Patent number: 11983855Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a change detection unit configured to detect phase changes in multiple predetermined directions from among phase changes in a luminance image in units of mutually different resolutions, and a reliability estimation unit configured to estimate reliability of the detected phase change based on temporal amplitude change information in the multiple directions determined in the luminance image. The reliability estimation unit may estimate the reliability using an amplitude change of multiple resolutions and using a value of an amplitude change equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value among images having multiple resolutions. The reliability may become a greater value as the amplitude change becomes larger.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Shoichiro Takeda, Kazuki Okami, Megumi Isogai, Hideaki Kimata

Publication number: 20230079569Abstract: A sound source separation device (10) acquires, from a mixed signal including sounds that came from a plurality of sound sources, a separated signal including an emphasized sound for every sound source. A signal conversion unit (1) converts the mixed signal into the frequency domain. A separated signal estimation unit (2) acquires the separated signals from the mixed signal using an optimized filter. A gradient calculation unit (3) calculates the gradient of a cost function using the mixed signal and the separated signals. A filter update unit (4) optimizes the filter to fulfill separating, for every sound source, a sound emitted from the sound source, and to fulfill having, for every sound source, strong directivity in a direction of the sound source compared with a direction not of the sound source. A signal inverse conversion unit (5) converts the separated signals into the time domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Shoichiro TAKEDA, Kenta NIWA, Shinya SHIMIZU

Publication number: 20220237825Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a change detection unit configured to detect color or luminance change for each of different resolutions among changes in color or luminance in a color or luminance image, and a reliability estimation unit configured to estimate reliability of the detected color or luminance change based on temporal color or luminance change in the color or luminance image. The reliability estimation unit estimates the reliability based on a diffusion result of the temporal color or luminance change in the color or luminance image. The reliability has a greater value when the diffusion result shows anisotropy.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2019Publication date: July 28, 2022Applicant: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Shoichiro TAKEDA, Kazuki OKAMI, Megumi ISOGAI, Hideaki KIMATA
