Inventor: KENICHI MIYASAKO
IPC: H04N19/53
Filed: 2015-06-12
Abstract: An apparatus and method for a playback operation, where the areas that motion vector detection is to be done is determined by metadata. The metadata is information related to motion vector detection performed on an image signal output from an image sensor, upon which a reduction or compression processing to reduce the number of pixels has been done. The motion vector detection is then done either on the full resolution image signal output or a less reduced or compressed image (i.e. at a higher resolution than when the metadata was calculated). The motion vector detection may be used to direct the image processing unit and decoding for display.

The measurement may be of an overlap on the detector of an edge of a shadow 271 cast by the phantom. The detectors may each detect a projected feature when the phantom is at an isocentre of the radiotherapy apparatus. The controller may determine a position of the phantom in a second coordinate system using an imaging system (136, figure 1). Additional detectors (712, figure 7) may be used to detect the edge of the radiation beam.
