摘要:
A stereoscopic electronic viewer for a stereo image pair provided in a fixed medium includes a light source which passes light rays through the fixed images of the stereo image pair. The rays project onto a mirror which redirects the rays through a lens unit. The light rays from each image are associated with a particular lens in the lens unit which focuses the image onto an associated CCD image sensor. The two CCD image sensors have separate but synchronized electronics and provide a synchronized output which is fed to a stereo viewing device such as stereo goggles or a time-multiplexed polarized display. The electronic viewer is mechanically designed to manipulate the image produced on the display device to allow for panning and zooming of the stereoscopic image while maintaining the full resolution provided by the image sensor.

Electronic Imaging Apparatus is partitioned into separable modular units including an image pickup unit (4a) attachable to an image recording unit (2). The pickup unit (4a) is selected from a plurality of pickup units (4a, 4b), each producing image signals from an image sensor (6, 70, 71) uniquely devoted to the acquisition of a particular type of image (e.g., high resolution vs. low resolution, color vs. monochrome, NTSC motion vs. PAL motion). By providing an identifying signal in connection with the pickup unit, the characteristics of the sensor (6) are specified to the recording unit. More specifically, the recording unit includes a buffer (36) for storing the image signals, a processor (40) for controlling the operation of the recording unit, including the buffer, and interface circuitry (10, 32) for responding to the identifying signal and enabling operation of the processor (40) according to the characteristics of the attached image pickup unit (4a).

In a signal processing network including a color correction matrix and gamma compensation, detail processing is disclosed that includes a detail extraction circuit for generating a detail signal from an un-matrixed green signal and a detail enhancement circuit for adding the detail signal to the matrixed, gamma-corrected red, green and blue signals. The un-matrixed green signal is converted to a gamma-corrected green signal and separately input to vertical and horizontal high pass filters, which separate detail components representative of vertical and horizontal detail, respectively. The vertical detail is additionally input to a horizontal low pass filter to eliminate excessive enhancement of diagonal image components. The detail components are cored and input to the detail enhancement circuit. As a result of bypassing the color correction matrix and inserting the modified detail, including the diminished diagonal contribution, into the signal channel after gamma correction, the various detail components receive a substantially uniform visual enhancement regardless of orientation or density in the image.

Video imaging apparatus avoids rise-time artifacts due to analog bandwidth limitations by orienting a multi-green color filter array so that the luminance (green) elements are parallel to the high-speed, horizontal line scanning direction. Rise-time delays in the analog signal processing due to high frequency horizontal scanning are accommodated by having the critical green elements side-by-side in the horizontal direction rather than separated by red and blue elements. This additionally permits line-by-line switching during signal processing to correct for color balance.
摘要:
Video imaging apparatus provides a relatively lower resolution verification image from a high resolution image sensor. By orienting a color filter array so that the luminance (green) elements are arranged in same-color stripes parallel to the horizontal scanning direction, the luminance elements may be subsampled for greater flexibility in generating the lower resolution image. A memory stores the discrete image signals from the image sensor and accesses the signals in two modes: a high resolution recording mode for addressing substantially all the image signals and a low resolution display mode for addressing only those signals from lines of same-color (green) filter elements. The low resolution addressing can be based on a variety of line sampling patterns corresponding to the line capability and horizontal resolution of a display device.

A system and method for obtaining photographic products and/or services comprises bundling image capture and printing technologies into products and/or services that are paid for by a consumer with monthly or yearly subscription fees. The system and method involves selecting a camera and selecting a photographic products/service plan which designates photographic products and/or services which are to be associated with the selected camera. The system and method gives the consumer the option of selecting a specific camera from a menu of cameras, and a specific photographic product/service plan which is to be associated with the selected camera from a product/service menu. As a further option, the consumer can customize his/her product/service plan in accordance with his/her preference. The plan can provide for products and/or services for images captured and/or film exposed by the camera for a predetermined amount of time at a predetermined fee. At the end of the plan, the consumer could have the option of returning the camera, exchanging the camera for a different camera, or keeping the camera at no cost or for a reduced price. The photographic products and/or services provided by the plan could be products and/or services such as film developing, printing, image products, scanning, photo CDs, image storage, etc.

An image format for storing digital images within a baseline DCT compatible bitstream comprises entropy coded image data, a first application marker storing a first data value using a first encoding method to convey a first information value related to the image, and a second application marker storing a second data value using a second encoding method to convey the same said first information value related to the image. More specifically, the first application marker uses TIFF tags within an Exif application marker and the second application marker uses a FlashPix compatible structured storage stream, while the entropy coded data includes restart markers to define tile boundaries within the entropy coded image data.
