An image pickup apparatus comprising: an image pickup device which takes an image of a subject and generates an image signal; an operation device in which first operation and second operation are independently acceptable; a detection device that detects the first operation and second operation of the operation device; a memory device which loads and stores the image signal from the image pickup device when the first operation of the operation device is detected by the detection device; a preview image display device which performs predetermined display processing to the image signal stored in the memory device, displays a preview image on a monitor in accordance with the processed image signal, and stops display of the preview image when the first operation or second operation of the operation device is detected by the detection device during display of the preview image; and an image data recording device which performs predetermined recording processing to the image signal stored in the memory device and records the processed image signal on a recording medium as image data when the second operation of the operation device is detected by the detection device during display of the preview image.
摘要:
An input unit that sequentially writes a digital image signal to be input in a first buffer while counting number of pixels of the digital image signal, and that writes the written digital image signal in a second buffer; and a command fetching/issuing unit that calculates a position of a pixel based on process delay information that is added to an image processing command and that indicates a delay amount required until image processing by the command is started since the input of the digital image signal, and a counter value indicating the number of pixels, and that issues the image processing command when the position of the pixel is in a valid area are included. Image processing is performed on pixels written in the second buffer based on the issued image processing command.
摘要:
An apparatus for acquiring an image and a method therefor. The apparatus is electrically connected to an image sensor for acquiring an acquired image and outputting an original image signal. The apparatus includes an image processor, a data reduction unit and a buffer. The image processor generates a first image signal according to the original image signal. The data reduction unit reduces a data amount of the first image signal to generate a second image signal. The buffer stores the second image signal.

An electronic camera comprises imaging means for optoelectrically converting a subject image to generate electronic image data, temporary storage means for temporarily storing the image data produced by the imaging means, image display means for displaying an image based on the image data stored in the temporary storage means, recording means for recording the image data stored in the temporary storage means on a recording medium, erasing means for erasing the image data recorded on the recording medium, instructing means for instructing the recording means to abort recording on the recording medium of the image data stored in the temporary storage means or for instructing the era-sing means to erase the image data recorded on the recording medium, and control means for controlling the image display means to display thereon the image based on the image data stored in the temporary storage means for a predetermined period of time after capturing, for controlling the recording means to abort recording on the recording medium of the image data stored in the temporary storage means when an instruction is given from the instructing means while the recording means is recording the image data on the recording medium, and for controlling the erasing means to erase the image data recorded on the recording medium when an instruction is given from the instructing means after the recording means has recorded the image data on the recording medium.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus for performing efficient signal processing depending on the operational mode. In the finder mode, a CCD interface 21a decimates horizontal components of image data supplied from an image generating unit 10 to one-third and moreover processes the decimated image data with data conversion and resolution conversion to produce Y, Cb and Cr image data which are routed to and written in an image memory 32 over a memory controller 22. In the recording mode, the CCD interface 21a causes the image data from the image generating unit 10 to be written in the image memory 32 via memory controller 22 after decimation and gamma correction etc. The camera DSP 21c reads out the image data via memory controller 22 from the image memory 32 to effect data conversion for writing the resulting data via memory controller 22 in the image memory 32.

In a digital camera, when snapshot shooting is instructed during recording of a moving image, a shot still image is temporarily pushed aside in a memory area for use in pushing aside (7a) in a frame buffer (7). A currently shooting motion image and a still image are displayed in parallel on a display (9), so that a user can confirm a content of a snapshot. The moving image continues to be recorded even during a push-aside operation. After a moving image processing is completed, the still image is processed by an image correcting circuit (4). The frame buffer (7) comprises a plurality of frame recording areas, and is shared on the occasions of a moving image processing and a still image processing. In a normal moving image processing, these areas are utilized in a cyclic manner, and when the still image is shot, any of areas will be utilized. Thereafter, the rest of areas are utilized in the cyclic manner for the moving images. The recording function for the moving image and still image is improved at low cost, it becomes easy to take a snapshot, and the merchandise size is not increased.

An electronic still camera, for recording the image signal in compressed state in a memory medium such as a memory card, is provided with a calculation circuit, for calculating the remaining number of still recordable frames in the memory medium in more reliable manner, and the number of already recorded frames and the remaining number of still recordable frames are simultaneously displayed in order to inform the photographer of the remaining state of the memory card in securer manner.The remaining frame number is calculated in securer manner by detecting the remaining capacity of the memory card and dividing the remaining capacity with the amount of compressed signal averaged over the latest 100 image frames. A display device is provided for indicating thus determined remaining frame number together with the number of already recorded frames.For calculating the remaining frame number in more reliable manner, there are determined the average data amount of the recorded frames, the standard deviation, and the remaining capacity of the memory card, and the minimum remaining frame number is determined by dividing the remaining capacity with the average data amount plus standard deviation, while the maximum remaining frame number is determined by dividing the remaining capacity with the average data amount minus standard deviation. Also there is provided a display device for indicating the remaining frame number in the form of a range defined by the minimum and maximum remaining frame numbers.

A method and system for providing instant review of a last image in an image capture device is disclosed. The image capture device includes a viewfinder for displaying a live image and each image of a plurality of previously captured images. The method and system include selecting instant review of the last image captured by the image capture device, determining the status and location of the last image, and providing the last image to the viewfinder for display. Therefore, the image capture device is capable of displaying the last image substantially immediately after the last image has been captured. In another aspect, the image capture device contains an image processing system. In this aspect, the method and system include allowing a user to access a play mode and a review mode while the last image captured undergoes processing by the image processing system.
