Abstract: [PROBLEMS] In a system for converting a low resolution image to a high resolution image, it is difficult to carry out processing to generate a high resolution image for each frame in real time using temporally continuous frame images. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] An image processing system includes a conversion parameter calculation unit 101, an initial image generation unit 102, a high resolution image generation unit 103, and an input image and conversion parameter storage unit 110, and converts the high resolution image generated at the previous frame in accordance with a current frame based on the conversion parameter for the current frame with respect to the previous frame so as to perform high resolution image generation processing of the current frame with the converted image as an initial value.

Abstract: A data processing unit calculates image conversions parameters corresponding to each partial image, geometrically converts photographed partial images on the basis of a current partial image based on the calculated image conversion parameters, and combines them to generate a mosaic image. Also, a display device displays each current partial image, and at least part of the generated mosaic image.

Abstract: A data processing device calculates an image conversion parameter corresponding to each partial image. According to the image conversion parameter calculated, a partial image which has been imaged according to the current partial image is geometrically converted. The images are combined to generate a mosaic image. Moreover, the current partial image and at least a part of the mosaic image generated are displayed on a display unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a contour extraction apparatus which has an image storing section 1 for storing an image, a contour model storing section 2 for storing a contour model, a contour model transforming section 3 for transforming and shrinking the contour model according to a prescribed rule, a contour model intersection detecting section 4 for detecting a contact or intersection in the contour model, a contour model dividing section 5 for dividing the contour model into contour models based on the detected contact or intersection, and an extraction completion judging section 7 for judging whether or not extraction of the contour of the object has been completed. According to the contour extraction apparatus, even when there are objects whose contours are to be extracted, the contour of the each object can be extracted correctly by predesignating a region only once, or without predesignating a region at all, despite the presence of excessive noise or a discontinuity in the edge.
