Abstract: In an exercise support device of the present invention, acceleration signals in three axis directions including vertical, longitudinal, and lateral directions corresponding to the motion of a user performing exercise of cyclically moving feet are obtained, and a first maximum value in one cycle of a foot movement in the vertical acceleration signal is obtained. Subsequently, a search is made for first and second change points related to foot landing and takeoff motions in a composite acceleration signal obtained by combining acceleration signals in at least two axis directions, in forward and backward directions of the time point of a second maximum value of the composite acceleration signal, within the cycle. Then, a time period between the first and second change points is obtained as a change point interval, and a foot landing period while exercising is calculated based on the first maximum value and the change point interval.

Abstract: A reconstructed image which further reflects the photo shooting information of a main object is generated. A layer determiner defines a layer of a reconstructed image. A layer image generator reconstructs an image of an object included in the allocated depth range from a light field image and the depth map of the light field image for each layer. A conversion pixel extractor extracts corresponding pixels on a conversion layer which corresponds to an object to be modified. The object to be modified is designated by an operation acquired by a modification operation acquirer. A reconstructed image generator converts layer images using a conversion matrix defined by a conversion matrix determiner and generates an image whose composition has been modified by superimposing the layer images.

Abstract: A mask acquisition unit acquires a mask (region information) that matches photography setting information acquired by a photography setting acquisition unit, the mask defining a sub-image region of a light field image acquired by an LFI acquisition unit. A prototype definition unit disposes a prototype of a reconstructed image at a position of reconstruction setting in a reconstruction setting storage unit. A reconstructed pixel selecting unit selects a pixel of interest from pixels of a reconstructed image. A corresponding pixel extracting unit extracts, as a corresponding pixel, a pixel that corresponds to the pixel of interest and is included in a sub-image region of the acquired mask. A pixel value calculation unit calculates a pixel value of the pixel of interest from a pixel value of the corresponding pixel. An output unit decides pixel values of all reconstructed pixels as pixels of interest and generates and outputs a reconstructed image.

Abstract: The noise occurring is made to decrease in a case of a reconstructed image being generated from a lightfield image captured by way of a plenoptic camera. An image capturing device 1 is equipped with a main lens 31, a micro-lens array 32 having a plurality of micro-lenses 32-i, and an imaging element 33. Each edge of the micro-lens 32-i in the micro-lens array 32 is systematically disposed to continuously repeat, so as to be in line contact with an edge of another micro-lens 32-i. An aperture shape of the main lens 31 has substantially the same shape as a shape of the micro-lens 32-i. The ratios of the length of each edge of the plurality of micro-lenses 32-i to a focal distance are substantially the same.

Abstract: Noise that occurs when a reconstituted image is generated from a light field image captured by a plenoptic camera is reduced. A light field image acquisition section 71 acquires data of a light field image formed of an aggregation of plural sub-images respectively generated by plural microlenses 32-i, which data is obtained as a result of imaging by an imaging device 1. An interpolated light field image generation section 75 generates data of one or more interpolated light field images formed of aggregations of plural imaginary sub-images. A reconstituted image generation section 76 uses the data of the light field image and the data of the one or more interpolated light field images to generate data of a reconstituted image.
