摘要:
In the device disclosed, an image formed by an optical system is scanned by an image sensor composed of independently arranged photoelectric transducing elements to produce an image scanning signal. A detecting circuit detects the variation of the brightness between the adjacent image elements as a measure of the sharpness of the image and the focus of the optical system. The focus detection accuracy is improved by non-linear transformation of the brightness variation signal with a non-linear transformation circuit that weighs the brightness variation signal on the basis of the signal level. A signal forming circuit detects the difference between the outputs of transducing elements and adds the differences to produce a comparator signal when a predetermined relationship is reached between the sharpness indication and the addition signal. An indicator indicates that the focusing condition cannot be discerned in response to the comparison signal and a control inhibits the output of the detection circuit to the indicator prior to the addition signal.

Disclosed is a focus detecting system in which first and second signals corresponding to image forming states at first and second positions each almost at the same distance before and behind a predetermined focal plane of an image forming optical system are obtained. A third signal corresponding to an image forming state at a third position different from the first and the second positions is also obtained. The in-focus state of the image formed by the image forming optical system is detected on the basis of a first comparison signal obtained by comparing the first and the second signals with each other, a second comparison signal obtained by comparing the first and the third signals with each other and a third comparison signal obtained by comparing the second and the third signals with each other.

In the disclosed TV camera, a focus detecting device detects the focus of the image optical system by evaluating the image of the object whose image is to be picked up, on the basis of the picture image signal obtained at a predetermined position in the image pick up surface of the image pick up device. At least a part of the image to be evaluated is formed at a position within the scanning area of the image pick up device but outside of the effective image pick up area for TV signals. The image is evaluated on the basis of the picture image signal obtained at this position to detect the focus.

A distance detecting device in which, with respect to an object whose distance is to be detected, the images of a first and a second field following different lines of sight and containing the object and different in range are scanned while, at the same time, continuous M quantized image element data regarding the first field image and continuous N (N>M) quantized image element data regarding the second field image are obtained and the M image element data regarding the first field image are stored in a first circulation type shift register while the first M image element data of the N image element data regarding the second field image are stored in a second circulation type shift register and the remaining N-M image element data are stored in a third shift register, and the comparison between the stored data of the first and second shift registers during one circulation of said stored data and the relative shift of n bits each of the stored data of the second and third shift registers with respect to the stored data of the first shift register are repeatedly effected to thereby detect the distance to the object, characterized in that in the circulation circuit of the first shift register, bypass means is provided for delaying one circulation of the stored data of the first shift register by n bits relative to one circulation of the stored data of the second shift register and the stored data of the first shift register are circulated through the bypass means, whereby for each one circulation of the stored data of the first shift register, the stored data of the second shift register are shifted by n bits each relative to the stored data of the first shift register.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method of detecting the focusing condition of an image forming optical system to an object, in which two images of the object are formed with respective light beams from the prescribed exit pupil areas lying in almost symmetry to each other with respect to the optical axis of the optical system and are sensed to obtain an equal number of picture element data for each of the images, and based on the thus-obtained picture element data, while sequential shifting for the first image is carried out from its one end to its opposite end, and a sequential shifting for the second image from its symmetric one end thereto to its opposite end, each by a predetermined number of picture elements, a correlation betweeen the first and second images in every predetermined equal number of picture elements is sought, whereby an optimum correlation is obtained, the corresponding mutual positional relationship between the above-described predetermined numbers of picture elements is detected to discriminate whether or not the above-described image forming optical system is in focus for the above-described object.
摘要:
Disclosed is a TTL (Through-The-Lens) type focus detecting device for use in an interchangeable lens-equipped camera, in which a plurality of lenslets are positioned at or near the prescribed focal plane of the objective lens, each of the lenslets is associated with two or more pairs of photosensitive elements. Upon attachment of an objective lens to the camera body, one of the pairs of photosensitive elements for each lenslet is automatically selected to operate on the basis of the dimensions of the used objective lens. The outputs of the selected pairs of photosensitive elements for all the lenslets are processed to detect whether or not a positional difference between two images of an object formed with light beams from the objective lens at respective virtual exit pupils lying in almost symmetry with respect to the optical axis thereof is present, whereby the detection of whether or not the objective lens is in-focus is indicated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a motion detecting device for detecting the relative motion rate or velocity between an object and an optical instrument in an exposure control system by which the exposure time, i.e. the shutter speed of the instrument is controlled in response to the relative motion rate or velocity. The motion detecting device is designed to detect the displacement ratio or speed of the position of the center of gravity of the light distribution of the object image on the imaging plane, whereby the danger for misdetection due to the periodical fluctuation of the object brightness can be profitably avoided, being possible to detect only the relative movement between the object and the instrument.
