Abstract: An image processing apparatus and its control method receives a drawing command including a moving image drawing command and a graphics drawing command and performs drawing processing. A drawing command is received, and the moving image drawing command is separated from the graphics drawing command. A graphics drawing unit obtains the result of graphics drawing in accordance with the graphics drawing command. A moving image drawing unit generates moving image data processed in accordance with the moving image drawing command. A composition unit composes the result of graphics drawing by the graphics drawing unit with the moving image data generated by the moving image drawing unit.

Abstract: An image-processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a determining unit determining a type of image data; a holding unit holding color value for the still images, and holding a ratio for the moving image for each moving image, an updating unit updating the color value and the ratio, and a display unit displaying composite image data. For each piece of image data to be drawn, the updating unit updates each ratio based on a transmittance of the image data, updates the color value and a transmittance of a still image when it is a still image, and updates the color value data based on a transmittance of a moving image, and causes the transmittance to be further held as a ratio of the moving image when it is a moving image. The display unit displays the composite image data using the color value and the ratio.

Abstract: In a method of and a system for unpacking bales each tied by at least one strap, a contact plate member provided with a strap sensor unit is mounted, through a biasing arrangement, on a body frame for movement relative thereto. The body frame is moved toward a confronting side face of the bale to bring the contact plate member into contact with the side face of the bale. The body frame is further moved toward the bale while increasing biasing force of the biasing arrangement, until contact pressure, with which the contact plate member is urged against the side face of the bale, reaches a predetermined value. When the contact plate member is urged by the bale in such a direction as to increase the biasing force during scanning of the strap sensor unit along the side face of the bale, the body frame is moved away from the bale to maintain the contact pressure at the predetermined value.
