Abstract: A video encoding apparatus appends decoding delay correction information and display delay correction information to encoded video data in order to ensure that even when one or more pictures that are later in encoding order in the video data than a first picture that may potentially be spliced to a trailing end of other encoded video data have been discarded, the first picture and subsequent pictures in the encoded video data can be continuously decoded and displayed by a video decoding apparatus. The video decoding apparatus corrects the decoding delay and display delay of the first picture and its subsequent pictures by using the decoding delay correction information and display delay correction information.

Abstract: A video encoding apparatus appends decoding delay and display delay correction information to encoded video data in order to ensure that even when one or more pictures that are later in encoding order than a starting encoded picture in a video data stream to be spliced to a trailing end of another encoded video data stream have been discarded from among pictures contained in the video data stream, the starting encoded picture and its subsequent pictures can be continuously decoded and displayed by a video decoding apparatus. The correction information is calculated based on a decoding interval between each discarded picture and a picture that immediately precedes the discarded picture. The video decoding apparatus corrects the decoding delay and display delay of the starting encoded picture and its subsequent pictures by using the calculated correction information.

Abstract: A visual field examination system measures the visual field of an eye. Quantitative information of a 3D retinal layer structure is acquired by detecting a range in which a peak of a retinal reflectance distribution obtained by OCT scanning is lost. A position of the fovea of the eye fundus is identified based on the acquired information. A location of a range in which the peak of the retinal reflectance distribution is lost is specified in a 2D fundus image based on the position of the fovea, and the specified location is marked on a region of the 2D fundus image. A position of the marked region is detected, and a visual inspection field region is generated based on the detection. Visual field examination points of the visual inspection field region are presented to the eye through a visual field dome for carrying out visual field examination of the eye.
