Provided are a communication unit configured to receive the captured video image, a communication unit configured to acquire a capturing inclination of the captured video image, a corrected video image generation unit configured to change a displayed inclination angle of a received captured video image according to the capturing inclination acquired by the communication unit, and a communication unit configured to output a captured video image, in which the displayed inclination angle has been changed, to an outside.

Abstract: To determine, by image processing, a position at which visual information is to be displayed in a superimposed manner or a position at which visual information is not to be displayed in a superimposed manner. An image processing device (1A) includes a control unit (201) configured to superimpose visual information on an input image, and the control unit (201) determines a position at which the visual information is to be superimposed based on differential information indicating at least one of a difference between pixel values in the input image and a difference between the input images.

Abstract: A designation device designates an object to be photographed by a mobile photographing apparatus that moves in a target section to photograph the object. The designation device includes a display processing unit configured to cause a display to display a map of the target section, and a designation receiver configured to receive a designation of a location corresponding to the object and appearing on the map. The display processing unit superimposes photographing-condition information onto the map on the basis of information about the mobile photographing apparatus to cause the display to display the photographing-condition information. The photographing-condition information indicates a location in which the mobile photographing apparatus is capable of photographing in the target section.

Abstract: A location on a projection surface where visual information is not projected in a suitable manner is detected, and a result of the detection is outputted. A projection suitability detection system (100), which is an aspect of the present disclosure, detects on the basis of a captured image of an operation target object (OB) whether or not the operation target object (OB) has a projection surface that causes projection distortion and then outputs a result of the detection to an instructor (CR) end.

Abstract: In a projection device for projecting content onto a projection medium, a projection area is set up in such a manner as to restrain the visibility of the content from being reduced by the brightness of the projection medium. A projection device for projecting content onto a projection medium detects an illumination intensity distribution on a projection surface of the projection medium and determines a projection area for the content by referring to the illumination intensity distribution.

Abstract: Provided is a technique for projecting appropriate contents in accordance with different places of work. A projection device (101) is provided with a distance acquisition unit (201) configured to acquire the distance between an object and the projection device, a content acquisition unit (203) configured to acquire content information containing a video to be projected and the projection distance of the video, a projection video determination unit (205) configured to refer to the content information acquired by the content acquisition unit in accordance with the distance acquired by the distance acquisition unit and determine the video to be projected, and a projection processing unit (206) configured to project the video determined by the video determination unit on the object.

Abstract: A technique capable of giving instructions efficiently to multiple workers who are in the same space but in different positions is provided. An instruction device (1112) includes a feature point detector (1501), a marker information storage unit (1500), an inter-image transformation parameter calculator (1504), and a marker information transformer (1505). The feature point detector (1501) acquires a first image captured at a first viewpoint and a second image captured at a second viewpoint. The marker information storage unit (1500) acquires first positional information being positional information about a marker superimposed on the first image. The inter-image transformation parameter calculator (1504) makes reference to the first image and the second image and calculates an inter-image transformation parameter for transforming the first image to the second image.

Abstract: In disparity-compensated prediction, the precision of prediction vectors is improved even if a prediction method different from disparity-compensated prediction is utilized for blocks around a block to be coded. An image coding apparatus (100) codes a plurality of viewpoint images captured from different viewpoints.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: an input portion 14 for inputting an image including a facial image; a facial image extracting portion 16 for extracting a facial image from the image; and an image generating portion 18 for enlarging the facial image in accordance with the size of the image and size of the facial image. The facial image is enlarged in accordance with an enlargement ratio calculated based on, for example, the number of pixels for the image and the number of pixels for the facial image.

Abstract: The video processing device enhances the perceived depth of video image obtained by an image obtaining unit, and is provided with: a depth information obtaining unit that obtains depth information indicating the distance in the depth direction of each of a plurality of image portions included in the video image; an image dividing unit that divides the video image, based on the depth information and the video image, into a plurality of image portions having different distances in the depth direction; and an image combining unit that combines the image portions divided at the image dividing unit and a depth-enhancing image used for enhancing the depth of the video image such that the depth-enhancing image is superposed onto one image portion and further that the other image portion having a shorter distance in the depth direction than the one image portion is superposed onto the depth-enhancing image.
