摘要:
An imaging apparatus includes a solid-state imaging element having a matrix of pixels thereon, an optical series for entering a subject image into the solid-state imaging element, and an image shifting mechanism for relatively shifting the subject image in 2-D with respect to the solid-state imaging element. A control circuit is further included for controlling an operation of the image shifting mechanism. Still further, an image synthesizing circuit is included for synthesizing a plurality of images shifted by the image shifting mechanism, along with a moving amount detecting unit for detecting a moving amount of the subject image on the solid-state imaging element. Finally, the imaging apparatus includes a shift amount generating unit for generating an image shift amount for the subject image first, and thence a correction image shift amount based on the image shift amount and moving amount, based on which the image shifting mechanism shifts the subject image. The above arrangement makes it possible to correct a movement of the subject image formed by the imaging apparatus, thereby realizing a high-resolution image.

The Invention is an image input apparatus equipped with means of image shifting which is capable of inputting images of different resolutions, and enables the transmission band of the spatial filter to be switched in accordance with resolution in order to prevent moire. When a flat transparent refraction plate 22 is inclined relative to the optical axis 10 by which light from the object is introduced, the position where the image is formed on the imaging surface of the CCD 14 is shifted, thus making image shifting possible. High resolution images are obtained by shifting the image a distance shorter than the distance between the photosensitive parts of the CCD 14, and then combining the images. The transmission band of the spatial filter 12 for preventing moire can be switched by changing the relative angles of the double refraction plates 20, 21. The transmission band of the spatial filter 12 is switched to the high frequency side when inputting high resolution images by means of the image shift mechanism 13, thus obtaining images of good resolution.

An imaging apparatus reduces the influence of the movement of hands and of the motion of an object on a high resolution picture image. Picture image light from the object passes through an optical system and light-transmitting domains of a color filter provided at the light incident side of an imaging device. The light-transmitting domains transmit only predetermined chromatic lights of the picture image light to input to corresponding photo-receiving domains of the imaging device. The imaging device is a two-picture element mixed reading type device. In a high resolution mode, an image forming point of the picture image light is moved to two places in parallel, and the picture image light is formed at each image forming point to image the picture image light. Then, the signal processing circuit combines the two original picture image signals whose image forming points during the imaging operation are different to generate a single output picture image signal. Thereby, an equivalent imaging time in imaging a single output picture image may be shortened.

A single imaging apparatus is adapted to pick up both a motion image and a still image. In an imaging apparatus 1, image light from an object is separated into multiple monochromatic image light components by an optical system 3 and then imaged by an imaging means 4 for generation of an original image signal. The imaging apparatus 1 switches an imaging mode depending upon an output mode. The optical system 3 switches the sate of a variable spatial filter 18 depending upon an imaging mode thereby changing an effect for limiting the spatial frequency. In an output mode for motion images, an interpolative synthesizer circuit 7 generates the output image signal from a single original image signal. In an output mode for still image, an image shift mechanism 19 parallely shifts the optical axis of the incoming image light while the imaging means captures the original image light multiple times so that an output image is produced from these original image signals. An amount of attenuation of the filter 18 in the output mode for motion images is greater than that for an equivalent spatial frequency component in the output mode for still image.

A beam shaping element includes a set of diffraction gratings on each surface thereof, in such a manner that intervals between the gratings farer from a vicinity of an optical axis and nearer to a periphery are narrower, wherein each interval between the respective gratings monotonously increases or monotonously decreases along a direction in which each grating-shaped pattern extends. According to the arrangement above, it is possible to correct displacement of a light emitting point of a light source by simply performing a positional adjustment within a plane that is orthogonal to the optical axis. Thus, it is possible to provide the beam shaping element that enables to correct the displacement of the light emitting point of the light source simply by performing positional adjustment in the plane vertical to the optical axis, thereby making it unnecessary to perform positional adjustment along the optical axis direction, and to provide a light source unit and an optical pickup using the beam shaping element.

In a multi-track magnetic signal reproducing apparatus, a plurality of MR heads including MR (Magneto Resistance Effect) elements are provided correspondingly to tracks on a magnetic tape. At the time of reproduction, constant current from a constant current power supply is sequentially supplied as pulse-shaped current for detecting a signal to each MR element by a switching operation by switch in response to a prescribed clock signal, and output voltage from each MR element related to reproduction of a magnetic signal on a corresponding track is sequentially provided to one input side of a differential amplifier. In differential amplifier, the offset voltage of each MR element provided to the other input side and the above-described output voltage are differentially amplified and only voltage due to the reproducing magnetic signal of each track is accurately extracted. Accordingly, the supply of pulse-shaped current effectively suppresses increase in the amount of consumption current regardless of the number of tracks on the tape (or the number of heads), and since amplifier is shared between the tracks, the number of necessary terminals for such a multi-track MR head is reduced.

Thickness information and refractive index information of a light transmitting layer are recorded in advance on an optical recording medium. Based on the thickness information and the refractive index information of the light transmitting layer, space between two lens units of an objective lens system is adjusted in an optical recording and reproducing apparatus, so that spherical aberration is adjusted. Accordingly, in the optical recording and reproducing apparatus using two lens units, it becomes possible to correctly record or reproduce the information to and from the optical recording medium.

In accordance with the present invention a pickup device for optical disks includes spring wires supporting displaceably in focusing and tracking directions a lens holder holding an objective lens. One set of more than two spring wires is provided for each side of the lens holder and a total of two such sets of spring wires are arranged parallel to each other. Of more than two spring wires of each set, at least one spring wire has a cross section allowing a spring constant in the focusing direction and that in the tracking direction to vary from each other and is also positioned farther or closer than the remaining spring wires away or to a centerline of the objective lens. As such the pickup device can ensure a sufficient displacement in the focusing and tracking directions and also control an inclination of the lens holder.
