Abstract

The present technology relates to a decoding apparatus, a decoding method and a program which make it possible to obtain sound with higher quality. The present technology relates to a decoding apparatus, a decoding method and a program which make it possible to obtain sound with higher quality. A demultiplexing circuit demultiplexes an input code string into a gain code string and a signal code string. A signal decoding circuit decodes the signal code string to output a time series signal. A gain decoding circuit decodes the gain code string. That is, the gain decoding circuit reads out gain values and gain inclination values at predetermined gain sample positions of the time series signal and interpolation mode information. An interpolation processing unit obtains a gain value at each sample position between two gain sample positions through linear interpolation or non-linear interpolation according to the interpolation mode based on the gain values and the gain inclination values. A gain applying circuit adjusts a gain of the time series signal based on the gain values. The present technology can be applied to a decoding apparatus.

Abstract

A communications device is configured to transmit uplink data via a wireless access interface using configured grant (CG) resources of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The uplink data is encoded and transmitted according to either a first or a second modulation coding scheme (MCS). The first MCS or the second MCS is selected according to whether the uplink data is transmitted in the CG-PUSCH according to either a retransmission-less scheme, in which retransmission of the uplink data in response to a feedback indication is not used, or transmitted according to a retransmission scheme (e.g. HARQ), in which the uplink data can be retransmitted following receipt of an indication that the uplink data was not correctly received or an indication is received that the uplink data was received correctly (e.g. HARQ-NACK/HARQ-ACK). In some examples, the first MCS or the second MCS selected to encode and to transmit the uplink data can be identified from the transmitted uplink data based on whether the uplink data is transmitted as retransmission-less or according to whether the uplink data is transmitted with the retransmission scheme. For example, the uplink data may be transmitted in the CG-PUSCH with uplink control information (UCI) which indicates whether the uplink data is being transmitted as retransmission-less or according to the retransmission scheme and the first MCS or the second MCS selected by the communication device can be determined from this indication in the UCI implicitly or the UCI may include information which efficiently provides this indication explicitly.

Abstract

The present technology relates to an image processing device and an image processing method which allow a deblocking filtering process to apply filtering appropriately. A pixel (p0i) of which the value is 255 (solid line) before a deblocking process changes greatly to 159 (dot line) after a conventional deblocking process. Therefore, a clipping process having a clipping value of is performed in strong filtering, whereby the pixel (p0i) of which the value is 255 (solid line) before the deblocking process becomes 245 (bold line). Thus, a change in the pixel value occurring in the conventional technique can be suppressed as much as possible. This disclosure can be applied to an image processing device, for example.

Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a multi-IMU chip, a method for operating a multi-IMU chip, a multi-IMU, and a program that make it possible to measure acceleration and angular velocity at low cost and with high accuracy by using a plurality of the same multi-IMU chips (IMU units). One of the plurality of IMU units including N IMUs mounted on one multi-IMU chip is set as a master, and the others are set as slaves. Each of the IMU units set as the slaves synthesizes the measurement results of the N IMUs to generate a self-synthesized value, and transmits the self-synthesized value to the IMU unit serving as the master. The IMU unit set as the master synthesizes the self-synthesized value with another unit synthesized value that is a synthesized value of the measurement results of the N IMUs of the other IMU units of the other multi-IMU chip, generates a self-other synthesized value, and transmits the self-other synthesized value to a host controller as a measurement result. The present invention can be applied to a multi-IMU.

A projection system includes: a user recognition unit that recognizes a user existing in a space; a projection environment recognition unit that recognizes a projection surface on which a video can be projected in the space; and a control unit that controls a projection device so as to project a video on the projection surface recognized by the projection environment recognition unit for the user recognized by the user recognition unit. The projection device can simultaneously project a video on a plurality of surfaces. The control unit controls a projection device so as to simultaneously project a video on two or more projection surfaces recognized by the projection environment recognition unit.

Abstract

An optical device is provided that achieves excellent light emitting performance while including a plurality of light sources disposed at higher density. The light source device includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources, a connecter, and wiring lines. The substrate includes a front surface and a rear surface on an opposite side of the front surface in a thickness direction. The substrate has a through-hole. The plurality of light sources is provided on the front surface of the substrate. The connecter includes a main body inserted in the through-hole of the substrate and a plurality of first terminals provided on the main body. The wiring lines each couple corresponding one of the plurality of light sources and corresponding one of the plurality of first terminals to each other. The wiring lines are provided on the front surface.

Abstract

The present technology relates to an information processing method, information processing system, and program capable of making an outline portion of an object to be a subject less likely to appear to be emitting light. An information processing method according to one aspect of the present technology includes displaying, on a display that displays an image serving as a background of an object, a display image in which light intensity of a region where the object overlaps is reduced on an image captured by a camera that shoots at least a part of an area of a display surface of the display. The present technology can be applied to virtual production shooting using a large LED display.

Abstract

An information processing device (10) includes a learning unit (16b) that learns a situation at the time of operation by a user on a game application (corresponding to an example of an “application”) by machine learning, and a gameplay assistance unit (16c) (corresponding to an example of an “assistance unit”) that executes, across one or more of the game applications, operation assistance processing of performing auto-play (corresponding to an example of “automatic operation”) of the game application by using a learning result of the learning unit (16b).

IPC Classes  ?

  • A63F 13/67 - Generating or modifying game content before or while executing the game program, e.g. authoring tools specially adapted for game development or game-integrated level editor adaptively or by learning from player actions, e.g. skill level adjustment or by storing successful combat sequences for re-use
  • A63F 13/422 - Processing input control signals of video game devices, e.g. signals generated by the player or derived from the environment by mapping the input signals into game commands, e.g. mapping the displacement of a stylus on a touch screen to the steering angle of a virtual vehicle automatically for the purpose of assisting the player, e.g. automatic braking in a driving game
  • A63F 13/424 - Processing input control signals of video game devices, e.g. signals generated by the player or derived from the environment by mapping the input signals into game commands, e.g. mapping the displacement of a stylus on a touch screen to the steering angle of a virtual vehicle involving acoustic input signals, e.g. by using the results of pitch or rhythm extraction or voice recognition
  • A63F 13/497 - Partially or entirely replaying previous game actions
