20100045826 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, CAMERA DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - Provided are an image processing apparatus and method in which, when there is a change in a subject, a picture in which a changing part thereof is enlarged makes it possible to easily confirm whether or not the subject is changing and contents of the changing part. The image processing apparatus ( | 02-25-2010 |
20100033552 | METHOD FOR COMPRESSING IMAGING DATA BY USING WIDE-ANGLE LENS, DECOMPRESSED DISPLAY METHOD, COMPRESSION DEVICE, WIDE-ANGLE CAMERA DEVICE, AND MONITOR SYSTEM - Please replace the current Abstract with the following Abstract: The advantage of the invention is to efficiently reduce the amount of image data shot by using a wide-angle lens such as a fish-eye lens. A method of compressing image data shot by a wide-angle lens according to the invention comprises: displacing the image data in a way so that within a rectangular image containing a circular image shot by the wide-angle lens, numbers of colors associated with a plurality of pixel data outside of a predetermined circular region are reduced; and compressing the image data associated with the rectangular image after the above displacement process is performed on the rectangular image. | 02-11-2010 |
20100020202 | CAMERA APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - Provided is a camera apparatus capable of displaying an image where a wide range is imaged, and enlarging an image of a narrow range when required for display, thereby facilitating to distinguish the content of the image. The camera apparatus generates a reduced image where the entire captured image is displayed in a certain area of the display screen of the display means, corrects a distortion caused by a wide-angle lens with respect to one or more portions of the captured image, generates an enlarged image enlarged in comparison with the reduced image, and displays both of the reduced and enlarged images on the display screen. | 01-28-2010 |
20100007766 | CAMERA DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - Provided is a camera apparatus capable of picking up an image by which an entirety of a subject can be checked even if there is a significant difference in brightness between parts of the subject. A plurality of picked-up images by picking up images of one subject with different exposure times or with different diaphragms are obtained. Then, a part of a picked-up image whose light-receiving level is without a predetermined light-receiving level is replaced by a part of another picked-up image which is photographed as a part whose light-receiving level is within the predetermined light-receiving level. The picked-up image composited by the replacement is displayed as a monitor picture. | 01-14-2010 |
20090303351 | DYNAMIC IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, DYNAMIC IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND WIDE-ANGLE DYNAMIC IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE - At least an embodiment enables displaying of a video image of a desired subject or a direction without a need for a camera operator to pay a special attention to the desired subject or the direction. The video displaying method may include cutting out a portion of a still image imaged by the wide-angle lens and producing a display data for a first display image, specifying a changed amount of an imaging angle from the imaging timing for the previously cut-out still image to the imaging timing for the still image to be cut-out, cutting out a second or later still image imaged by the wide-angle lens as well as shifting the cut-out region for the second or later still image so as to cancel the specified change amount of the imaging angle, forming a display data for the second or later display images. | 12-10-2009 |
20090268046 | METHOD FOR COMPRESSING IMAGING DATA BY WIDE-ANGLE LENS, COMPRESSION DEVICE, WIDE-ANGLE CAMERA DEVICE, AND MONITOR SYSTEM - The advantage of the invention is to efficiently reduce the amount of image data shot by using a wide-angle lens such as a fish-eye lens. A method of compressing image data shot with a wide-angle lens | 10-29-2009 |
20090185028 | CAMERA APPARATUS AND IMAGE RECORDING/REPRODUCING METHOD - Provided is a camera apparatus capable of recording an image where a wide range is photographed, and making it easier to distinguish a content of a necessary image by enlarging and displaying an image of a narrow range based on predetermined information. The camera apparatus includes: a camera section including a wide-angle photographic lens and image-pickup means; microphones for collecting a sound emitted from a subject and/or sounds around the subject; processing control means for recording image data subjected to the image processing and the sounds collected by the microphone and the like; display means including a display screen for displaying a picture of the image data subjected to the image processing as well as reproducing the collected sounds; and operation means for operating the display screen. The processing control means performs a processing of recording an entirety of the picked-up image and a processing of displaying the picture on the display means by cutting out a specific area or an area toward a direction from which a sound is coming based on the collected sounds or other information from the entirety of the image obtained by photographing. | 07-23-2009 |
