    摘要: An image printer for printing images with less cross-talk between images and less image flickering is provided. A plurality of images are interleft in one or a plurality of line units and a lenticular lens is used to make it possible for each individual pixel to be distinguished. The difference in brightness between an attentional pixel and the surrounding pixels that surround this attentional pixel is taken, and a correlation value is produced, the correlation value being reduced if the difference is large and increased if the difference is small. The image printer is equipped with a pixel shape controller that makes the printed pixels smaller in a region where the correlation value is low, and makes the printed pixels larger in a region where the correlation value is high.

    摘要: A rangefinder according to the present invention includes light source section, camera section, distance-measuring sensor, exposure controller and shutter. The light source section projects light onto an object for 3D imaging purposes. The camera section receives the light that was emitted from the light source section and then reflected from the object. The distance-measuring sensor estimates an approximate distance to the object. Based on the approximate distance, the exposure controller controls the optical output power of the light source section and/or the open/closed states of the shutter. The rangefinder can control the intensity of the projected light even if the object is on the move. As a result, the rangefinder can obtain highly precise information about the 3D location of the object.

    摘要: An image generation apparatus generates a new video sequence with a high S/N ratio and suppressed motion blurs, from an original video sequence and a still image which are generated by capturing the same dark, moving object. The image generation apparatus includes: a capture condition decision unit (105) which decides, based on an incident-light amount, capture conditions under which the original video sequence and the still image are to be captured; an image receiving unit (101) which receives the original video sequence and the still image which are generated under the capture conditions; an integration processing unit (104a) which generates, from the original video sequence and the still image, the new video sequence including frames having a resolution equal to or higher than the still image, at a frame rate equal to or higher than the original video sequence, by reducing a difference between (i) a value of the still image and (ii) a sum of values of the frames in the new video sequence which correspond to an exposure period for the still image. The capture condition decision unit (105c) decides a longer duration of an exposure period as a duration of the still image capturing, as the incident-light amount is smaller. Here, the duration is longer than an frame interval of the original video sequence.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus and method is provided to generate a moving picture with a high resolution, a high frame rate and a high SNR by eliminating a decrease in SNR even if the intensity of incoming light has been halved by a half mirror. The apparatus generates a multi-color moving picture based on first and second moving pictures, which respectively have first and second frame rates (where the second rate is higher than the first rate) and are comprised of pictures representing a first color component and pictures representing a second color component different from the first color component. The resolution of the second moving picture is equal to or lower than that of the first moving picture. The apparatus includes: a first image synthesizing section, which generates, based on the data of the first and second moving pictures, a synthetic picture by modifying some of the pictures that form the first moving picture and which outputs a synthesized moving picture corresponding to the first moving picture at a higher frame rate than the first frame rate by using the first moving picture and the synthetic picture; and a second image synthesizing section, which receives and synthesizes together the synthesized moving picture and the second moving picture, thereby generating a multi-color moving picture including the first and second color components.

    摘要: An image generation apparatus generates a new video sequence with a high S/N ratio and suppressed motion blurs, from an original video sequence and a still image which are generated by capturing the same dark, moving object. The image generation apparatus includes: a capture condition decision unit (105) which decides, based on an incident-light amount, capture conditions under which the original video sequence and the still image are to be captured; an image receiving unit (101) which receives the original video sequence and the still image which are generated under the capture conditions; an integration processing unit (104a) which generates, from the original video sequence and the still image, the new video sequence including frames having a resolution equal to or higher than the still image, at a frame rate equal to or higher than the original video sequence, by reducing a difference between (i) a value of the still image and (ii) a sum of values of the frames in the new video sequence which correspond to an exposure period for the still image. The capture condition decision unit (105c) decides a longer duration of an exposure period as a duration of the still image capturing, as the incident-light amount is smaller. Here, the duration is longer than an frame interval of the original video sequence.
