A user interface is adaptive to multiple display screens with different characteristics. An interface element encoded for a baseline display screen can be automatically transformed into a form suitable for a target display screen prior to rendering. Subsequently, a transformed encoded description of the interface element can be rendered in a displayable form such as an image and transmitted to a target display screen for display.

An image processing device includes: a memory; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: execute, on first observed image information input externally and having predetermined number of pixels generated by capturing a subject, expansion processing to expand number of pixels up to a resolution of a display configured to display a display image having highest resolution among a plurality of displays being connectable to the image processing device, and generate and output second observed image information having number of pixels larger than the predetermined number of pixels; and execute reduction processing to reduce the number of pixels on the second observed image information, and generate and output third observed image information having number of pixels smaller than the predetermined number of pixels.

There is provided a generation apparatus, a generation method, a reproduction apparatus, and a reproduction method by which a display image generated by use of an omnidirectional image is made approximately uniform in image quality in all visual line directions. A down-conversion part down-converts an omnidirectional image. A perspective projection part generates multiple images by projecting on multiple two-dimensional planes the omnidirectional image mapped onto a 3D model. This disclosure may be applied, for example, to generation apparatuses that generate an omnidirectional image from captured images in six directions so as to generate low- and high-resolution streams of the omnidirectional image.

Provided is a method of displaying an image in a display device, the method including transmitting, to a content providing device, image request information requesting the content providing device to selectively transmit an image of a first resolution or an image of a second resolution; receiving the image of the first resolution or the image of the second resolution which is obtained by performing upscaling on the image of the first resolution using a first upscaler, based on the image request information; based on receiving the image of the first resolution, performing upscaling on the image of the first resolution using a second upscaler of the display device to obtain a upscaled image having the second resolution and displaying the upscaled image having the second resolution, upscaling capability of the second upscaler being different from upscaling capability of the first upscaler; and based on receiving the image of the second resolution, displaying the image of the second resolution.

A medical image processing device includes: a memory; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: generate, by performing enlargement processing or shrinking processing to first observation image information input from an outside, second observation image information having number of pixels different from predetermined number of pixels, the first observation image information being generated by capturing a subject and having the predetermined number of pixels; generate third observation image information by performing enhancement processing for enhancing a structure of the subject to the second observation image information, the structure of the subject being contained in a second observation image corresponding to the second observation image information; and generate and output fourth observation image information having different number of pixels from that of the second observation image information by performing enlargement processing or shrinking processing to the third observation image information.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for managing immersive data in an immersive system. The method includes: generating a truncated three-dimensional (3D) geometry including a truncated plane corresponding to a field of view (FOV) of a user, obtaining the immersive data comprising a plurality of frames based on the FOV of the user, mapping a frame from among the plurality of frames onto the truncated plane formed according to the FOV of the user, and projecting the frame onto the FOV of the user.

Firmware interfaces scale a fixed-font utilized by the firmware interfaces to display glyphs of the fixed-font at a native resolution or a preferred resolution of a display. A conversion factor is generated for scaling the glyphs of the font using the native resolution or the preferred resolution. The glyphs may be scaled using the conversion factor. The scaled glyphs may be stored and utilized to display text of the firmware interface in the native resolution or the preferred resolution.

Techniques are provided for optimizing display processing of layers below a dim layer by a display system. Because the dim layer may partially obstruct, conceal, or otherwise impact a user view of layers below the dim layer, resource-saving techniques may be used in the processing the layers below the dim layer. While these techniques may impact visual quality, a user is unlikely to notice visual artifacts or other reductions in quality in the modified layers below the dim layer. For example, when a dim layer is to be displayed, a GPU can render layers below the dim layer at a lower resolution. Furthermore, the GPU can increase a compression ratio for layers below the dim layer. The low-resolution layers can be scaled-up to an original resolution and the compressed layers can be uncompressed in the display pipeline for display underneath the dim layer.

A method for detecting stereo images includes receiving an image and analyzing at least a portion of the image. The method further includes determining whether the image is a stereo image based on the analysis. The method may include determining if a portion of the image contains an expected icon, may determine if left and right halves of the image contain expected symmetry, may determine if histograms of the left and right halves are similar, or the like. The method further includes generating a confidence value related to the determination of whether the image is stereo or non-stereo, the confidence value indicating a likelihood that the determination is correct.

An electronic device is provided that includes a communication interface including communication circuitry; and a processor configured to, based on receiving a first partial image, transmit first image quality information obtained from the first partial image to an external electronic device. The processor is further configured to, based on receiving, from the external electronic device, second image quality information obtained from a second partial image, obtain image quality processing information based on the first image quality information and the second image quality information. The processor is further configured to process the first partial image based on the image quality processing information, and transmit, via the communication interface, the first partial image processed to one of a plurality of display modules included in an external display device, wherein the external electronic device is configured to provide the second partial image to another module among the plurality of display modules.
