摘要:
An image processing apparatus having a solid state image sensor for inputting an optical image thereto and converting the image into an electrical signal; an image memory having a general-purpose DRAM formed by at least one chip and required to control the refresh operation from the outside of the memory chip; a timing signal generator for generating timing of read from the solid state image sensor; a transfer/storage control device for horizontally reading data from the solid state image sensor synchronously with the horizontal read timing signal generated from the timing signal generator, transferring the read data and storing the data in the DRAM; a first refresh signal generator for refreshing the DRAM at predetermined time intervals when no data is read from the solid state image sensor; and a second refresh signal generator for refreshing the DRAM a predetermined number of times during the dormant period of the horizontal read timing signal. In the apparatus, the second refresh signal generator is made effective synchronously with the horizontal read timing signal during the time of read from the solid state image sensor, and the first refresh signal generator is made effective during a time other than the time of read from the solid state image sensor.

An image signal reproducing apparatus includes a synchronizing signal generator which is configured so as to count the number of clocks of a generated clock signal, generate various kinds of timing signals in accordance with the result of count, compare the phase of the generated timing signal with the phase of an input synchronizing signal, and control a period to count the number of clocks of the clock signal in accordance with the result of comparison. It becomes thereby possible to form various kinds of correct timing signals even if the input synchronizing signal reproduced from a recording medium is deteriorated.

A magnetic disc recording apparatus comprises a search mechanism for searching for an unrecorded position on the disc to properly continue the recording to the same disc and a head control mechanism for setting a recording head at the searched unrecorded position on the disc. The search mechanism operates when it is detected that the disc has been replaced or exchanged. The head control mechanism sets the head at a predetermined preparatory position for searching, corresponding to an extremity of a predetermined searching range of the search mechanism for searching for the unrecorded position when there is an indication that the disc has been unloaded.

Control device for controlling the driving motion of an exposure member, such as a diaphragm or shutter, so as to variably control the aperture opening thereof, wherein a particular value for the diaphragm or shutter is determined and the diaphragm or shutter is set to the determined value, and if the determined value is detected by a detector while the diaphragm or shutter is in the initial state, the diaphragm or shutter is initially driven in the opening or closing direction.

A display unit capable of simultaneously displaying motion pictures, still pictures and character data received in a multiplexed form on a single input terminal. A decoder distributes the motion picture data directly to a motion picture data memory without modification, while a processing device receives the still picture and character data from the decoder and processes it before applying it to a still picture and character data memory. The outputs of the two memories are ORed together, then applied to drive a cathode-ray tube.

A method for an apparatus including an acquisition unit for acquiring moving image data, and a recording unit for recording the acquired moving image data in a loaded recording medium, includes determining whether the recording medium is a recordable and non-erasable recording medium, and if the recording medium is a recordable and non-erasable recording medium, controlling the recording unit so as to automatically stop recording of the moving image data according to the fact that a predetermined time has elapsed from the recording start of the moving image data, and if the recording medium is not a recordable and non-erasable recording medium, controlling the recording unit so as not to automatically stop recording of the moving image data, even if the predetermined time has elapsed from the recording start of the moving image data.

A recording/reproducing apparatus has a network mode for transmitting and receiving image data through a network and a normal mode for recording and reproducing image data without connecting to a network. In a mode capable of switching between the network mode and the normal mode, the apparatus prohibits the data recording operation on a recording medium and the data erasing operation on the recording medium regardless of whether an accidental-recording prevention means is in a recording-allowed state or in a recording-prohibited state.

An information processing apparatus for receiving a recording medium that stores image data and data setting conditions for an operation relating to the image data, and that includes an erroneous-erasure prevention mechanism, includes an image recording device for rewriting or erasing image data recorded in the recording medium, a setting device for setting conditions for an operation relating to the image data recorded in the recording medium, a detector for detecting a state of the erroneous-erasure prevention mechanism, and a controller for performing control of the apparatus so that, when the detector detects that the erroneous-erasure prevention mechanism is in an erroneous-erasure prevention state, an operation of the image recording device is prohibited, and an operation of the setting device is permitted.
摘要:
When a region of interest of an image is compressed with high quality by an image sensing apparatus, such as a digital camera or the like, the region of interest (ROI) can be compressed by a compression coefficient different from that of other regions of the image according to the so-called JPEG 2000 method. However, setting the ROI is a complicated operation for a user. In the present invention, when a continuous photographing mode is not set, a single image sensing operation is assumed and the ROI is automatically set in a first region, which is the largest of three regions. Whereas in the continuous photographing mode, if a low-speed mode is set, the ROI is set in a second region smaller than the first region, and if a high-speed mode is set, the ROI is set in a third region, which is the smallest. In other words, the ROI is automatically set in the largest region in the single photographing mode, and when the continuous photographing mode is set, the ROI is automatically set larger in the low-speed mode than in the high-speed mode.
