  • Publication number: 20240127629
    Abstract: A system includes a first image sensor that generates a first image signal by synchronously scanning all pixels at a prescribed timing, a second image sensor including an event-driven type vision sensor that, upon detecting a change in an intensity of incident light on each of the pixels, generates a second image signal asynchronously, an inertial sensor that acquires attitude information on the first image sensor and the second image sensor, a first computation processing device that recognizes a user on the basis of at least the second image signal and calculates coordinate information regarding the user on the basis of at least the second image signal, a second computation processing device that performs coordinate conversion on the coordinate information on the basis of the attitude information, and an image generation device that generates a display image which indicates a condition of the user, on the basis of the converted coordinate information.

  • Publication number: 20230353860
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus generates a first image signal by synchronously scanning all pixels at a predetermined timing and performs image capturing in either a first imaging mode or a second imaging mode An information processing apparatus recognizes the user on the basis of the first image signal, calculates coordinate information regarding the user, determines whether the image capturing is performed in the first imaging mode or the second imaging mode, on the basis of the coordinate information, performs, in a case where it is determined that the image capturing is performed in the first imaging mode, a first process on the basis of the coordinate information calculated in the first imaging mode, and performs, in a case where it is determined that the image capturing is performed in the second imaging mode, a second process on the basis of the coordinate information calculated in the second imaging mode.

  • Patent number: 9641887
    Abstract: In a storage system, client devices and storage devices are connected to a network. An application for controlling the recording function of the storage device is installed on the client device. The client device, which accesses the storage device, is provided with a user interface with which a user operates the storage device. The storage device has a network attached storage (NAS) function and a recording function, and the storage device has no interface of its own with which to operate. A plurality of the storage devices are connectable to the network. When the client device registers the plurality of storage devices connected to the network, the client device accesses the plurality of storage devices registered and provides the user with a single user interface.

  • Publication number: 20080112650
    Abstract: An image processor is disclosed. The image processor includes: N execution means (where N is 2 or greater) for executing given image processing; and a control means for dividing an input image into N parts from a boundary portion between given processing unit blocks to be processed by the N execution means and controlling the execution of the image processing on the resulting N parts of the image performed by the N execution means. The control means extracts an assigned image from the input image for each one of the N parts of the image and assigns the N extracted assigned images to the N execution means, respectively. The N execution means execute the image processing on the images assigned by the control means in a parallel manner.
