Abstract: A bag mouth opening device for continuously conveyed bags including suction cups (16, 17) continuously rotated in mutually opposite directions along substantially symmetrical elliptical moving paths (24, 25) on ether side of a conveying path (1) for bags. The time the suction cups take to make their single rotation along the moving paths matches the time a bag (20) takes to be conveyed for an inter-bag distance(s). The major axes (26, 27) of both moving paths of the suction cups are inclined at almost the same angles relative to the conveying path and digress from the bag conveying path toward their anterior side.

Abstract: A motion vector detecting unit 12 detects a motion vector V1 of an input image X(n), and an interpolating vector generating unit 13 generates an interpolating vector V2 in accordance with the motion vector V1. In a two-dimensional display mode, the input image X(n) is output as an original image, and an image generating unit 16 generates an interpolated image X(n+0.5) in accordance with the interpolating vector V2. In a three-dimensional display mode, the input image X(n) is output as a left-eye image L(n), and the image generating unit 16 generates a right-eye image R(n+0.5) in accordance with a sum of the interpolating vector V2 and a parallax vector V3 input from the outside. The image generating unit is shared in a frame rate conversion process and a three-dimensional conversion process, and the right-eye image is generated at the same location as the interpolated image in time axis. In this way, image quality is increased when a moving image is displayed with a small amount of circuit.

Abstract: A three-dimensional noise reduction processing unit perform as a recursive noise reduction process to an input image X(n), using a motion vector MV detected by a motion vector detecting unit. A three-dimensional noise reduced image B(n) is output as a corrected original image Y(n). A two-dimensional noise reduction filter processing unit applies a two-dimensional noise reduction filter to the input image X(n). Using the motion vector MV, an interpolated image generating unit generates an interpolated image Y(n+0.5) based on a two-dimensional noise reduced image A(n). Significant degradation of an interpolated image due to false detection of a motion vector is prevented by generating the interpolated image based on the image resulted without performing the recursive noise reduction process.
