摘要:
A solid-state imaging device comprises a number of photodiodes arrayed in horizontal rows and vertical columns, a first output circuit for sequentially reading out signal charges from those photodiodes which are arrayed on odd-numbered horizontal rows, a second output circuit for sequentially reading out signal charges from the photodiodes arrayed on the even-numbered horizontal rows, a synchronizing pulse generator for synchronizing operation of the first and second output circuits, a first subtracting circuit for determining the difference between the output signals of the first and second output circuits in odd-numbered field, and a second subtracting circuit for determining the difference between the output signals of the first and second output circuits in even-numbered field. The outputs of the first and second subtracting circuit are alternately extracted in synchronism with the synchronizing pulse produced by the synchronizing pulse generator. The solid-state imaging device is made immune to the smear phenomenon. The invention can be advantageously applied to the solid-state imaging device of CCD type as well as MOS type.

In a solid state color imaging system comprising a two-dimensional array of photoelectric devices, the photoelectric device in one of two adjacent rows are displaced with respect to those in the other row in the horizontal direction by half a horizontal pitch of the photoelectric devices, and the respective color filter elements associated with three photoelectric devices adjacent to one another in the two rows have such spectrum characteristics that the sum of outputs from the three photoelectric devices substantially corresponds to a luminance signal, whereby Moire is suppressed and high quality color pictures are obtained.

The present invention relates to a color imaging device which suppresses false color signals appearing in an area where the difference of brightnesses is great in the horizontal or vertical direction.When the correlation between picture elements adjacent in the vertical direction is little and the false signal appears in a boundary part in the vertical direction, the false signal is detected, whereupon a color signal is demodulated by utilizing the correlation between the signals of picture elements in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, when the correlation between picture elements adjacent in the horizontal direction is little and the false signal appears in a boundary part in the horizontal direction, the false signal is detected, whereupon a color signal is demodulated by utilizing the correlation between the signals of picture elements in the vertical direction.As a result, the moire phenomenon attributed to the false color signals can be conspicuously reduced.While embodiments of the present invention refer to color imaging devices which employ MOS type solid-state imaging devices, the invention is also applicable to an imaging device which employs CCDs and a color image pickup tube which separates colors by means of a mosaic color filter.

An image pickup apparatus provided with a circuit for taking the maximum one of the three signal currents out of three photoconductive pickup tubes and a circuit for obtaining the difference of the maximum signal current from a current proportional to one of the cathode currents of the three pickup tubes, wherein the voltages at the beam control electrodes of the three pickup tubes are controlled together by the voltage signal corresponding to the difference current so that the resolutions of the pickup tubes are improved and that the scanning beam control circuit is simplified.
摘要:
In a solid state imaging device in which two signals on two horizontal scanning lines are read out simultaneously for easy image enhancement, the two signals read from the two horizontal scanning lines are subtracted from each other while they are added together, and the difference signal is added to the sum signal so as to produce a video signal subject to the image enhancement. As a solid state image sensor, a MOS type image sensor as well as a CCD, CID or CC type image sensor may be used.
摘要:
A color imaging apparatus having a plurality of image pickup tubes which pick up respective optical images of primary colors separated from one optical image includes a registration control circuit which operates to hold a picture of high quality at all times by controlling the registration of the images of the respective image pickup tubes on a real time basis during the operation of the camera. To this end a circuit detects those local image signals which satisfy predetermined requisites which are most favorable for use as reference signals to control the registration and these detected image signals are temporarily stored so as to be used for the registration operation. The most favorable requisites of the local image areas selected for registration control are (1) those having no movement, (2) those having a contour which is sharp and (3) those having a chroma which is low.
