  • Patent number: 10469793
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing device for sorting frames included in one moving image into different channels, the frames included in the moving image being a mixture of frames belonging to the different channels. The image processing device includes an automatic sorting unit. The automatic sorting unit calculates a similarity degree of the plurality of frames included in the moving image by performing image processing on the frames, and sorts the plurality of frames into the plurality of channels based on the similarity degree.

  • Patent number: 10216373
    Abstract: The image processing apparatus includes a group creation unit and a group adjustment unit. The group creation unit automatically creates a frame group that includes multiple frames that are a portion of the video and have undergone position adjustment with respect to one another such that the target object images overlap one another. The group adjustment unit receives, from a user, a designation of a group adjustment amount that is a position adjustment amount for the frame group, and performs position adjustment on the frames included in the frame group in accordance with the group adjustment amount. Note that automatically creating the frame group here means that rather than receiving a designation of a position adjustment amount from the user, the image processing apparatus automatically creates a frame group in accordance with a predetermined algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10169682
    Abstract: Provided is an image processing device for sorting frames included in one moving image into different channels, the frames included in the moving image being a mixture of frames belonging to the different channels. The image processing device includes an automatic sorting unit and a re-sorting unit. The automatic sorting unit calculates a similarity degree of the plurality of frames included in the moving image by performing image processing on the frames, and sorts the plurality of frames into the plurality of channels based on the similarity degree. The re-sorting unit accepts, from a user, an association operation of individually associating at least one non-sorted frame, which is not automatically sorted by the automatic sorting unit, with any of the plurality of channels, and individually sorts the non-sorted frame to any of the plurality of channels based on content of the association operation.

  • Patent number: 9129357
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus including an image processing unit and configured to generate an enlarged image of an original image. The image processing unit is configured to generate the enlarged image by sequentially and repeatedly executing an edge-enhancement and enlargement process on the original image. The edge-enhancement and enlargement process is a process for enhancing edges in an image while enlarging the image.

  • Patent number: 9025905
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus including a first image processing unit and a second image processing unit. The first image processing unit is configured to calculate a parameter for image processing based on a first image, but not based on a second image, and execute the image processing on the first image using the parameter. The second image processing unit is configured to execute the image processing on the second image using the parameter.

  • Patent number: 8749706
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that includes an interlacing determination unit and a deinterlacing unit is provided. The interlacing determination unit determines whether or not a frame is an interlaced image by performing image processing on body data of the frame. An interlaced image is an image that includes a top field image and a bottom field image at different times on a timeline. If it was determined that the frame is an interlaced image, the deinterlacing unit deinterlaces the frame and generates a new frame.
