Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an imager, a receiver, a synchronization signal generator, and a time code controller. The imager performs an imaging operation according to a synchronization signal. The receiver receives a time code signal including time code information and a synchronization pattern for detecting the time code information from another imaging apparatus. The synchronization signal generator generates the synchronization signal so as to be synchronized with a timing of the synchronization pattern included in the time code signal received. The time code controller generates a time code based on the synchronization signal and the time code information received.
Abstract:
A sound signal processing apparatus includes: first amplifier which amplifies a sound signal, depending on an input level of the sound signal; and second amplifier which amplifies with a gain the sound signal amplified by first amplifier. Second amplifier automatically decreases the gain when a level of the sound signal is greater than an upper limit threshold, and second amplifier automatically increases the gain when the level of the sound signal is lower than the upper limit threshold and when the gain is lower than a predetermined value. When second amplifier increases the gain, second amplifier changes the gain at a first speed when a user has performed an operation to decrease the input level, and second amplifier changes the gain at a second speed lower than the first speed when the user has not performed the operation to decrease the input level.
Abstract:
An intraoral camera system includes an imaging unit that generates image data by capturing an image of a tooth inside the mouth of a user, an area detector that detects the orientation of the imaging unit according to output by a multi-axis acceleration sensor and detects, according to the orientation detected, an area whose image is being captured by the imaging unit from among areas inside the mouth, the areas being determined by dividing a dentition into sections, and an identifier that narrows candidates which are combinations of tooth types and tooth positions down to fewer candidates to be used, according to the image data and the area detected, and identifies the type and the position of the tooth according to the narrowed candidates and the image data.
Abstract:
A dentition image capturing system includes: illumination devices to radiate light; an imaging device to capture first and second dentition images in a predetermined exposure period; a high luminance region extraction unit to extract a high luminance region for the first and second dentition images; a high luminance region comparison unit to calculate a degree of similarity between the high luminance region of the first dentition image and the second dentition image; a halation region specification unit to specify the high luminance region of the first dentition image as a halation region in a case where the similarity degree is smaller than a predetermined threshold; an image synthesis processing unit executing image synthesis processing of extracting a trimming region in the second dentition image corresponding to the halation region and replacing the halation region with the trimming region; and a dentition image output unit to output the first dentition image.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus that can be mounted with at least one battery, for capturing an object image to generate image data, includes: an operation member configured to receive an operation of a user; a display configured to display information on a setting of the imaging apparatus; and a processor configured to control the display based on a user operation input to the operation member, wherein the imaging apparatus has a plurality of functions to be executed using power of the battery, and the processor causes the display to display attention information indicating whether the plurality of functions include an inexecutable function due to an insufficient remaining capacity of the battery, when a predetermined operation is input to the operation member in a state where the plurality of functions are not executed.
Abstract:
An imaging device includes an optical system including a movable lens, an image capture unit configured to capture a subject image through the optical system, a sound-collecting microphone, and a control unit configured to control the optical system and the image capture unit and to receive an sound signal from the microphone. The imaging device has a first mode and a second mode as moving-image shooting modes. The control unit makes the movable lens move faster in the first mode than in the second mode when a moving image is captured. The control unit filters the sound signal with a narrower-band filter in the first mode than in the second mode.
Abstract:
A digital camera includes an optical system including a focus lens, a zoom lens and a diaphragm, an HDMI output terminal configured to output sound collected by a microphone unit and a picture imaged by a CCD image sensor to an external recorder, and a controller. The controller controls switching between a moving image priority mode and a still image priority mode in which the optical system is driven at a higher speed than a speed in a moving image priority mode. In addition, the controller allows change to a moving image imaging mode by an operation unit when detecting that output to the external recorder is possible in the HDMI output terminal.
Abstract:
A digital camera includes a body that contains a CCD image sensor for capturing an object image, a monitor that is pivotably mounted relative to the body and displays an image signal relating to the object image captured by the CCD image sensor, a microphone, and a controller for changing sound pickup directivity of the microphone according to an orientation of the monitor relative to the body. This increases sound pickup sensitivity for voice-enabled shutter operation.
