Abstract: A display control apparatus, a transmission apparatus, a display control method, and a program that enable an image display time interval at the display control apparatus, which is connected to the transmission apparatus through a network, to properly follow an image rendering time interval at the transmission apparatus. A data reception section sequentially receives image data indicating an image associated with rendering time data capable of determining an image rendering time for the image in a cloud server. A display timing determination section determines, based on the rendering time data, a display timing of the image indicated by the image data. A display control section controls display of the image in accordance with the determined display timing.

Abstract: In a server, an image generation section stores a generated image in a frame buffer. A compression/encoding section compresses and encodes image data in units of partial images smaller than one frame. A processing order control section, on the basis of information pertaining to a scan order for a display panel connected to an image processing apparatus which is a data transmission destination, controls an order of reading out pixel data from the frame buffer, a shape of a partial image, or a compression and encoding order. The compressed and encoded partial image data is packetized by a packetization section and transmitted to the image processing apparatus by a communication section.

Abstract: A server transfers a wide field-of-view image having a field of view wider than the display field of view of a client by multicast streaming or the like. Image processing devices of clients crop regions corresponding to the display fields of view of head-mounted displays and flat panel displays connected to the respective image processing devices to form images compatible with the respective formats and then output the images.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a head-mounted display that includes an image generation device generating a display image to be viewed through an eyepiece disposed in front of a display panel, the image generation device including a source image reception control section that receives a source image, a distorted image generation section that generates data on pixels in a display image obtained by giving the source image a distortion corresponding to the eyepiece, a partially distorted image storage section that stores the data on the pixels in an order of data generation, and an image display control section that, whenever data on a predetermined number of pixels smaller than a total number of pixels in the display image is stored in the partially distorted image storage section, outputs the stored data to the display panel; the display panel that sequentially displays data outputted from the image generation device; and a content processing device that generates the source image and transmits the generated source image to the head-mounted display.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image processing method executed by an image processing apparatus. The image processing method includes designating a distribution of pixels whose charge is to be added and read out from among pixels an image sensor has, and acquiring data of a captured image in which an area of a region that is a unit from which charge is to be read out differs depending upon a position by the designation.

Abstract: A server performs a part of a forming process necessary for conversion into formats corresponding to display modes of a head mounted display and a flat-plate display connected to an image processing apparatus, and transmits a processing result to the image processing apparatus. At this time, the server switches the part of the process to transmit any one of a pair of a left-eye image and a right-eye image, an image suited for the flat-plate display, and an image constituted by a left-eye image and a right-eye image to each of which distortion for an ocular lens has been given.

Abstract: A gaze point acquisition section 470 in a compression coding section 422 of a server 400 acquires position information associated with a gaze point of a user in a moving image that is generated by an image forming section 420 and is displayed on a client. An attention degree estimation section 472 estimates an attention degree on the basis of a position of the gaze point, for each of unit regions produced by dividing a frame plane. A compression coding processing section 474 compression-codes the moving image at a compression rate varied in the frame plane according to a distribution of the attention degrees. A communication section 426 transmits compression-coded data to an image processing apparatus 200.
