  • VIDEO ENCODING/ DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOTION COMPENSATION PREDICTION
    Publication number: 20100272178
    Abstract: A video encoding method and apparatus to select one combination, for each block of an input video signal, from a plurality of combinations. Each combination includes a predictive parameter and at least one reference picture number determined in advance for the reference picture. A prediction picture signal is generated in accordance with the reference picture number and predictive parameter of the selected combination. A predictive error signal is generated representing an error between the input video signal and the prediction picture signal. Encoding the predictive error signal, information of the motion vector, and index information indicating the selected combination is included.

  • PAIR OF PROGRESSIVE POWER LENS AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING SAME
    Publication number: 20100271590
    Abstract: An object is to reduce the inconvenience given to the binocular vision function when wearing and using spectacles making use of a pair of progressive power lenses having different distance dioptric power for right and left. For this reason, the present invention associates, in a pair of progressive power lenses corresponding to the right and left eyes, an average dioptric power distribution and an astigmatism distribution determined from prescribed dioptric power and a wear state of one of the progressive power lenses with an average dioptric power distribution and an astigmatism distribution determined from prescribed dioptric power and a wear state of the other progressive power lens, and thereby average dioptric power distributions and astigmatism distributions of the respective progressive power lenses are changed.
