A first aspect of the present invention relates to a method for low-frequency emphasizing the spectrum of a sound signal transformed in a frequency domain and comprising transform coefficients grouped in a number of blocks, in which a maximum energy for one block is calculated and a position index of the block with maximum energy is determined, a factor is calculated for each block having a position index smaller than the position index of the block with maximum energy the calculated maximum energy and the energy of the block, and, for each block, a gain determining from the factor is applied to the transform coefficients of the block. Another aspect of the invention is concerned with an HF coding method for coding, through a bandwidth extension scheme, an HF signal obtained from separation of a full-bandwidth sound signal into the HF signal and a LF signal, in which an estimation of the an HF gain is calculated from LPC coefficients, the energy of the HF signal is calculated, the LF signal is processed to produce a synthesized version of the HF signal, the energy of the synthesized version of the HF signal is calculated, a ratio between the energy of the HF signal and the energy of the synthesized version of the HF signal is calculated and expressing as an HF gain, and a difference between the estimation of the HF gain and the HF gain is calculated to obtain a gain correction. A third aspect of the invention is concerned with a method for producing from a decoded target signal an overlap-add target signal in a current frame coded according to a first coding mode. According to this method, the decoded target signal of the current frame is windowed and a left portion of the window is skipped. A zero-input response of a weighting filter of the previous frame coded according to a second coding mode is calculated and windowed so that the zero-input response has an amplitude monotonically decreasing to zero after a predetermined time period. Finally, the calculated zero-input response is added to the decoded target signal to reconstruct the overlap-add target signal.

The present technique relates to a sound processing apparatus, a method, and a program capable of alleviating degradation of the quality of sound in a case where the gain of a sound signal is amplified.When equalizer processing for adjusting the gain of each frequency band of an input signal on the basis of a gain setting value is performed, an input signal is attenuated by an input attenuation amount derived from the gain setting value, and the equalizer processing is performed on the input signal attenuated. The amount of amplification of the gain of the input signal in the equalizer processing is estimated on the basis of the gain setting value and a weight coefficient of each frequency band derived from a generally-available music signal prepared in advance, and a difference of the estimation value and the input attenuation amount is calculated as a gain correction amount. Further, nonlinear amplification processing is performed on the input signal so as to actually amplify the input signal, which has been subjected to the equalizer processing, by a gain correction amount, and an output signal is obtained. The present technique can be applied to a sound processing apparatus.

When a gain correction is performed for the radiographed object image, the acquisition of the object image having a high grade quality and no artifact is realized.

A magnetic field sensor and a method associated with the magnetic field sensor provide gain correction coefficients and / or offset correction coefficients stored in the magnetic field sensor in digital form. The gain correction coefficients and / or offset correction coefficients can be used to generate analog control signals to control a sensitivity and / or an offset of an analog signal path through the magnetic field sensor.

A primary color dot gain correction unit corrects the spectral reflectance of each of a plurality of color agents on the basis of the dot quantity set for each color agent. An initial estimated value calculator estimates a mixed color by the KM theory using spectral reflectance data corrected by the primary color dot gain correction unit. An ink overlap correction coefficient storage unit stores correction coefficients, which are determined on the basis of errors between the actually measured values of spectral reflectance data of color patches obtained using the plurality of color agents, and estimated values estimated by the initial estimated value calculator based on the dot quantities of the respective color agents on the color patches. An ink overlap correction unit obtains the prediction result of a reproduction color by correcting the spectral reflectance data of the mixed color calculated by the initial estimated value calculator on the basis of the correction coefficients stored in the ink overlap correction coefficient storage unit.

A correction process is performed using different gain correction signals (GSA, GSB) in accordance with radiographic modes (moving image radiographic mode / still image radiographic mode) set in an X-ray imaging apparatus, respectively. This makes it possible to acquire an image with decreased correction errors even when the X-ray imaging apparatus is configured using an imaging unit having different gain characteristics in the still image radiographic mode and moving image radiographic mode.

A method for calibrating a fixed gain amplifier configured as a front-end amplification stage of an analog-to-digital converter including sampling a calibration voltage with normal and inversed polarity and with the fixed gain amplifier bypassed and with the fixed gain amplifier connected. An actual gain value of the fixed gain amplifier is computed from offset corrected digital output codes generated from converting the calibration voltage. A gain correction value for the fixed gain amplifier can then be computed based on the ratio of the actual gain to the ideal gain. In another embodiment, a method for calibrating an analog-to-digital converter including a fixed gain amplifier, an input buffer and a modulator generates an offset correction value using normal and polarity inversed input samples. The offset correct value provides correction for at least offset errors in the fixed gain amplifier, the input buffer and the modulator.
