摘要： A system for controlling photosensitive charge transfers utilizes an array of photosensitive elements, a transfer gate, a charge transfer register, and a controller. The transfer gate is coupled to the photosensitive elements, and the charge transfer register is coupled to the transfer gate. The charge transfer register is configured to receive charges from the array of photosensitive elements, via the transfer gate, and to shift the charges out of the charge transfer register. The controller is configured to control the transfer gate such that charges are collected in each of the photosensitive elements and transferred, via the transfer gate, to the charge transfer register. The controller is further configured to enable the transfer gate during a time period when the charge transfer register is shifting a set of charges previously transferred from the array of photosensitive elements to the charge transfer register.

摘要： Smoothing that uses pieces of color information of at least one color component of a target pixel and of pixels adjacent to the target pixel among a plurality of pixels that form image data is performed selectively for at least one color component of the target pixel. The smoothing is in accordance with correlation between the target pixel and pixels in the vicinity of the target pixel. Since the entire image data is not smoothed uniformly, the smoothing can be performed so as to leave structures inherent to the original image.

摘要： A high-quality processed image can be obtained by eliminating an effect of a tone characteristic and a color characteristic caused by a model of a digital camera from image data obtained by the digital camera, while colors in processed image data are prevented from being ruined. A model tone characteristic absorption processing unit absorbs the model tone characteristic of the digital camera by using a tone correction curve corresponding to the model, and image data not depending on the model are obtained. An AE/AWB processing unit carries out exposure correction on the image data, and a tone correction unit carries out tone correction thereon for printing. Miscellaneous processing means carries out color correction by using a model color characteristic profile generated to correct colors approximately.

摘要： A system wherein already-existing computing and memory resources in an electronic camera are used to process an image for printing. Rather than duplicating, in printers, computing and memory resources that are already in digital cameras, significant computing and memory resources need exist only in the camera. A digital camera can support many different printers, each with its own set of parameters such as for example print size, pixel size, colorimetry, sensitometry, and artifacts compensation. Printer parameters are uploaded from the printer to the camera to provide a basis for image processing specific to the associated printer; whereby compensation may be done for variations in the printer characteristics which may occur as a result of printer manufacturing variations, and further so that compensation may be done for different media types which may be installed in the printer.

摘要： A digital camera image controller apparatus for a mobile phone is disclosed, which uses a sensing module to collect optical signal of an image and produce RGB (red, green, blue) image signal from the optical signal, and an image controller to receive the RGB image signal and accordingly produce a preview signal of the image to an LCD module. Also, the image controller outputs compressed or non-compressed image signal to a baseband processor. In addition, the image controller includes chromatic aberration interpolator and an RGB-to-YUV converter provided by a typical camera module. Therefore, the inventive camera module can include a sensing module simply having lens and sensor, thus avoiding defects caused by using the typical camera module.
