Abstract:
Plural image pickup apparatuses can take images in accurate synchronization. An image pickup apparatus is provided with an image pickup unit for obtaining image data, a communication unit for communicating with another image pickup apparatus in synchronization, a synchronous signal generating unit for generating a synchronous signal having a predetermined cycle and synchronized with a timing of a synchronous operation by the communication unit, an image-pickup synchronous signal generating unit for generating an image-pickup synchronous signal having a predetermined cycle and synchronized with the synchronous signal generated by the synchronous signal generating unit, and an image-pickup controlling unit for determining in accordance with the image-pickup synchronous signal generated by the image-pickup synchronous signal generating unit, image-pickup timings at which the image pickup unit obtains image data.
Abstract:
There is provided an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit, an orthogonal axis information detecting unit that detects orthogonal axis information indicating an inclination of an orthogonal axis perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging unit after imaging by the imaging unit, and a specifying unit that specifies a shooting posture of an apparatus body at time of imaging, based on the orthogonal axis information detected by the orthogonal axis information detecting unit.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily display user's desired images.An imaging apparatus includes a frame rate acquiring unit, a measuring unit and a reproduction control unit. The frame rate acquiring unit acquires the imaging frame rate of a video to be reproduced. The measuring unit measures the operation speed of a user's touch operation on a touch panel while the touch operation is performed. The reproduction control unit controls reproduction of the video which is displayed on the display panel, based on the acquired imaging frame rate and the subsequently measured operation speed.
Abstract:
A detection apparatus for detecting a subject in a digital image, including: an input and output interface to which a word for identifying the subject is input; and a processor configured to: receive the word for identifying the subject from the input and output interface; determine an attribute that is specified by the word for identifying the subject, the attribute being at least one of name, color, shape, size, and position; select a method of detection in accordance with the determined attribute; apply the selected method of detection to the digital image to detect the subject in the digital image; and output a result of the detection of the subject so as to cause a prescribed action to be performed with respect to the detected subject in the digital image.
Abstract:
FIG. 2C depicts a live view screen when a movement is made in a direction of approaching the camera position at the time of pre-photographing (frontward direction) and also in the right direction in the drawing. When the camera position is changed, the display state of a provisional subject image in the live view screen is changed according to the change. In this case, the display size of the provisional subject image is changed according to the movement distance of the camera position in the frontward direction and the display position of the provisional subject image is changed in the left direction according to the movement distance in the right direction.
Abstract:
A control section of an imaging apparatus sets a specific scene in advance, sequentially stores images continuously captured by an imaging section in a storage section, specifies images corresponding to the set specific scene from among the plurality of images stored in the storage section when a predetermined motion of the user is detected during the storing operation, and displays the specified images corresponding to the specific scene on a display section while continuing the storing operation. The control section controls when to start playback of an image of a segment corresponding to the specific scene based on whether or not the image of the segment corresponding to the specific scene is completely stored before a timing of detection of the predetermined motion of the user during the storing operation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for playback of a moving picture, which compares an action speed of a specific action of an object in a moving picture played back and displayed by a playback unit with an action speed of a separately acquired specific action which is a comparison target, controls a playback speed during the playback of the specific action by the playback unit based on the comparison result, and displays comparison information relating to the comparison result during the playback of the specific action by the playback unit.
Abstract:
An image processing device executes: a determination process of determining similarity of a motion of a subject in each of a plurality of pieces of moving image data stored in the storing unit; a selection process of selecting a specific piece of moving image data from among the pieces of moving image data on the basis of the similarity determined by the determination step; and an output process of outputting information of a selection result by the selection step.
Abstract:
The present invention can easily acquire images having a uniform aspect ratio. In an imaging device of the invention, a control section detects the movement amount and the movement direction of the imaging device based on output from an acceleration sensor. Then, when the movement direction of the imaging device in its initial movement started at the beginning of imaging is substantially linear and a substantially horizontal or vertical direction, the control section calculates a reference movement amount by which a composite image having a predetermined aspect ratio can be generated, based on the movement amount of the imaging device, and controls the display section to display imaging area information (guide) indicating the final imaging area having the predetermined aspect ratio based on the reference movement amount.
Abstract:
An imaging device is equipped with an imaging section and is provided with a reception section and an imaging control section. The reception section receives a GPS signal from a GPS satellite, which includes reference time information that is used as a reference of time. The imaging control section synchronizes a timing of imaging by the imaging section with a reference time on the basis of the reference time information included in the GPS signal received by the reception section.
