  • Publication number: 20240129529
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing device and method capable of suppressing an increase in the amount of coding. A spraying attribute projection image, which is used for spraying for adding an attribute to a geometry in the reconstruction of 3D data in a three-dimensional space, is generated by projecting an attribute of 3D data representing an object in a three-dimensional shape onto a two-dimensional plane independently of the projection of the geometry of the 3D data onto the two-dimensional plane, and coding is performed on a frame image in which the spraying attribute projection image is disposed. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing device, an electronic device, an image processing method, or a program or the like.

  • Publication number: 20240129555
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and a method that enable decoding of encoded data of an octree in various processing orders. The octree corresponding to point cloud data is encoded after the context is initialized for each layer of the octree. Further, a breadth-first order or a depth-first order is selected as the decoding order for the encoded data of the octree corresponding to point cloud data, and the encoded data is decoded in the selected decoding order. The present disclosure can be applied to an image processing apparatus, an electronic apparatus, an image processing method, a program, or the like, for example.

  • Patent number: 11948337
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to image processing apparatus and method that can prevent a reduction in image quality. Geometry data that is a frame image having arranged thereon a projected image obtained by projecting 3D data representing a three-dimensional structure on a two-dimensional plane and includes a special value indicating occupancy map information in a range is generated. The generated geometry data is encoded. Further, the encoded data on the geometry data is decoded, and a depth value indicating a position of the 3D data and the occupancy map information are extracted from the decoded geometry data. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, electronic equipment, an information processing method, or a program.

  • Patent number: 11943457
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, an encoding device, a decoding device, an information processing method, and a program that facilitate scalable decoding of attribute information. Regarding the attribute information about a point cloud representing a three-dimensional object, a process of classifying the respective points of the point cloud into prediction points that are the points at which difference values between the attribute information and predicted values are left, and reference points that are the points at which the attribute information is referred to during derivation of the predicted values is recursively repeated on the reference points, so that the attribute information is hierarchized.

  • Patent number: 11922579
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that are capable of suppressing an increase in loads when a point cloud is generated from a mesh. Point cloud data is generated by positioning points at intersection points between a surface of a mesh and vectors each including, as a start origin, position coordinates corresponding to a specified resolution. For example, intersection determination is performed between the surface of the mesh and each of the vectors, and in a case where the surface and the vector are determined to intersect each other, the coordinates of the intersection point are calculated. The present disclosure can be applied to an image processing apparatus, electronic equipment, an image processing method, a program, or the like.

  • Patent number: 11917201
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information generation method that enable suppression of deterioration in subjective quality of a point cloud. There is generated an occupancyMap indicating, for each local area of a frame image, presence or absence of a projection image of a point cloud on a two-dimensional plane in accordance with a positional relationship of points in a three-dimensional space, while the point cloud represents an object having a three-dimensional shape as a set of the points. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an encoding device, a decoding device, or the like.

  • Patent number: 11915390
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing device and a method capable of suppressing lowering of image quality. Correction information that is information regarding correction of 3D data representing a three-dimensional structure constructed using 2D data representing a two-dimensional image is generated, and the generated correction information is coded. Furthermore, coded data of correction information that is information regarding correction of 3D data representing a three-dimensional structure constructed using 2D data representing a two-dimensional image is decoded, and 3D data is constructed using the 2D data and correction information generated by decoding coded data of the correction information. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing device, an image processing device, an electronic apparatus, an information processing method, a program, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20140148922
    Abstract: A control system including at least two controllers configured to serve as initiators to control a control target device. The control system includes a confirmation unit configured to operate one of the two controllers as an initiator and the other controller as a target to confirm statuses of the two controllers, and a validation unit configured to operate an abnormal controller which is confirmed by the confirmation unit as a target and a normal controller as an initiator and performs a data access process on the target to validate a function of the abnormal controller.

  • Patent number: 7925919
    Abstract: A disk management method for managing a disk management device for writing and reading data to and from a disk drive in which a recording medium is managed in a first control unit. The disk management method includes an error checking operation for checking an error on the recording medium in the first control unit, an error correction operation for correcting the error detected in the error, an error correcting operation for correcting the error detected in the error checking operation after converting data including the error to the second control unit, a data loss registration operation for registering a region in which data are lost due to an inconsistency between the first control unit and second control unit in a data loss region table, and a data loss recovery operation for recovering the loss of data with reference to the data loss region table.

  • Patent number: 7590884
    Abstract: In a storage system, a disk device performs recovery and transfers read data to a control device, and the control device judges the validity of the recovery to prevent a transfer of erroneous data. A control device read-accesses a disk device, and the disk device returns read data and a recovered read error response. A control device, at the time of an initial recovered read error, performs a retry of a similar command, and if an error does not occur for read commands including the retry read command, judges the data to be valid. Uncertain data (suspect data) upon occurrence of a recovered read error is restored through disk retry, and accurate read data can be transferred to the host.
