摘要： An image pickup apparatus being capable of performing a photometry process under a suitable condition and of achieving high-speed continuous photographing. A first drive, which accumulates and reads an electric charge with an image sensor for a photometry process, and a second drive, which accumulates and reads an electric charge to obtain an image signal for a static image, are alternately repeated during continuous photographing. A photometry process is performed based on the electric charge read by the first drive. An aperture value for obtaining the image signal of an (N+1)th frame is calculated based on a result of the photometry process during accumulation for obtaining the image signal of an N-th frame. A control unit controls a diaphragm based on the calculated aperture value and a predetermined aperture value during reading of the electric charge for obtaining the image signal of the N-th frame.

摘要： In one embodiment, a camera includes an image sensor within a camera housing that converts light entering the camera housing through an optical filter into digital image data. The optical filter can have a variable opacity. A processor in communication with the image sensor identifies operation settings for the optical filter and adjusts an opacity level of the optical filter over an exposure period in accordance with the operation settings for the optical filter. In addition, the processor modifies values of the digital image data based at least on the operation settings for the optical filter.

摘要： An imaging device includes at least a first group of pixels. A driver block is configured to generate at least two shutter signals, each having on-phases periodically alternating with off-phases. The shutter signals might not be in phase. The imaging device may have an optical shutter that is partitioned in two or more parts, or a set of two or more optical shutters. The shutter parts, or the shutters, may receive the shutter signals, and accordingly open and close. A design of the driver block requires reduced power, which is highly desirable for mobile applications. Moreover, 3D imaging may be implemented that uses various time-of-flight configurations.

摘要： Collision of communication data on a network line is prevented. A plurality of CPU boards which are independent of one another and have respective ones of CPUs mounted thereon are connected by a network line. Since data collision will occur when multiple streams of control data are transmitted on the network line, the order of priority of camera control is decided. If a zoom lens is shifted toward telephoto and, moreover, the aperture of an iris is shifted toward the open side, the order of priority of focusing lens control is raised. If a zoom lens is shifted toward wide angle and, moreover, the aperture of the iris is shifted toward the closed side, the order of priority of focusing lens control is lowered. Since camera control is carried out in accordance with the order of priority, collision of data on the network line is avoided.

摘要翻译： 阻止网络通信数据的冲突。 通过网络线连接彼此独立并且具有安装在其上的相应CPU的多个CPU板。 由于在网络线上发送多条控制数据时会发生数据冲突，所以决定了摄像机控制的优先顺序。 如果将变焦镜头朝长焦方向移动，此外，光圈的孔径朝向开放侧移动，则提高了聚焦镜头控制的优先顺序。 如果变焦镜头朝向广角转移，此外，光圈的孔径向封闭侧移动，聚焦镜头控制的优先级降低。 由于根据优先级的顺序执行照相机控制，因此避免了网络线上的数据冲突。
