32results about How to "Suppresses Image Quality Deterioration" patented technology

A driving support system which includes: at least two cameras take images of areas around a vehicle, whose ranges of field of view partially overlap with each other; a control unit performing a predetermined coordinate transformation on the images taken by the cameras and joining the transformed images together to produce an overhead view image; and a display unit to display the overhead view image. The control unit changes the position of the joint of the transformed images in the overhead view image.

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device in which a direction of an orientation axis of a liquid crystal is changed based on an electric field component in a direction different from a normal direction of a main surface of a substrate, and electronic equipment including the liquid crystal display device. , the liquid crystal display device includes: a transmissive part and a reflective part arranged on the substrate; wherein, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal in the transmissive part is different from the voltage applied to the liquid crystal in the reflective part. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention can be mass-produced with high yield, and can suppress image quality deterioration.

A video encoding method includes: a digital-sequence conversion step for converting image block encoded data into a digital-sequence symbol; a binary arithmetic encoding step for subjecting each digital-sequence symbol to arithmetic encoding in accordance with a context; an estimation step for estimating the number of bits required for the binary arithmetic encoding of the encoded data for the image block; an encoded data decision step for deciding whether to subject the encoded data to the binary arithmetic encoding in accordance with the number of bits estimated by the estimation step for output; and a context update step for updating the context corresponding the encoded data decided to be subjected to the binary arithmetic encoding for output by the encoded data decision step and not updating the context corresponding to the encoded data decided not to be subjected to the binary arithmetic encoding for output by the encoded data decision step. The estimation step uses the maximum value of the number of arithmetic encoding output bits for the input symbol to the binary arithmetic encoding as the aforementioned number of bits.

An encoding apparatus generates low-frequency component subband data and high-frequency component subband data from image data; generates, from low-frequency component subband data generated from first image data, second image data that has a same resolution as that of the first image data. The apparatus obtains a difference between high-frequency component subband data generated from the first image data and high-frequency component subband data generated from the second image data; and encodes the low-frequency component subband data of the first image data and the difference in order to generate encoded data.
