摘要:
In a digital signal processor for an imaging system, a first pixel signal including first and second color information items and a second pixel signal including third and fourth color information items are alternately outputted to generate an image signal, which is subdivided into a portion to be delayed by a horizontal scanning period and a portion not to be delayed such that these signals are thereafter combined to form an image signal having respective pixel signals so as to achieve a matrix processing on the resultant signal to attain red, blue, and green signals.

An image pickup apparatus is provided with a first adder which outputs a sum signal by adding a first luminance signal produced from the signals of odd-numbered lines of a solid-state image sensor and a second luminance signal produced from the signals of even-numbered lines of the solid-state image sensor, a first subtracter which outputs a difference signal by subtracting the first luminance signal from the second luinance signal, a noise reducer which reduces noise in the difference signal, a second adder which outputs a third luminance signal by adding the difference signal with its noise reduced to the sum signal, and a second subtracter which outputs a fourth luminance signal by subtracting the difference signal with its noise reduced from the sum signal. A frame still picture is formed from the third luminance signal and fourth luminance signal.

A fall detection device is provided, which accomplishes a fall judgment on acceleration by a simple calculation and improves uniformity of effective threshold value for the acceleration judgment as to a direction of an applied acceleration vector. The fall detection device produces a fall detection signal when an absolute value of each axis component of an acceleration measured by a three-axis acceleration sensor is less than a first threshold value, and when a sum of the absolute values of the axis components of the acceleration is less than a second threshold value that is 1.5 times to twice the first threshold value.
