An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to image an object, a gain adjustment unit configured to adjust a gain for an image signal output from the imaging unit, a signal processing unit configured to process the image signal, the signal processing unit including a first noise reduction unit to reduce a particular noise included in the image signal, an image compression unit configured to compress an image signal output from the signal processing unit, the image compression unit including a second noise reduction unit to reduce the particular noise included in the image signal output from the signal processing unit, and a control unit configured to set one of the first and second noise reduction units into an operative state and another unit into an inoperative state according to a gain adjustment by the gain adjustment unit.
摘要:
There is disclosed an image processing apparatus which implements an image process suitable for an effect for compositing or switching images, and an image process that allows smooth high-speed playback of even an image in motion. The apparatus has band segmentation means for segmenting an image signal into a plurality of frequency band components, and image composition means for, after the band segmentation means segments input first and second image signals, outputting a third image signal by replacing image data for respective segmented band components. When image data, which are recorded while being segmented into a plurality of frequency band components, are composited for respective band, and the composite image data is output, image data obtained by compositing a plurality of image frequency components is decoded and played back in a high-speed playback mode.
摘要:
A white balance correcting device for correcting white balance by using video signals is arranged to be capable of accurately obtaining white balance even in a case where a picture includes only a small white part therein. The white balance correcting device is arranged to divide a picture into a plurality of blocks, to obtain a mean value of signals by averaging signals of each divided block as representing the block and a peak value of luminance from a signal having the highest luminance among others in each divided block also as representing the block, and to use, for white balance control, either the mean value or the peak value according to the state of the object of shooting.

A video camera and a recording and reproducing apparatus each comprise a communication circuit arranged to modulate by a spread spectrum communication method a video signal outputted from an image pickup element and transmit the modulated video signal to an external monitor by wireless communication. The video camera and the recording and reproducing apparatus each further comprise a recording and reproducing part for recording and reproducing a video signal outputted from the image pickup element on and from a recording medium, and an arrangement which brings the communication circuit to a transmitting state according to the state of operation of the recording and reproducing part.
摘要:
An exhaust passage has an upstream end connected to an engine combustion chamber and a downstream end open to the atmosphere. A device substantially equalizes natural frequencies of the exhaust passage respectively corresponding to third-degree and fourth-degree modes of standing pressure waves developing in the exhaust passage. A pressure damper is connected to a point of the exhaust passage at which an antinode of the third-degree or fourth-degree mode lies.

An engine mounting for suspending an engine relative to a vehicle structure. The engine mounting comprises a first armature for connection to the engine and a second armature for connection to the vehicle structure and a bellows interposed between the first and second armature to define therewith a closed enclosure. The closed enclosure is filled with pressuzied gas. An inertia mass is mounted on the bellows. A mass of the inertia mass and an apparent spring constant of the bellows are selected such that the inertia mass vibrates in inverse phase relationship with the phase of vibration of the first armature when the engine operates within a vibration insulated domain.

Between two elastic resilient blocks are disposed in parallel first and second vibration absorbers. The first absorber is an air-filled annular tube which absorbs a high-frequency small-altitude vibration which is transmitted from the engine to the vehicle body, while the second absorber is an elastic resilient block which absorbs a low-frequency large-altitude vibration which is transmitted from the vehicle body to the engine.
