Image processing method, image processing apparatus, and image enlarging method

An interpolated image obtained by enlarging and interpolating an image (IN) is subjected to predetermined vector transformation to calculate an image feature vector. Also, a characteristic of a subject is obtained to calculate a physical characteristic parameter of the interpolated image. The physical characteristic parameter is used to transform the image feature vector to sharpen the interpolated image. The transformed image feature vector is subjected to transformation inverse to the predetermined vector transformation to generate an enlarged image (ELI).

Method of controlling communications between at least two users of a communication system

A communication system includes at least a sound re-production system (13-16,18-20) for audibly reproducing sound communicated by one user to another. A method of controlling communications between at least one first and at least one second user of the communication system includes adjusting the sound reproduction system (13-16,18-20) so as to cause an apparent distance between the other user and a location of an origin of the reproduced sound as perceived by the other user to be adjusted. Data (23,25) representative of at least one indicator of at least an interpersonal relation of the at least one first user and the at least one second user is obtained. The apparent distance is determined at least in part according to a pre-determined functional relationship between an indicator of at least an interpersonal relation and a desired interpersonal distance.

Direct control of X-ray focal spot movement

An X-ray imaging system includes an x-ray image acquisition unit, a display unit, an input unit, and adapting means. The x-ray image acquisition unit acquires a first image of a volume of interest of an object in a first projection direction and acquires a second image in a second projection direction. The display unit displays the first and the second image. The input unit determines the second projection direction by an input of a user. The user input includes a change in a viewing-direction of the user viewing the first image. The adapting means adapt a spatial relation between the projection direction of the image acquisition unit and the volume of interest of the object such that the projection direction correlates with the second viewing direction.
