The present invention executes color correction that improves the feeling of depth of a 2D image with ease and by using a preexisting device.Input image data is first converted into brightness information by a brightness information calculation portion. The interest level within the image is then estimated by an interest level estimation portion based on that information. The vanishing point is then estimated by a vanishing point estimation portion. Next, a depth estimation portion estimates the degree of depth based on the distance from the vanishing point to a pixel i and the interest level of the pixel i, and calculates a depth correction gain value. A corrected image, obtained by controlling a depth correction image process based on the depth correction gain value, is converted to a predetermined image format and outputted by an output portion. Accordingly, by linking an interest level based on the brightness contrast / color contrast / blurriness amount with the depth estimation based on the vanishing point, the occurrence of abnormalities felt with images that do not properly match up with the perspective structure of the vanishing point, images that do not match the visual impression of humans, and so on can be reduced, making it possible to achieve a more natural and improved feeling of depth.

A speaker diaphragm 10 is provided having an improved quality of radiation sounds and a good outer appearance. The speaker diaphragm has in its slanted area projections typically represented by a peak line 4 and recesses typically represented by a bottom line 5. The projection typically represented by the peak line extends radially from the central area to the edge portion, and curves along the circumferential direction as it comes near to the edge portion. While the speaker diaphragm 10 vibrates at a large amplitude and moves toward the bottom side thereof, a rotation force is applied to air which is likely to concentrate upon the central area to thereby lower the air pressure to the central area. The speaker diaphragm 10 has a three-dimensional structure like a screw propeller so that the mechanical strength of the speaker diaphragm 10 can be increased over the whole area thereof and division vibrations can be suppressed. The speaker diaphragm is manufactured by ejection molding of material containing polypropylene as it main composition so that a variety of colors can be easily used during manufacture processes. In cooperation with the unique structure like the screw propeller, a strong visual impression is given.

The invention provides an intelligent infrared image scene enhancing method comprising the following steps: using an improved combined double-side filter to make combined calculation for two adjacentinfrared images, thus obtaining a detail layer component and a fundamental frequency layer component of a reference frame image; using a guiding gray scale similarity item kernel function to control the detail layer component enhancing scope and eliminate an edge gradient overturn effect, and using an improved histogram calculating method to control the grey scale redistribution of the whole imagein the fundamental frequency layer component; stacking and restoring the processed detail layer image and the fundamental frequency layer component, thus enhancing the original reference frame infrared image scenes. The method can effectively solve the problems that a normal infrared image detail enhancing method effect is too abrupt, so the processed infrared image can have an excellent scene detail enhancing ability; in addition, the grey scale distribution can approach to real scenes in a higher level, thus greatly improving the infrared image visual impressions.
