  • Patent number: 10033997
    Abstract: An image decoding device is provided that decodes, without an increase in the circuit size, a coded video sequence including a large-size block. The image decoding apparatus includes: a block division unit which divides a current block that is to be decoded and is included in a picture of the coded video sequence, into sub-blocks; an image obtainment unit which obtains, for each of the sub-blocks, image data corresponding to the sub-block from a recording medium; a prediction unit which generates, for each of the sub-blocks, a predicted image of the sub-block, based on the image data obtained by the image obtainment unit; and a reconstruction unit which reconstructs each of the sub-blocks, by adding the predicted image generated for the sub-block to the sub-block.

  • Publication number: 20180194367
    Abstract: A driver can intuitively and conveniently perform an operation for instructing a traffic lane change to a vehicle. In a driving support device 10, an image output unit 14a outputs, to a display unit 31, an image containing an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and a plurality of traffic lanes. An operation signal input unit 14b receives an operation of a user for moving the own vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit 31 from a first traffic lane to a second traffic lane. A command output unit 14c outputs, to an automatic driving control unit 20 that controls automatic driving, a command for instructing the change of a traveling traffic lane of the own vehicle from the first traffic lane to the second traffic lane when the operation is received.

  • Publication number: 20150169205
    Abstract: Provided is a presentation control device which, in a movement of a window between displays, appropriately controls a positioning of a window to be moved after the movement without a user designating a presentation location upon a movement destination display. With this device, a layout storage unit (1008) retains one or more layout patterns which establish a presentation region, formed from a presentation location and a presentation size of each window which is presented upon a display. Using the layout pattern, a layout determination unit (1007) determines a presentation region wherein it is possible to present a moved window. A presentation control unit (1002) generates presentation data which positions the moved window in a presentation location which the layout determination unit (1007) has established.

  • Patent number: 8169482
    Abstract: A surveillance video accumulation system pertaining to the present invention includes a plurality of surveillance camera units and a video accumulation unit that are connected with each other via a network. Among pieces of video data that have been encoded according to a prediction encoding method and transmitted from all the surveillance camera units, the video accumulation unit accumulates video data transmitted from a selected one of the surveillance camera units. Before the selection, if specified as a surveillance camera unit that is expected to shoot a subject, each of the surveillance camera units encodes video data of the subject based only on intra frame prediction and transmits the encoded video data to the accumulation unit.
