An electronic still camera for capturing images to be transferred to at least one e-mail address is disclosed. The electronic still camera includes an image sensor for capturing a plurality of images of scenes and for producing image signals representative of the corresponding scenes; an analog-to-digital converter for digitizing the image signals to produce digital images; and a removable memory card for storing a plurality of digital image files corresponding to the digital images. The electronic still camera also includes an internal memory for storing at least one digital image to be displayed and a plurality of e-mail addresses; a processor for controlling the transfer of the digital images from the removable memory card to the internal memory and for producing a utilization file; and a display coupled to the internal memory for displaying at least one digital image. The electronic still camera further includes a user interface for selecting at least one e-mail address and for scrolling through the plurality of digital images stored on the removable memory card in order to display and select particular digital images to be transferred to the selected at least one e-mail address, wherein the utilization file includes the at least one selected e-mail address and the name of at least one digital image file to be transferred to the at least one selected e-mail address and the processor stores the utilization file on the removable memory card separate from the digital image files.

A system and method for processing mosaiced or raw data images operates to concurrently demosaic and resize the mosaiced images in a combined process. The combined demosaic/resize process allows the system to perform demosaicing and resizing more efficiently than conventional systems, which perform these processes separately and sequentially. Furthermore, the combined demosaic/resize process allows the system to produce demosaiced and resized images of higher quality as compared to demosaiced and resized images produced by the conventional systems.

A log of events that occur to an image file is kept. For example, if the image is e-mailed, printed, edited, etc., the event is recorded in the log. Consequently, a user can review the log and know what has been done with the image file previously. This log is created and maintained automatically. The log may be created when the image file is downloaded to a computer from a digital camera along with a specific instruction or intent of what is to be done immediately with the image file by the computer, e.g., e-mail or print the file. The log may also be created or updated subsequently as the image file is used. The log may be written into the image file or may be written in a separate file that is stored with the image file.

To enable the use of a single use digital camera for acquiring, selecting and storing images, thereby providing the ability to delete unwanted images, a method is disclosed in which a customer is provided a single use digital camera, which the costumer uses for acquiring, selecting and storing digital images, return of the digital camera is accepted from the customer after the storing of the images and the selected images are retrieved for the customer. The single use digital camera provides no means for the customer to retrieve the stored images. A system that provides means to perform the steps of the method for use of a single use digital camera is also described.
摘要:
Disclosed is a monitor device for a moving body such as a vehicle, aircraft or vessel, moving at a certain speed. The monitor device displays an image of a front scene of the moving body with the image of the central area being enlarged in accordance with the running speed of the moving body such that condition of a far away portion can be recognized accurately. A zoom ratio calculating section determines a zoom ratio in accordance with running speed of the moving body. The area of image to be displayed is selected in accordance with the zoom ratio and the image of the selected area is displayed on a display screen in an enlarged form. A specially designed distortion lens may be used to take the picture of the front scene to form an image of the scene with its central area being optically enlarged.

An image sensing unit with an improved structure and a digital camera adopting the same are provided. The image sensing unit for a digital camera includes a light-receiving surface having a plurality of pixel sensors arranged regularly on a two-dimensional region of a predetermined size, a scanning electronic circuit that outputs light incident onto the pixel sensors as an electric image signal that has undergone photoelectric conversion, and a color filter mosaic separated at a predetermined distance from the light-receiving surface in the light incidence direction. Here, the light-receiving surface is divided into a chromatic sensing element for receiving chromatic light entering through the color filter mosaic and the achromatic sensing element for receiving directly incident achromatic light that has not passed through the color filter mosaic. The digital camera adopting the image sensing unit can achieve smooth automatic focusing in a low brightness environment.

There is provided an image pickup apparatus including a plurality of pixels which are arranged in a horizontal and a vertical direction and which generate charges corresponding to optical signals, in which a color filter arrangement of a first order are arranged in horizontal pixel rows of odd numbers and a color filter arrangement of a second order are arranged in horizontal pixel rows of even numbers; and a drive circuit having a first mode for reading out pixel data of 2knull1 fields (k is a natural number) by an interlace operation from the plurality of pixels, a second mode for reading out pixel data of one field among the 2knull1 fields from said plurality of pixels, and a third mode for reading out images of a plurality of fields, the number of which is smaller than the of the 2knull1 fields, among the 2knull1 fields from said plurality of pixels.
摘要:
The present invention relates to interpolating a missing color value of a given pixel in an array of pixels. The missing color value is determined from color values of neighboring pixels using a median-based technique in which the median is taken of the four pixels values of the horizontally and vertically neighboring pixels (G1-G4) having a same color as the missing color value, and color information from at least one other color (R/B) at the given pixel.
摘要:
An image sensor comprises an array of pixels for collecting incident light and converting the light into an electrical charge; a color filter array having a plurality of colored filters positioned adjacent to the pixels for selectively transmitting specific spectral bands of light to the pixels; and a plurality of lenses positioned adjacent to individual pixels wherein the lenses positioned adjacent a first color of the colored filters are substantially larger in size than lenses adjacent a second color, such that a greater proportion of the incident light is focused onto the pixel adjacent the first color of the colored filter.
