A high definition camera for photographing still pictures using a high resolution charge-coupled solid-state imaging device. The charge-coupled solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged in rows and columns in matrix form, each element corresponding to a pixel and the rows being divided into four fields, a plurality of vertical charge transfer paths formed between each column of the photoelectric conversion elements and a horizontal charge transfer path connected to a terminal portion of each of the vertical charge transfer paths. Pixel signals generated at photoelectric conversion elements corresponding to one of four fields are transferred to transfer elements in a field shift period corresponding to the one field. Thereafter, the pixel signals are transferred toward the horizontal charge transfer path in accordance with drive signals and are then horizontally transferred by the horizontal charge transfer path at every row to read and store the pixel signals for the one field in a memory.

A three-dimensional (3D) image display device enables easy recognition of a 3D image by appropriately changing the popout amount of a 3D image. The display device includes a timer setting and measuring a given time over which the popout amount of a 3D image changes, a popout amount change mode memory storing information on time dependent change of the popout amount occurring over the given time, a popout amount controller producing the popout amount for each unit time based on parallax between a plurality of images, the given time, and the time dependent change information, a changing image producer producing pairs of popout-amount-changing images from the plurality of images according to a popout amount by the unit time, a 3D image producer producing a corresponding popout-amount-changing 3D image, and a display controller.

A thermal head has a heating element array with a plurality of heating elements disposed in line and a head driver. The head driver drives the heating elements at the same time in accordance with each set of heating data of 8 bits to record dots of one line on a recording sheet. In printing dots by using heating data of 9 bits, a heating data divider circuit divides the 9-bit heating data into two series of 8-bit converted heating data. By using these two series of the 8-bit converted heating data, two heating sequences are continuously executed. Each heating element is heated by the two heating sequences as many times as that corresponding to the heating data.

An electronic still camera uses a charge coupled solid-state image pickup device and reads out pixel signals from photoelectric conversion elements by separating the photoelectric conversion elements into a number of fields. In a first embodiment, the elements are separated into k number of fields and an empty reading operation of the vertical and horizontal charge transfer paths are implemented without field shifting pixel signals from the elements to the transfer paths to thereby preserve the pixel signals in the elements. Accordingly, smear contents are removed and the influence of dark current is made uniform to prevent the occurrence of flicker. In a second embodiment, an empty reading operation of the vertical and horizontal charge transfer paths is implemented just after exposure. After the empty reading operation, normal field scanning and reading operation is restarted from the pixel signals corresponding to the field where the field shifting operation is stopped. Accordingly, smear contents are removed and dark current is made uniform.

The print terminal apparatus can print an image exchanged via an electronic mail without preparing any printer personally. In printing an image attached to the electronic mail that a user received in the past, identification information of the user such as a portable telephone number (mail address) of the user is firstly input on a monitor with a touch panel for a print terminal apparatus installed in a shop front. The print terminal apparatus retrieves the image attached to the electronic mail addressed to the user from a mail server via a communication line interface into a storage on the basis of this identification information of the user, and displays a list of images on the monitor with the touch panel. If the image to be printed is selected on this monitor, and a charged amount of cash is thrown into a coin machine, a selected image is printed by a print engine.

The image storing apparatus stores an image uploaded from a customer via a network on a large-capacity medium by associating it with customer information indicating the customer, image attribute information or image selection information so as to manage the image of the customer. And if capacity, quantity, a recording period or a current date of the images of a certain customer exceeds a predetermined threshold, one image or a plurality of images of the customer are moved to another medium so as to secure storage capacity of the above described large-capacity medium.

When an electronic album is created, different images having identical file names are prevented from being recorded on a large-capacity floppy disk. Image files have been recorded on a memory card and on a large-capacity floppy disk in the order of file numbers. When an image file that has been recorded on the first memory card is recorded on the large-capacity floppy disk, the final file number on the large-capacity floppy disk is read out. The file number of the image file that has been read out of the first memory card is changed to a file number that succeeds the file number recorded on the large-capacity floppy disk last. The image file whose file number has been changed is recorded on the large-capacity floppy disk and an electronic album is generated for each type of image.

A printing system comprises an evaluating device (CPU) that evaluates a quality of an image to be printed according to inputted image data and a displaying device that displays the evaluation on the evaluating device. Therefore, the printing system can inform the user of the evaluation due to the exposure.

Film images of all frames are captured in a first scanning in a low resolution for displaying as an index image, and the captured image data is stored in an image memory. Then, the index image is displayed on a display according to the image data. When the user designates a frame for printing and enters the print information of the frame by use of the index image displayed on the display, a second scanning of the frame is performed conforming to the print information. That is, the frame image is captured in a high resolution for printing, and the captured image data is stored in the image memory. Then, the frame image is printed on a printer according to the print information. While the printer is printing the frame image, the images of frames on the film are displayed frame by frame on the display in accordance with the image data for the index image stored in the image memory.
摘要:
A video printer is automatically set in a field mode even when a frame mode is manually selected if an input video signal is nonstandardized. To determine whether the input video signal is standardized or not, the number of equalizing pulses generated during each vertical synchronizing period, that is, the number of cutting pulses, are checked. Also, the polarity of a field index signal is checked as to whether the polarity is inverted during each vertical synchronizing period. If the number of cutting pulses is below a predetermined value, and/or if the polarity of the field index signal is maintained unchanged, the video signal is determined nonstandardized.
