An endoscope image recording apparatus comprises a video endoscope having, at a forward end of an inserting section, an image pickup element, for image-picking-up the interior of a body cavity or the like, an image control unit for signal-processing a picture signal from the video endoscope, to generate an image signal, a portable IC memory card for recording the image signal from the image control unit as image data, a digital audio tape (DAT), a monitor for displaying the image signal from the image control unit or image data recorded on the IC memory card or the DATA, and indication means for indicating control operation to the image control unit. The IC memory card and the DAT tape record a serial number of the image, an INDEX image of the image, patient data, and image data. The IC memory card records an ID number of the DAT tape, while the DAT tape records an ID number of the IC memory card.

The position of the same point on each of the images of a single object formed by the imaging means of an endoscope is detected, and shift maps between the respective images are formed using the detected positions. Each of the imaging positions of the imaging means is estimated from the shift maps, and a relative shape of the object is then estimated from the imaging positions. Since a relative shape of the object is estimated using the correlation between the respective images, a relative shape of the object can be estimated even when not only the imaging means but also the object are moved. An absolute shape of the object can also be estimated using a length as a reference value.

In an image sensor provided on a chip, there are a plurality of photodiodes for receiving light. The photodiodes are disposed in at least two rows which are spaced apart from one another. An elongated photodiode which is at least partially covered by a light shield is used to monitor the photodiodes in the first and second rows. The outputs from image sensor are amplified by first and second amplifiers which are also located on the same chip as the image sensor.

There is provided a frozen picture memorizing memory holding as a frozen picture image a picture image signal imaged by an electronic endoscope. By the operation of a frozen picture directing switch, whether the frozen picture is adapted to the memorizing condition or not is judged through a picture image movement detecting circuit. In case it is judged to be adapted to the memorizing condition, the picture image signal is memorized actually as a frozen picture image to obtain a clear frozen picture having little color smear and fogging.

An AF camera system for automatically controlling an objective lens for focusing an object includes a focus detector for generating a defocus data DF carrying information of a defocus amount and a defocus direction based on a focus condition of an object to be focused through an objective lens detected in a detection cycle, an infocus detector for detecting an infocus condition based on the defocus data, a lens driver for driving the objective lens based on the defocus amount and defocus direction carried in the defocus data DF when the infocus detection mean did not detect the infocus condition; and a control for controlling the focus adjustment based on defocus data and/or the detection of the infocus condition detected by the infocus detection means.

An image sensing system comprises photoelectric conversion element array which responds to the light from a subject and produces charges responding to the quantity of incident light, storage parts temporarily storing the charges produced by the array and a shift register which receives and outputs the charges in the storage parts. A first gate is installed between the array and the storage parts and a second gate is installed between the storage parts and the shift register. The storage time of the charges and the like can be controlled by controlling the first and the second gates by a control circuit. Then, when the subject is of high luminance, the charges are stored into the storage parts with the array and storage parts connected intact to each other by putting the first gating means in the ON state, and the completion of integration thereof is performed by putting the first gate in the OFF state. Also, when the subject is of low luminance, storage of charges is performed in the array with the first gate put in the OFF state, and a dark charges produced in the storage parts during that time is discharged before storing the charges of the above-mentioned arrays.

A spectrophotometer is composed of a spectrofilter, a plurality of bandpass filters for cutting unnecessary transmission bands, and a CCD photosensor. The photosensor is composed of two sets of photosensors having different sensitivity ranges that overlap at some portion to increase the dynamic range of the device. The handling amount of charges is increased at every portion of the CCD photosensor in order to reduce the influence of the shot noise. Further, various technologies are used to enhance the accuracy and stability of the spectrophoto-measurement.
摘要:
A photosensor, or an image sensor made of many such photosensors, including a plurality of photosensor pixels each having a logarithmic converter. The logarithmic converter converts source charges that are produced by a photoreceptor (or a photodiode) and proportional to the amount of the incident light into signal charges logarithmically proportional to the source charges whose amount does not grow so rapid as the amount of source charges grows. Owing to the logarithmic converter, the dynamic range of the photosensor (or image sensor) has a very wide dynamic range.

A laminated structure [10; 20; 30] formed of a ceramic color layer and a conductive layer comprises a ceramic color layer [2; 22; 32] formed on the surface of plate glass [11] and a conductive layer [3] formed on the surface of said ceramic color layer and containing silver ions. At least a partial layer [2; 22b; 32b] constituting said ceramic color layer and located on the side on which said conductive layer is formed is comprised of any one of a ceramic layer [2; 22b] containing a reducing agent and a ceramic layer [32b] having a higher melting point.
摘要:
The movement detecting circuit of this invention has a band detecting circuit for detecting the signal components of a plurality of image signals. The output signal of this band detecting circuit is input into a band varying circuit for varying the band characteristics of the image signals. The plural image signals having had the band characteristics varied in the band varying circuit are input into a difference signal producing circuit which produces a difference signal of pixel signals approaching respective plural image signals representing the images of an object imaged at different times. A correlation amount between the corresponding plural difference signals produced by the difference signal producing circuit is detected in a correlation detecting circuit. The signal output detected in the correlation detecting circuit is quantified in a quantifying circuit.
