A tripod stabilizing base consists of a containing envelope incorporating stabilizing mass elements and tripod foot attachment components. The tripod stabilizing base also includes a force transmitting member arranged such that the force transmitting member transmits forces from the tripod foot attachment components to the stabilizing mass elements, thus allowing the stabilizing mass elements to compensate for imbalance regarding the forces acting on the individual tripod foot attachment components, keeping the mounted tripod from tipping over due to an imbalanced payload.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section that forms a pattern image for detecting image-position displacement with respect to a lenticular lens sheet. The pattern image includes periodic images in each of which set images, each including two or more images of different shades and having a length equal to a lens pitch of the lenticular lens sheet, are arranged in a lens transverse direction of the lenticular lens sheet. The periodic images are arranged in a lens longitudinal direction of the lenticular lens sheet so as to be gradually shifted from one another in the lens transverse direction by a distance less than the lens pitch.

This fully-automated 3D photo booth uses a single-or dual-lens camera or other depth sensors. Depth algorithms process the pictures taken, which can be inserted into themed templates. A novel method of coarse segmentation separates the foreground and background. The photo booth dispenses an interlaced print and snap-in photo frame, or gives the option of viewing on a mobile device or sending via email or social media. On a mobile device, the 3D viewing is with a snap-on or adhesive optical overlay if available, using novel lenticules that solve Moir artifacts. In the absence of an optical overlay, tilt sensors are used to move the viewpoint of the 3D scene model, to look around objects in the foreground, the same as if real objects were being tilted back and forth.

An information processing apparatus includes a transformation rule determining unit that determines a transformation rule for transforming print attribute information representing an attribute of a print job, based on at least one of a source data format and a target data format of the print attribute information, and a data format transforming unit that transforms the data format of the print attribute information from the source data format into the target data format in accordance with the determined transformation rule.
