A method is provided for modifying an image. The method comprises displaying an image, the image comprising a portion of an object; and determining if an edge of the object is in a location within the portion. The method further comprises detecting movement, in a member direction, of an operating member with respect to the edge. The method still further comprises moving, if the edge is not in the location, the object in an object direction corresponding to the detected movement; and modifying, if the edge is in the location, the image in response to the detected movement, the modified image comprising the edge in the location.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

On a recording medium, stereoscopic and monoscopic specific areas are located one after another next to a stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area. The stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area is a contiguous area to be accessed both in stereoscopic video playback and monoscopic video playback. The stereoscopic specific area is a contiguous area to be accessed immediately before a long jump occurring in stereoscopic video playback. In both the stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area and the stereoscopic specific area, extents of base-view and dependent-view stream files are arranged in an interleaved manner. The extents on the stereoscopic specific area are next in order after the extents on the stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area. The monoscopic specific area is a contiguous area to be accessed immediately before a long jump occurring in monoscopic video playback. The monoscopic specific area has a copy of the entirety of the extents of the base-view stream file recorded on the stereoscopic specific area.

Recording medium, playback device, and integrated circuit

The present disclosure pertains to an image-processing device and method that make it possible to suppress block noise. A βLUT_input calculator and a clip processor determine βLUT_input, which is a value inputted to an existing-β generator and an expanded-β generator. When the value of βLUT_input qp from the clip processor is 51 or less, the existing-β generator determines β using a LUT conforming to the HVEC standard, and supplies same to a filter process determination unit. When the value of βLUT_input qp from the clip processor is larger than 51, the expanded-β generator determines the expanded β and supplies same to the filter process determination part. This disclosure, for example, can be applied to an image processing device.

Stereoscopic image display device

A display apparatus includes an image processor which processes an image to display an image content; a display unit which displays thereon an image content that is processed by the image processor; and a controller which displays a user interface (UI) menu including a plurality of UI items to search the image content, as one of a two-dimensional (2D) layout by which the plurality of UI items are arranged in a 2D manner, and a three-dimensional (3D) layout by which the plurality of UI items are arranged in a 3D manner , and changes displaying the one of the layouts to display the other of the layouts according to a user's command while maintaining a continuity of the arrangement of the plurality of UI items. Accordingly, search for an image content can be efficiently performed by using a UI menu.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

An image signal composed of sequential frames is input to a 3-dimensional image creating apparatus, frame by frame. A controller (102) designates the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. An image converter (101) creates image data in the format designated by the presence/absence of reduction and the presence/absence of joining. A 3D information creator (103) creates 3D information necessary for displaying the image as a 3-dimensional image by formatting the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. A multiplexer (104) converts image data and 3D information in a predetermined format and outputs them to the outside. In this way, it is possible to make the image data for 3-dimensional display versatile and select an arbitrary viewpoint image efficiently.

A multimedia information file including 3-demensional image data is added by 3-dimensional display control information (2) indicating which 3-dimensional display method is assumed for the 3-dimensional image data or which data format is used for recording the data. A 3-dimensional image reproduction device displays the 3-dimensional image data after performing an appropriate conversion according to the data characteristic obtained from the 3-dimensional display control information (2), so that the recorded 3-dimensional image data (3) can have a general purpose and the same 3-dimensional image data can be utilized for different 3-dimensional display methods.

Multimedia information generation method and multimedia information reproduction device

Disclosed herein is a 3-D image display unit that can be controlled flexibly to protect the user from eyestrain and operated easily The 3-D image display unit includes measuring means for measuring a display time of a 3-D image, parallax adjusting means for instructing 3-D image forming means to adjust the parallax of the 3-D image In the case where the 3-D image display time measured by the measuring means exceeds a predetermined time, the parallax adjusting means instructs the 3-D image forming means to reduce the parallax of the 3-D image to be formed, thereby the display means comes to display a 3-D image having a small parallax The user can thus be protected from eyestrain

A thin-out section (101) thins out image data corresponding to each of left and right viewpoints. A combining method selecting section (104) selects a combining method by which the discontinuity of a boundary part of synthetic image minimizes when the thinned-out image data is combined. The combining section (102) combines a plurality of image data by using the selected combining method. An encoding section (103) encodes the combined image data, and a combining method encoding section (105) encodes information on the combining method. A multiplexing section (106) multiplexes these coded data. Thus, the continuity of a synthetic image is enhanced to increase the encoding efficiency.
