Digital photography with flash/no flash extension

A system and method for improving digital flash photographs. The present invention is a technique that significantly improves low-light imaging by giving the end-user all the advantages of flash photography without producing the jarring look. The invention uses an image pair—one taken with flash the other without—to remove noise from the ambient image, sharpen the ambient image using detail from the flash image, correct for color, and remove red-eye.

Brightness level converting apparatus, brightness level converting method, solid-state image pickup apparatus, brightness level converting program, and recording medium

A brightness level converting apparatus improves a contrast of an image represented by an image pickup signal output from a logarithmic conversion solid-state image pickup device, so as to obtain a natural image. For this purpose, the brightness level converting apparatus converts brightness levels in the image pickup signal output from the solid-state image pickup device which logarithmically converts an incident light quantity. In the brightness level converting apparatus, a brightness level converting section converts the brightness levels in the image pickup signal by using a brightness level converting function expressed by an S-shaped curve which indicates the relation between an input brightness level and an output brightness level and includes one inflexion point. Therefore, the contrast in a low brightness level range in the image pickup signal is reduced. At the same time, the contrast in a high brightness level range is reduced while appropriately keeping a gradation. With this, the contrast in an intermediate brightness level range in the image pickup signal is improved considerably. Therefore, the image represented by the image pickup signal whose brightness levels are converted becomes a further natural image.

Faux-stone architectural panel system

A set of faux-stone architectural panel members can be installed to create a stone-look wall or facade. Each panel member is cast from a concrete mixture of a cement or bonding agent and a light-weight aggregate. The various panel member may have one, two or three courses, i.e., rows, with the courses being offset at their ends, so as to achieve mating tenons and voids in respect to adjacent successive panel members. The tenons and voids of the panel members interfit or dovetail at corners. A coloring agent is applied onto said stone faces of the panel members. Hanger straps are embedded in the panel members and protrude up from them for attaching to a wall substrate using drywall screws or similar fasteners.

Reproducing device and method, recording medium and program

Video data recorded on a non-linearly accessible information recording medium is searched in the same manner as the operation of a VTR. In high-speed playback at 8-x speed, a screen is horizontally divided into 8. Eight different frames of low resolution data are partially displayed in respective areas obtained by the division. If normal playback is directed by a user in this state, a reproduction speed is gradually decelerated at a constant deceleration, corresponding to acceleration, to 7-x, 6-x, 5-x, 4-x, 3-x, double and single speeds. Meanwhile, for example, when the reproduction speed is decelerated to 5-x speed, the screen is horizontally divided into 5. Five different frames of the low resolution data are partially displayed in the respective areas obtained by the division. The present invention is applicable to a disc player.
