Inventor: IKEDA IKUYO
IPC: G06F3/12

Abstract: In an image processor, an image property determination unit extracts
a portion having extremely high luminance in image data as a high
luminance pixel area, from the whole image, to determine the property of the
input image data. An edge pixel extraction unit extracts pixels in the portion
where the brightness level largely changes, for each of the respective pixels.
A subject portion determination unit regards the position of the edge pixel as
a boundary between the high luminance pixel area and the subject portion,
based on the information for the extracted high luminance pixel area and the
edge pixels. The subject portion determination unit then determines an area
as the subject portion, the area being opposite to the high luminance pixel
area with respect to the boundary. A brightness correction unit corrects the
brightness of the subject portion and the high luminance pixel area.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus defines the route of movement from the current location
to the destination on the basis of map information. It acquires road information relating
to characteristics of the current road on which the vehicle is running and those of each of
the branch roads extending from the fork located ahead of the current road by way of road
information acquiring section 21. The acquired road information is collated with the
requirement information stored in requirement information storage section 22 and the
number of points correlated with the requirement that is met or not met are added or
subtracted, whichever appropriate, to determine the total number of points by the
agreement judging section 23. If the total number of points is greater than a threshold
value, the navigation apparatus judges that the vehicle may not divert from the route of
movement and restricts or suppresses guidance for driving the vehicle provided by
guidance notification section 18. If, on the other hand, the total number of points is
smaller than the threshold value, the navigation apparatus judges that the vehicle may
divert from the route of movement and allows the guidance notification section 18 to
provide guidance.

Abstract: A series of hardware pipeline units each processing a stride during prefix search operations on a multi-bit trie includes, within at least one pipeline unit other than the last pipeline unit, a mechanism for retiring search results from the respective pipeline unit rather than passing the search results through the remaining pipeline units. Early retirement may be triggered by either the absence of subsequent strides to be processed or completion (a miss or end node match) of the search, together with an absence of active search operations in subsequent pipeline units. The early retirement mechanism may be included in those pipeline units corresponding to a last stride for a maximum prefix length shorter than the pipeline (e.g., 20 or 32 bits rather than 64 bits), in pipeline units selected on some other basis, or in every pipeline unit. Worst-case and/or average latency for prefix search operations is reduced.

Abstract: A decision as to whether to perform backlight adjustment processing is executed using both image data and image generation record information, and when it is decided to execute the same, backlight adjustment processing to increase brightness value of at least some pixels in the image data is executed. The decision is made by: (i) first judgment to decide whether or not the image generation record information negates necessity of the backlight adjustment processing, and (ii) second judgment, when the image generation record information does not negate the necessity of the backlight adjustment processing in the first judgment, to decide whether or not to execute the backlight adjustment processing based on a pixel value histogram of the image data.

Abstract: In a video system, a method and system for control of a multi-field deinterlacer including visually pleasing start-up and shut-down are provided. During a hard start, a deinterlacer may deinterlace a first received field and provide the resulting frame for display until sufficient fields are received to generate a pixel constellation for deinterlacing subsequent received fields. The deinterlacer may also provide a constant frame for display until sufficient fields are received to generate the pixel constellation. During normal operation, the deinterlacer may mitigate the effects of a discrepancy as to the received field type. When a video source is jittery or there is uncertainty as to the field type, deinterlacing may be forced to be based on spatial information. When a video source is shut off, a portion of the remaining stored fields may be flushed. At least one of the flushed fields may be deinterlaced and displayed.
