20090022400 | IMAGE EXTRACTING APPARATUS, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND IMAGE EXTRACTING METHOD - Provided are a scene-transition-image extraction unit that extracts a scene transition image from a sequence of successive images using a predetermined extraction condition, a display unit that displays a near image of the scene transition image, an operation history acquiring unit that acquires image information of an image, for which a predetermined viewing operation is performed, among the near image(s) and history information of the operation, an extraction condition changing unit that changes the extraction condition using the image information and the history information of the operation acquired by the operation history acquiring unit. The scene-transition-image extraction unit re-extracts a scene transition image using the extraction condition changed by the extraction condition changing unit. | 01-22-2009 |
20090252390 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus for extracting images from a continuous image sequence includes a storage unit that stores image information about images constituting the image sequence; an image reading unit that reads the image information from the storage unit; and an image change amount calculating unit that calculates a predetermined image change amount between at least two images using the image information read by the image reading unit. The apparatus also includes an image change amount information adding unit that adds information about the image change amount calculated by the image change amount calculating unit to a corresponding image; and an image extracting unit that extracts a preset number of images from the image sequence based on the information added to each image by the image change amount information adding unit. | 10-08-2009 |
20100061597 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing device for processing time-series intraluminal images captured by an imaging device moving in an in-vivo lumen. The image processing device includes a structural area extracting unit that extracts a structural area from the intraluminal image; a corresponding area extracting unit that extracts a corresponding area corresponding to the structural area from the intraluminal image at a second time point different from a first time point at which the structural area is extracted; a lumen deep portion extracting unit that extracts a lumen deep portion, on which a deep portion in the lumen is captured, from the intraluminal image; and a movement amount estimating unit that estimates a movement amount of the imaging device based on positions of the structural area, the corresponding area and the lumen deep portion. | 03-11-2010 |
20100067808 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE EXTRACTION - The image extracting apparatus includes the scene-change-image extracting unit that extracts a scene change image located at a position at which a scene is changed from an image sequence acquired in time series by using a predetermined extraction condition, a comparing unit that compares the scene change image with an adjacent image that is acquired at a time adjacent to the time at which the scene change image is acquired within a predetermined time-series range, and a summary image extracting unit that extracts one of the scene change image and the adjacent image corresponding to the scene change image as a summary image by using the result compared by the comparing unit. | 03-18-2010 |
20100194869 | SCENE-CHANGE DETECTING DEVICE, COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING SCENE-CHANGE DETECTION PROGRAM, AND SCENE-CHANGE DETECTING METHOD - An image processing device includes a motion-vector detecting unit that detects motion vectors between an image and another image at a plurality of positions on the image, the image being at least a part of a plurality of images making up an image sequence; a pattern categorizing unit that categorizes the images into pattern groups each indicating a predetermined motion pattern, on the basis of the plurality of the motion vectors detected in the image; a group-based image-change detecting unit that detects, in each of the pattern groups, an image change between the images in the pattern group; and a group-based scene-change detecting unit that detects scene change in each of the pattern groups on the basis of the image change between the images in the pattern group. | 08-05-2010 |
20100277650 | SCENE-CHANGE DETECTION DEVICE - A scene-change detection device detects a scene change image from a continuous image sequence on the basis of an amount of change among a plurality of images. The scene-change detection device includes a feature-region extracting unit that extracts a feature region from an image in the image sequence; and a detecting unit that sets a condition of image-to-image change detection on the basis of a feature amount of the feature region extracted, calculates an image-to-image change amount, and detects a change among a plurality of images. | 11-04-2010 |
20140376792 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image summarization device includes a first image summarization section that performs a first image summarization process based on a similarity between a plurality of images to acquire a first summary image sequence, a second image summarization section that performs a second image summarization process based on a target object/scene recognition process on each image among the plurality of images to acquire a second summary image sequence, and an integration processing section that performs an integration process on the first summary image sequence and the second summary image sequence, or performs an integration process on the first image summarization process and the second image summarization process to acquire an output summary image sequence. | 12-25-2014 |
20150249790 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus receives an image signal and generates a display image having an image range associated with a display area of a display unit from an image based on the image signal. The image processing apparatus includes a position-of-interest-calculating-unit, a frame-out-accuracy-calculation-unit, an alteration-variable-decision-unit and an image-alteration-unit. The position-of-interest-calculating-unit calculates a position of interest as a position of an object of interest in the image. The frame-out-accuracy-calculation-unit calculates a frame-out accuracy representing an accuracy that the position of interest deviates from the image range based on the position of interest and the image range. The alteration-variable-decision-unit decides a processing variable of alteration processing performed with respect to the image in conformity with the frame-out accuracy. The image-alteration-unit performs the alteration processing with respect to the image in conformity with the decided processing variable to generate a signal of the display image. | 09-03-2015 |
