26 Nov 1997TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical processing apparatus and method for video and audio data for producing, modifying or deleting a playlist formed from information of reproduction times, channels, and so forth of programs in the form of video data.
Abstract: A hierarchical processing apparatus and method for video and audio data for producing, modifying or deleting a playlist formed from information of reproduction times, channels and so forth of programs in the form of video and audio data is disclosed. The hierarchical processing apparatus includes an image of a first hierarchy for displaying a plurality of playlists formed from a plurality of clips which are video and audio data and additional information corresponding to the clips in a list and selecting one of the playlists to determine a playlist of an object of modification or a playlist of an object of deletion, and an image of a second hierarchy for selecting one of the plurality of clips and adding, to the selected clip, corresponding additional information to produce or modify the playlist. The image of the first hierarchy and the image of the second hierarchy allow transition therebetween in a series of operations. Further, they allow reproduction of the video and audio data of a clip included in the selected playlist at any time. Consequently, while a result of a work is confirmed, editing of a playlist can be performed, thereby improving the efficiency in editing.

21 Nov 2001TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a delta arrangement for the sub-pixel circuits to improve the reliability of the subpixel circuits while utilizing the advantages of the delta arrangement of the light emitting portions, and thus realize a highreliability, high-definition, and high-brightness display apparatus.
Abstract: In an active matrix type display apparatus according to the present invention, the following measures are provided when stacking, on a substrate, a device layer (light emitting portion) formed by arranging a light emitting portion in a sub-pixel unit and a circuit layer (sub-pixel circuit) formed by arranging a sub-pixel circuit for driving the light emitting portion in the sub-pixel unit: the apparatus has a stripe arrangement as the arrangement of sub-pixel circuits and a delta arrangement as the arrangement of light emitting portions. Therefore, it is possible to improve reliability of the sub-pixel circuits while utilizing the advantages of the delta arrangement of the light emitting portions, and thus realize a high-reliability, high-definition, and high-brightness display apparatus.

10 Dec 2002TL;DR: The CS Freiburg team is presented, the winner in the middle-size league at RoboCup 1998, 2000, and 2001, and the developed methods promise to advance the state of the art in the multirobot field.
Abstract: Robotic soccer is a challenging research domain because many different research areas have to be addressed in order to create a successful team of robot players. The paper presents the CS Freiburg team, the winner in the middle-size league at RoboCup 1998, 2000, and 2001. The paper focuses on multiagent coordination for both perception and action. The contributions of the paper are new methods for tracking ball and players observed by multiple robots, team coordination methods for strategic team formation and dynamic role assignment; a rich set of basic skills allowing robots to respond to a large range of situations in an appropriate way, and an action-selection method based on behavior networks, as well as a method to learn the skills and their selection. As demonstrated by evaluations of the different methods and by the success of the team, these methods permit the creation of a multirobot group which is able to play soccer successfully. In addition, the developed methods promise to advance the state of the art in the multirobot field.

05 Feb 2004TL;DR: In this paper, an icon display system is provided in which an icon train selectable on an icon menu screen is managed by a display icon management table and non-display icon management tables to visualize a part of the entire icon train.
Abstract: An icon display system is provided in which an icon train selectable on an icon menu screen is managed by a display icon management table and non-display icon management table to visualize a part of the entire icon train. This is done by disposing the visualized icon train in an orbit while holding the other part of the icon train as invisible icons on the screen and displaying the invisible icons by moving the icon train in the orbit. Some icons are made to visually disappear at a discontinuity of the orbit by moving the icon train in the orbit and the new icons can be made to appear at the discontinuity to the screen. With this system, patterns of individual icons can be prevented from being indiscernible from each other no matter how many icons are set selectable on the display screen.

09 Sep 1981TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to conceal errors in a digital television signal, which has a plurality of component sample values corresponding respectively to sample positions along a horizontal scan line of a television picture made up of a pluralityof scan lines, in respect of each sample value which is in error.
Abstract: Concealing errors in a digital television signal, which has a plurality of component sample values corresponding respectively to sample positions along a horizontal scan line of a television picture made up of a plurality of scan lines, in respect of each sample value which is in error, by calculating a first concealment accuracy by determining the difference between two immediately adjacent sample values both in the scan line immediately preceding or following the scan line which the error sample is in, and one of which sample values is immediately adjacent to the error sample, calculating a second concealment accuracy by determining the difference between two immediately adjacent sample values both in the vertical line immediately preceding or following the vertical line which the error sample is in, and one of which sample values is immediately adjacent to the error sample, selecting from the available concealment accuracies a preferred direction of the television picture for concealing the error sample, calculating a corrected value of the error sample using available sample values disposed along the preferred direction, and substituting the corrected sample value for the error sample so as to conceal the error.
