Abstract: A decoding LSI adaptable to MPEG4 is provided with a
padding means for performing padding on decoded texture data, an
arithmetic decoding means for performing arithmetic decoding on
coded shape data, and a composition means for compositing a
plurality of texture data to generate composite image data. The
padding means, the arithmetic decoding means, and the composition
means are implemented by hardware circuits, i.e., a padding
engine, an arithmetic decoding engine, and a composition engine,
respectively. Therefore, the decoding LSI can perform high-speed
decoding on a bitstream corresponding to plural objects, such as
images, which are compressively coded by the MPEG4 coding method,
with reduced cost of the hardware circuits performing the
decoding process.

IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: In a 3D computer graphics system such as a 3D home video game console, efficient
techniques for generating non-photorealistic effects such as cartoon outlining involve
generating and displaying border lines at object edges based on contents of a pixel memory.
Some techniques use depth (Z) values to determine (106) which pixels are located at object
edges, and selectively blend (110) border coloration into those pixels which are then
displayed. Object edges are located by comparing pixel depth values with neighboring
pixel depth values (e.g., calculating a "distance" value based on the absolute values of the
distance(s) between a pixel's depth and depths of neighboring pixels). A desired border
line color is blended into the pixel's color value based on the calculated distance value. In
one particular example, the distance value is used to calculate (108) a pixel Alpha value
which is then used to control the amount of border color that is blended into the pixel
color. The Alpha value may be modulated by pixel depth. Other techniques may cause
object portions with identification values stored in frame buffer locations normally used
(354 to 356) to store Alpha values. These ID values can be used to identify object portion
intersections for applying a border line color to.

Abstract: Encoding parameters of picture and higher layers of
importance to a number of applications, and encoding
parameters of slice and lower layers of no importance to
all applications are converted into auxiliary packets
inserted respectively into a V-blanking area and an H-blanking
area of a video-data signal output by a history-information-multiplexing
apparatus employed in a video-decoding
system. On the other hand, a video-encoding
system extracts back the auxiliary packets superposed on
the V-blanking area and the H-blanking area from an input
base-band video signal. As a result, a technique of
superposing information on data can be changed in
accordance with the importance of the information and
required information can be fetched with ease.

Abstract: In an optical head for use in an optical data
recording/reproducing apparatus of the present invention, light
issuing from a semiconductor laser (1) is split into a main beam that is
zeroth order light and subbeams that are positive and negative
first-order diffracted light. A focus error signal is detected from
each of the main beam and subbeams. A diffraction optical element
causes the main beam and subbeams to differ in light intensity
distribution from each other when incident to an object lens. As a
result, when a disk or optical recording medium has a thickness error,
the focus error signal derived from the main beam and focus error
signals derived from the subbeams differ in zero-crossing point from
each other. The thickness error is detected on the basis of the
difference between the zero-crossing points.
