Abstract:
When an image is captured in a wood lumber measuring mode, a distance to wood lumber is detected. An area extracting unit 51 for a component drawing image area extracts component image areas 53A-53L of the wood lumber. A drawing generator 61 for a component drawing image selects the component image areas 53A-53L successively to generate a component drawing image 62. Among shape lines in the component drawing image 62, an eliminator 66 eliminates a paracentral shape line 71, an edge side shape line 72, a peripheral shape line 73 and determined shape lines 74. If a total pixel number of a portion where an estimated elliptical shape 76 generated by a shape estimation unit 67 is overlapped on a residual shape line 75 disposed inside a corrected drawing image 64 is more than a threshold, it is judged that the estimated elliptical shape 76 is correctly shaped. An object shape determining unit 83 extracts the estimated elliptical shape 76 as a shape of wood lumber. A size measuring unit 84 measures a size of the estimated elliptical shape. A size determining unit 85 determines an actual size of the wood lumber according to the size measured by the size measuring unit 84, the distance to the wood lumber and a focal length.

Abstract:
A subject is imaged at a predetermined time interval by a plurality of imaging units which obtains a plurality of images having a parallax of a subject viewed from different viewpoints by imaging the subject from different viewpoints. An evaluation value which includes at least one of a luminance and a high frequency component of the images obtained by the imaging units at the predetermined time interval is calculated. When the evaluation value has changed by an amount exceeding a predetermined threshold value, the distance information calculation and three-dimensional processing on the plurality of images and object are performed. Here, a relative position of the object with respect to the three-dimensional image in a three-dimensional space is changed based on the distance information such that overlapping of the object and the three-dimensional image on top of each other is prevented when the three-dimensional display is performed.
Abstract:
A print system comprises a digital camera and a printer. The digital camera photographs a subject and produces image data. Print data including print-setting data and printing data is produced from the image data and print setting information. The digital camera is provided with a high-speed radio I/F and a low-speed radio I/F. The printer is also provided with a high-speed radio I/F and a low-speed radio I/F. The setting data is transferred from the digital camera to the printer through the low-speed radio I/F. The printing data is transferred from the digital camera to the printer through the high-speed radio I/F. The printer prints an image of the subject on the basis of the print data transferred from the digital camera to the printer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an image taking main unit that prevents entry of foreign matter and has excellent usability even when an image taking lens unit is not attached thereto. The image taking main unit has a concave mount to which the image taking lens unit with an image taking optical system and an imaging device is removably attached and receives image signals from the image taking lens unit attached thereto to record the image signals therein. The image taking main unit also has a barrier and an electronic device disposed on the barrier. The barrier covers an opening of the mount and retracts into the concave portion of the mount by being pressed by the image taking lens unit when the image taking lens unit is attached to the image taking main unit.
Abstract:
A mobile device is equipped with a transmitting function to transmit data. When a power switch is turned off during data transmission, a transition is made to a transmission-during-power-off mode that continues data transmission. The transition to the transmission-during-power-off mode is performed when an inquiry is made on a screen as to whether transmission will be performed and “continue” is subsequently selected. In this mode, even when the mobile device with the power switch being turned off is carried around, data transmission is continued and data is recorded into a storage section of a home personal computer.
Abstract:
An image distribution system includes an image storage device and an image distribution server. The image storage device includes a storage section which memorizes image data, and the image storage device switches into a mass storage mode when a switching signal is inputted. The image distribution server outputs the switching signal to the image storage device when there is a request from an external section, acquires the image data from the storage section of the image storage device which has switched to the mass storage mode, and distributes the acquired image data in response to a request from an image display browser.
