| 20100214441 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a first storage unit, and a smoothing unit. The imaging unit outputs an image signal. The first storage unit stores the image signal. The smoothing unit performs a smoothing of causing the first storage unit to store a predetermined amount of the image signal uniformly on time within a horizontal scanning period in which the predetermined amount of the image signal is output from the imaging unit. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100231742 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, an image signal transmitter, an image signal receiver, a signal processor and a control unit. The imaging element includes pixels arranged in two-dimensional array. The pixels output an imaging signal in synchronization with a first synchronizing signal. The image signal transmitter superimposes a second synchronizing signal on the imaging signal and transmits an image signal. The second synchronizing signal indicates a start position in vertical and horizontal directions in the two-dimensional array and is different from the first synchronizing signal. The image signal receiver receives the image signal from the image signal transmitter, and separates the received image signal into the imaging signal and second synchronizing signal. The signal processor processes the separated imaging signal based on the separated second synchronizing signal. The control unit receives the first synchronizing signal, and controls peripheral circuits in synchronization with the first synchronizing signal. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100260428 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes image processors and a margin storing buffer. The image processors read an input image data from a frame memory for each image data of a plurality of block lines each having a first number of pixels along the columns and a second number of pixels along the rows. The margin storing buffer stores the image data of the margin portion used also in the image processing of the image data of the next block line, among the image data of the present block line input to each of the image processors. Each of the image processors performs the image processing on an image data including the image data of the present block line and the image data of the margin portion, at the time of image processing on the image data of the next block line. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100309319 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element, a transfer unit, a storage unit, a signal processing unit, a write control unit, a read control unit, and a clock generation unit. The imaging element outputs image signals. The transfer unit serially transfers the image signals by using transfer channels. The storage unit stores the image signals transferred. The signal processing unit processes the image signals stored. The write control unit controls the writing of the image signals to the storage unit, in synchronism with a first clock signal synchronous with the image signals. The read control unit controls the reading of the image signals from the storage unit, in synchronism with a second clock signal for driving the signal processing unit. The clock generation unit generates the second clock signal having a frequency that accords with an amount of data constituted by the image signals transferred. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100321538 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes a distortion correction unit, a distortion correction range calculation unit, a control unit, a storage control unit, and a margin storage memory. The distortion correction unit performs a distortion correction processing on image data stored in a frame memory. The distortion correction range calculation unit calculates distortion correction ranges. The control unit determines an input image range from present distortion correction range and next distortion correction range. The storage control unit calculates a range for a part of the image data corresponding to the input image range from the present distortion correction range and the next distortion correction range. The margin storage memory stores the image data of the range calculated by the storage control unit. The image data input to the distortion correction unit includes both the image data from the frame memory and the image data from the margin storage memory. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20100328322 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes an image processing block, a plurality of control blocks, and a plurality of register sets. The image processing block carries out a specific process based on input setting data. Each of the plurality of control blocks controls the specific process of the image processing block independently. The plurality of register sets are used in data communication between each of the plurality of control blocks and the image processing block. When any one of the plurality of control blocks is controlling the specific process of the image processing block, each of the remaining control blocks performs data communication with the image processing block using the corresponding register set. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100328724 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus includes a processing block, a first control block, and a second control block. The first control block issues a write request signal for inputting a first write pulse to a register of the processing block. The second control block issues a second write pulse cliffs differing from the first write pulse with timing independent of the first control block. The processing block includes the register, a write pulse generating circuit which generates the first write pulse according to the write request signal from the first control block, and a switching circuit which selects either the first write pulse or the second write pulse and inputs the selected pulse to the register. | 12-30-2010 |
