A visual information assistance device (10) includes a CCD camera (20), a projector (22) and an optical correction structure (28). The projector (22) projects an image at a screen (24) on the basis of image information from the CCD camera (20). The optical correction structure (28) is structured such that image information acquired by an image sensor (30) of the CCD camera (20) is adjusted image information that corresponds to the screen (24).

An image with an expanded depth of field is more effectively acquired while reducing the manufacturing cost, without enlarging the apparatus. Provided is an endoscope system (1) including: an objective optical system (16) that is provided at an insertion portion (6) tip and that acquires a subject image; an optical path division means for dividing the subject image into two optical images with different focuses; an imaging element that forms the two optical images with different focuses at the same time to acquire two images; an image correction means (32) that corrects the two images acquired by the imaging element so that differences other than the focuses become substantially the same; and an image combination processing unit (33) that selects an image with a relatively high contrast in predetermined corresponding areas between the two images corrected by the image correction means to generate a combined image.
摘要:
Methods and digital imaging devices disclosed herein are adapted to capture images of a specimen in a chemical reaction using a series of short exposures of light emissions from the specimen over a period of time. The series of short exposures is captured using an array of pixels of an image sensor in the digital imaging device that are configured for performing continuous non-destructive read operations to read out a set of non-destructive read images of the specimen from the pixel array. In one embodiment, images are captured by delaying the read out until at or near the end of the chemical reaction to reduce read noise in the images. The signals read out from the image sensor can be continuously monitored and the capturing of images can be discontinued either automatically or based on a command from a user. The captured images can then be displayed in a graphical display.

A smartphone may be freely moved in three dimensions as it captures a stream of images of an object. Multiple image frames may be captured in different orientations and distances from the object and combined into a composite image representing an image of the object. The image frames may be formed into the composite image based on representing features of each image frame as a set of points in a three dimensional point cloud. Inconsistencies between the image frames may be adjusted when projecting respective points in the point cloud into the composite image. Quality of the image frames may be improved by processing the image frames to correct errors. Reflections and shadows may be detected and removed. Further, optical character recognition may be applied. As the scan progresses, a direction for capturing subsequent image frames is provided to a user as a real-time feedback.

摘要:
Noise is reduced in video frames captured by an image sensor (103) of a monitoring camera (100) by using image data representing a captured video frame (302) and image data representing a previously captured video frame (304) at least partially overlapping the captured video frame (302), as well as motion data representing global motion vectors for the captured video frame (302) in relation to the previously captured video frame (304). The captured video frame (302) and the previously captured video frame (304) are spatially aligned using the global motion vectors to provide a set of spatially aligned video frames, and temporal noise reduction is performed on the captured video frame using the spatially aligned set of video frames to provide a temporally noise reduced captured video frame.
