Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.
Abstract:
This attempts to improve the user's visibility on the device settings and variety of other conditions of the imaging device and thereby enhancing the usability of the imaging device.In an imaging device, a modulated light source 119 located below a menu switch 112M is under control of a switch display light modulator 230 to change the color of light emission. A displayed image on a monitor 114 or an external display device is selectable among a camera image taken with a camera head 120, a memory image read from a memory SD, and a PC image input from a personal computer 410 as an image of a currently set image input source. The color of light emission from the modulated light source 119 is changed according to the setting of the image input source. This arrangement improves the user's visibility of a variety of device settings and thereby enhances the usability of the imaging device.
Abstract:
A digital tracing method and device, comprising a flat acquisition element (3) for digitizing a document (7) and a flat display element (5) for displaying said digitized document mounted on said flat acquisition element (3).
Abstract:
An image distortion correcting apparatus is provided with an image input section to input an image of a flat rectangular paper surface imaged by an imaging section, as an input image, an imaging position estimating section to estimate a relative imaging position of the imaging section with respect to the paper surface from four vertexes of the rectangular paper surface within the input image, a rectangular paper surface estimating section to estimate four vertexes of the rectangular paper surface within a three-dimensional space based on the imaging position, and an image correcting section to correct a perspective transformation distortion in the paper surface within the input image based on the imaging position and the four vertexes within the three-dimensional space, so as to output an output image.
Abstract:
A hand-held printer includes at least one print nozzle and a digital camera scanner. The digital camera scanner is operable to capture an image of an object, which is stored in a memory of the hand-held printer. The hand-held printer is then operable to print the captured image using the at least one print nozzle.
Abstract:
A document camera includes an image-shooting module and a detachable module. The detachable module is installed under the image-shooting module, wherein the detachable module or the image-shooting module includes a magnetic attraction generator to attract each other such that the detachable module can be attached to the image-shooting module.
Abstract:
A portable image capture and camera device is provided including a device body, and an upper panel displaceably engaged to the body, and having an image capture module disposed thereon. A lower panel is also displaceably engaged to the body, for receiving and supporting a subject when the lower panel is deployed to an open position. The upper panel is translatable to deploy from a stowed position to a first deployed position to image a subject disposed on the lower panel (card reader mode), and to a second deployed position to image objects remote from the device (camera mode).
Abstract:
A digital camera capable of enhancing utilization of an image shot in a text shooting mode is provided. An image processing unit converts an image shot in the text shooting mode to a data format appropriate to a transmission destination (a facsimile machine, a personal computer, etc.) selected by a user.
Abstract:
A camera support structure of a video presenter includes a first support rod having one end portion rotatably installed with respect to a main body of the video presenter, a second support rod rotatably extended from the other end portion of the first support rod, a first joint portion maintaining the first support rod rotatable with respect to the main body of the video presenter, a second joint portion maintaining the first support rod and the second support rod rotatable between 0° through 180° with respect to each other and elastically supporting the first support rod and the second support rod with respect to each other, and a third joint portion maintaining a camera rotatable with respect to the other end portion of the second support rod and elastically supporting the second support rod and the camera with respect to each other.
