Abstract: An image processor includes a boundary line detection portion configured to detect a boundary line by using an image in accordance with an image signal acquired by an imaging device, a parking frame detection portion configured to detect a parking frame by using the detected boundary line, an in-frame scanning portion configured to acquire a dividing point that divides a pair of facing sides of the boundary lines that define the parking frame and to scan the image through the dividing point to detect an edge, a storage portion configured to store a state of an edge and an attribute of the parking frame by linking them, and a determination portion configured to determine an attribute of the parking frame by using a state of the detected edge and the stored attribute of the parking frame that is linked to the state of the edge stored in the storage portion.

Abstract: A video game apparatus as a sound output apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU detects acceleration data included in input information data transmitted from a controller. The acceleration data is numerical value data for accelerations in three axial directions set to the controller. For example, a swinging motion of the controller in a right direction or a left direction is determined based on the acceleration in a direction of one axis (x-axis) out of three axes. In addition, a downward swinging motion of the controller and a posture of the controller at the time of end of swing are determined based on the acceleration in directions of two axes (y-axis and z-axis) other than the one axis. Accordingly, for example, a performance of a musical instrument displayed on a game screen is individually instructed.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes an LCD, and displayed on the LCD is a game screen including a display portion that displays a planar positional relationship between a player object and enemy objects present in a three-dimensional game space. The player object and enemy objects are flight objects, for example. Each time a player presses an X button, a selection state of an enemy object as a target of the player object is switched by turns according to priorities of the enemy objects. When the player continuously presses the X button over a certain period of time, regardless of the priorities of the enemy objects, the selection state is switched to that of a highest priority enemy object.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes an LCD. An on-earth object existing in a virtual game space is reproduced on the LCD from a viewpoint of capturing ahead of a flying object moving in the virtual game space. A velocity parameter and a direction parameter which defines the movement parameter of the flying object are changed in response to a button operation by a player. An altitude where the flying object will reach after a lapse of a time T (T>0) is predicted on the basis of the movement parameter of the flying object. A height above the sea level of the on-earth object existing in the predicted point is detected with reference to map data. Difference information indicating a difference between the detected height above the sea level of the on-earth object and altitude of the flying object is output to the player through the LCD.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU executes a game program stored in a game cartridge. During a game, the CPU corrects an ultraviolet ray value detected by an ultraviolet ray sensor in such a manner as to render equal or approximate to a setting value of the ultraviolet ray value in the game, and uses a corrected ultraviolet ray value for the game. In addition, the CPU detects an accumulated value of the ultraviolet ray to which a player is exposed during the game, and when the accumulated value is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount (dangerous level), prohibits a game process.

Abstract: Disclosed is an iron golf club head 1 comprising: a face plate 2 having a joint 22 formed on its rear surface; and an L-shaped bar whose lateral and longitudinal sections are used as a lateral neck elongation 3 and a hosel 4 of a longitudinal stick or shaft 5 respectively. The neck elongation 3 is integrally connected to the joint 22, and the shaft 5 is inserted into the hosel 4, allowing the face plate 2 to lie on the front side of the shaft 5. The iron golf head is good in directivity, and is almost free of shank, sclaff or any other mishit.
