    摘要: This camera is formed by a sensor (3) composed of elements sensitive to various color components in the view exhibiting an entire spectrum of spatial frequencies, and at least a first image filtering device (10) for the low frequencies in the spectrum with a view to processing the signals issuing from said sensitive elements. This apparatus is in essence formed by a first branch (B1) in which said first filtering device (10) and by a second branch (B2) in which a second filtering device (12) is inserted for the high frequencies of the spectrum in order to filter all the signals issuing from said elements and a combination device for supplying an image taking account of the output signals of said branches. In this manner a good sharpness of the image is obtained.

    摘要: A method and system for electronically cataloging photographic image data uses a transponder that generates and transmits a unique identification code uniquely identifying the subject of the photographic image to a remote detection unit located within a digital camera. Upon receipt, the unique identification code is verified to correspond with the intended subject of a photographic image, and upon successful verification, the image is recorded. The transmitted unique identification code is encoded in the associated recorded image data, and the data is transferred to a computer-readable storage medium and stored in a database. Once stored, the image can be securely accessed and displayed via a user interface using the associated unique identification code.

    摘要: A reusable digital camera includes a memory storing a picked-up image, and a phototransistor provided in the camera to detect disassembly of the camera. When the user disassembles the digital camera in an unauthorized manner, the phototransistor detects outer light, and the picked-up image stored in the memory is erased. Thus, a digital camera is provided that prevents unauthorized disassembly or unauthorized access.

    摘要: Maximum and minimum aperture sizes are regulated with regard to a diaphragm in order to secure predetermined optical capability in an optical unit which includes a taking lens and the diaphragm. In a normal taking, the diaphragm is used within a normal taking range from the maximum to the minimum aperture sizes. In the present invention, an aperture size which is larger than the maximum size and a size which is smaller than the minimum size (extra aperture size or extra small size) are respectively set at outside the range that secures the capability. The aperture sizes of the diaphragm at outside the specified range are used at least for one of the following: automatic exposure (AE) adjustment, auto focus (AF) adjustment, electronic zoom, displaying a moving image, taking for recording the moving image, and taking under a low resolution by thinning out pixels.

    摘要: The control inputs of reset switch elements 41 to 45 are commonly connected to a row reset line 51. In a line black clamp type, cathodes as reset ends of photodiodes (31) of optical black pixels 21 to 23 are commonly connected to a potential averaging line 30. In a frame black clamp type, potential averaging lines are connected similarly to respective pixel rows on the vertical scanning start side of an optical black pixel region, and the potential averaging lines may be commonly connected to each other to operate just like one pixel row. A first block includes a pixel array and a vertical scanning circuit, while a second block includes sample and hold circuits, a horizontal scanning circuit, an amplifier and an A/D converter 19. In a low power consumption mode, power supply to the second block is ceased in a light integration period of one frame with performing light integration in the pixel array, power supply to the first and second blocks is performed in a read-out period of one frame to read out integrated signals, and power supply to the first and second blocks is ceased in a power-off period of one frame.
