Abstract: A terminal device used for stereo imaging includes: an image shooting unit; a communication unit that receives a first image of a first angular field from an external terminal device; and a determination unit that determines the image shooting range relationship between the first image received by the communication unit and a second image of a second angular field shot by the image shooting unit, the second angular field being wider than the first angular field.

Abstract: A terminal device retains a character image of an own terminal user and a character image of a second terminal user acquired from an AR database server (or second terminal devices) as a character definition in an AR control unit. The terminal device can acquire the position of the second terminal device and a direction in which a camera unit is oriented. The terminal device of a photographer determines whether the user of the second terminal device which is being searched for is present in the acquired direction by causing image recognition unit to identify a face image of a specific user of the second terminal device. When the specific user of the second terminal device is present, the character image of the specific user of the second terminal device is combined in the vicinity of a face image region of the image obtained by the camera unit and is displayed.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image display device includes: a cursor drawing control unit controlling cursor drawing in a first mode in which a cursor is displayed on an image for one of left and right eyes and no cursor is displayed on an image for the other eye and cursor drawing in a second mode in which a cursor is displayed with a depth by using parallax of images for both left and right eyes; and an image analysis unit performing, when cursor drawing is switched from the first mode to the second mode, image matching on the basis of a position indicated by a cursor on an image for the one eye to search for a corresponding position on an image for the other eye and obtaining a cursor display position on the image for the other eye.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a plurality of images can be simply synthesized with each other without preparing a specific image such as an image extracting image. In this image processing apparatus, a distribution rate of the respective color data of each of pixels in first image data and second image data is calculated in the case that the first image data is synthesized with the second image data based on transmittance data of the first and second image data,and a value of color data of each pixel in a synthesized image is calculated, and then the first image data is synthesized with the second image data based upon this color data value.

Abstract: In an image processing system utilized with a car navigation system, an image photographed by a digital camera is coordinated with a map image in relation to this photographed image, so that a driver can readily confirm where this photographed image has been acquired with respect to the map. The image processing system includes: an image storage unit for storing photographed image data and positional information data acquired in correspondence with the photographed image data; a map image storage unit for storing map image data; a retrieval unit for retrieving a position with respect to the map image data stored in the map image storage unit based upon the positional information data stored in the image storage unit; and an image output unit for outputting a map image of the map image data about the position retrieved by the retrieval unit, and a photographed image of the photographed image data in correspondence with the map image data.

Abstract: In a character string outputting apparatus, a character frame is produced by substituting a numeral sequence indicative of an arranging position of each character contained in a desirable character string for a character string configuration function. In this character frame, the respective characters for constituting the desirable character string are allocated within an arbitrary designated character string configuration region. Thus, the fonts for constituting the desirable character string are arranged within the produced character frame, and also the enlarging rate of the respective characters is variable by moving the origins of the fonts about these characters when these fonts are arranged. This character string outputting apparatus may be utilized as such a character string outputting apparatus capable of outputting a proportional spacing font.

Abstract: A train of characters as the output target is designated by a key operation section and an area lying between two lines is designed as a character train layout range. A character frame generator evenly divides the character train layout range by the number of characters in the character train to determine the character frame coordinates of the individual characters. Then, the character frame generator compensates for the width of each character frame in accordance with the ratio of that character frame occupying in the character train layout range. A print data generator alters individual characters to the sizes corresponding to the obtained character frames, and lays out and prints the altered characters in the associated character frames.
