| 20080259170 | Blur Correction Device, Blur Correction Method, Electronic Apparatus Including Blur Correction Device, Image File And Image File Creating Apparatus - Image files are rearranged according to the blurring amount obtained from each of blurring information pieces of the image files and displayed as thumbnail images. After several image files are selected from the displayed image files, the image information pieces of the selected image files are sequentially corrected. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090086174 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS, IMAGE CORRECTING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus for acquiring a main image from an image sensing portion and recording the main image on a recording medium has: an image acquirer that acquires, when acquiring the main image from the image sensing portion, also a short-exposure image shot with an exposure time shorter than an exposure time of the main image; a partial image cutter that cuts out a partial image from the short-exposure image; and a recording controller that records, on the recording medium, in association with the main image, a sub image obtained from the partial image, along with the cut-out position of the partial image. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090179995 | Image Shooting Apparatus and Blur Correction Method - An image shooting apparatus includes: an image-sensing portion adapted to acquire an image by shooting; a blur correction processing portion adapted to correct blur in a first image obtained by shooting based on the first image and a second image shot with an exposure time shorter than the exposure time of the first image; and a control portion adapted to control whether or not to make the blur correction processing portion execute blur correction processing. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100277620 | Imaging Device - Before performing a zoom in operation, a view angle candidate frame indicating an angle of view after the zoom in operation is superimposed on an input image to generate an output image. A user checks the view angle candidate frame in the output image so as to check in advance an angle of view after the zoom in operation. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110050549 | Image Display Device - Provided is an image display device which displays corresponding images corresponding to image data items classified into categories. In particular, the image display device preferentially displays a corresponding image corresponding to an image data item which belongs to a representative category selected from the categories. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110069074 | Image Display Device And Image Display Method - A switching amount indicating an amount, by which corresponding images are switched, is set based on a switching instruction, which is input by a user. When a displayed corresponding image does not have a close correlation with at least a corresponding image to be displayed next, the corresponding images are switched by a first switching amount, which is determined based on the switching instruction. When the correlation is close, the corresponding images are switched by a second switching amount, which is determined by a method different from that of the first switching amount. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110150349 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS - An image processing unit includes a second-taken image generation unit which performs a blurring process on a first taken image including a plurality of small areas so as to generate a second taken image, a focus degree deriving unit which derives a focus degree of each small area, and a combination process unit which combines each small area of the first taken image with each second small area of the second taken image corresponding to each small area of the first taken image. The combination process unit sets a mixing ratio of the second taken image in the combination to a larger value as a focus degree of each small area derived by the focus degree deriving unit is smaller. The second-taken image generation unit includes a face area detection unit which detects a face image area from the first taken image, and a blurring process unit which performs the blurring process on the first taken image on the basis of the detected face image area so as to generate the second taken image. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20100149350 | Image Sensing Apparatus And Image Sensing Method - An image sensing apparatus senses first and second images, and produces a merged image by merging the first and second images together. An exposure time for the second image is longer than an exposure time for the first image. By sensing the first image before the second image, the first image is prevented from being sensed during a camera-shake-increase period starting a long time after the input of a image-sensing-start instruction. Also, by waiting for an image-sensing standby time to elapse before sensing the first image, the first image can be sensed during a period of a particularly small camera shake. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100149384 | Image Processing Apparatus And Image Sensing Apparatus - An image processing apparatus outputs an output image by synthesizing a first image obtained by shooting, a second image obtained by shooting with an exposure time longer than the exposure time of the first image, and a third image obtained by reducing noise in the first image. The image processing apparatus has a noise reduction processing control portion which controls the contents of image processing for obtaining the third image from the first image according to the noise level in the first image. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100157110 | Image Sensing Apparatus - An image sensing apparatus that includes an image sensing portion outputting the image data of an image by shooting and that generates an output image based on the output data of the image sensing portion obtained in response to a predetermined shooting command has: a first correction portion which, based on the image data of a first image shot by the image sensing portion and the image data of a second image shot by the image sensing portion with an exposure time longer than the exposure time of the first image, performs position adjustment between the first and second images and then synthesizes the first and second images to generate the output image; a second correction portion which generates the output image by reducing noise in the first image without using the second image; and a correction control portion which executes selection processing to alternatively select one of the first and second correction portions based on a shooting condition set for shooting of the second image or based on the output data of the image sensing portion, and which makes the so selected correction portion generate the output image. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100182441 | Image Sensing Apparatus And Image Sensing Method - A distortion correction portion includes a distortion calculation portion which calculates a distortion based on a movement of an image sensing apparatus in the image sensing operation, a distortion adjustment value calculation portion which calculates a distortion adjustment value based on a generation situation of an input image, and a distortion correction processing portion which performs a distortion correction process for correcting the distortion in the input image based on the distortion and the distortion adjustment value. The distortion adjustment value calculation portion decreases the distortion adjustment value in accordance with a generation situation of the input image, so that the degree of the correction in the distortion correction process by the distortion correction processing portion is decreased. | 07-22-2010 |
