Image processing device, image processing method, program, storage medium and integrated circuit

Abstract: It is an object to easily, and using existing devices, perform shadow enhancement that achieves an increase in the feeling of depth of 2D video. The input image data are first converted into brightness information by a brightness information calculation portion. Then, based on that brightness information, the normal direction and the edge information in the pixel targeted for processing are estimated by a normal direction estimation portion. A corrected gradation derivation portion then performs correction processing such as the addition of shadow component on the input image based on the brightness information and the estimated normal direction and edge information to create a processed image that has a feeling of depth, and then an output portion converts this to a predetermined image format and outputs it. In this way, it is possible to easily increase the feeling of depth of a 2D image through the addition of shadow, for example, in accordance with the characteristics of the input image.

Fuel cell system, fuel feed system for fuel cell and portable electric appliance

Abstract: A fuel cell system has a fuel cell of solid polymer type, a rectangular parallelepiped sealing container for accommodating hydrogen occlusion alloy for occluding hydrogen to be supplied to said fuel cell, a connection portion provided in a hydrogen passage between said sealing container and said fuel cell for connecting said sealing container and said fuel cell detachably, a valve mechanism provided in said hydrogen passage for opening and shutting hydrogen gas, and a hydrogen flow rate control mechanism provided in said hydrogen passage for controlling the flow rate of hydrogen gas, and/or hydrogen pressure control mechanism for controlling the pressure of hydrogen gas.

Recordable optical disc, optical disc recording apparatus, optical disc reproduction apparatus, and method for recording data onto recordable optical disc

Abstract: A DVD-R recorder according to the invention detects an item of recording speed information (d15) from a DVD-R (30) on which histories of recording speed information, write strategy, and recording power condition are stored. When the decoded item of recording speed information (d15) agrees with a set item of recording speed information (d17), the recorder detects the write strategy (d6) and the recording power condition (d10) corresponding to the decoded item of recording speed information (d15). A recording-pulse-determination section (9) converts a recording pattern (d8) into a recording pulse (d9) according to the write strategy (d6). A recording-power-determination section (12) performs an OPC based on the recording power condition (d10). The recording power condition (d10) may include information specifying that a recording pulse corresponding to the front edge of a recorded mark has a larger recording power than other recording pulses.
