted by an image sensor. A boundary direction determination unit determines a boundary direction in which a boundary of adjacent pixels having pixel values largely different from each other is present by using information on the first pixel change amounts and the second pixel change amounts. An interpolation value calculation unit calculates an interpolation value corresponding to the boundary direction based on a result of the determination of the boundary direction determination unit. An interpolation processor interpolates a first color component into a target pixel including a second color component by using the interpolation value calculated in the interpolation value calculation unit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a transmission apparatus, including: a control section configured to control the timing at which actual data from a data source is to be transmitted to a reception apparatus; and a transmission section configured to produce a control signal representative of the contents of the control of the control section, transmit the control signal to the reception apparatus through a first signal line, receive the actual data from the data source under the control of the control section and transmit the received actual data to the reception apparatus through a second signal line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical disk, an optical disk device, and an optical disk recording method. When it is applied to, for example, a compact disk. It attempts to reduce a jitter at the time of reproduction, and reproduce surely the recorded data. A change pattern of a modulation signal (S2) is detected, and the timing of a modulation signal (S1) is corrected according to this change pattern, to irradiate a laser beam L.

Abstract: An optical recording device, an optical playback device and an optical recording medium for recording optical information are configured to effectively prevent illegal copying by controlling laser beam irradiation timing and laser beam intensity to record main data based on the length of pits or marks formed and to record identification data based on pit width.
