20090067683 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus determines, when white balance correction is executed on an image signal of a face area detected by face detection unit, based on a first white balance correction value obtained by detecting white pixels, whether the corrected image signal of the face area is present in a second color signal area around a first color signal area indicating a flesh color. When the corrected image signal of the face area is determined to be present in the second color signal area, the image processing apparatus calculates a second white balance correction value for correcting the image signal based on a relationship between the corrected image signal of the face area and the first color signal area. | 03-12-2009 |
20090167892 | WHITE BALANCE CONTROL DEVICE AND WHITE BALANCE CONTROL METHOD - A first white balance correction value is computed by detecting white pixels from an image. A determination is made as to whether or not a corrected image signal in the face region falls into a second color signal region surrounding a first color signal region that represents a skin color if white balance of the image signal in the face region is corrected based on the first white balance correction value. When it is determined that the corrected image signal of the face region falls into the second color signal region, a second white balance correction value for correcting the image signal is computed based on relationships between the corrected image signal of face region and the first color signal region. The computed second white balance correction value is modified based on information obtained when the image was captured. | 07-02-2009 |
20110187890 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus comprises an estimation unit which estimates, from color distribution information of an image obtained by capturing an object, a depth of water at which the captured object is positioned, and a white balance control unit which performs white balance control along an axis different from a black body radiation axis in accordance with the depth of water estimated by the estimation unit. | 08-04-2011 |
20110279704 | SENSITIVITY-SETTABLE IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS - An image capture device includes an image pickup unit including a plurality of pixels and photoelectrically converting an object image by the plurality of pixels; a white balance control unit for performing a white balance correction processing on pixel signals from the image pickup unit; and a sensitivity changing unit for changing the sensitivity of photographing, wherein the white balance control unit performs the white balance correction processing such that, as the sensitivity increases, a response to the light source is suppressed. | 11-17-2011 |
20130057725 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus determines whether a second light source is present with respect to image data, generates, when it is determined that the second light source is present, first image data based on a first white balance correction value and second image data based on a second white balance correction value, and combines the first image data and the second image data according to a determined combination ratio. | 03-07-2013 |
20140111419 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: a display comprising a screen; a detector configured to detect a first state of the screen when the screen is faced down; and a controller configured to initiate a security locked mode when the first state is detected. | 04-24-2014 |
20140335358 | C.I. PIGMENT YELLOW 74 (INSOLUBLE AZO PIGMENT), AND COLORING COMPOSITION USING SAME - A C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 as an insoluble azo pigment is provided. This C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 is crystalline particles. The ratio (26.6°/11.7°) of a diffraction intensity of a peak at 26.6° to a diffraction intensity of a peak at 11.7° in terms of Bragg angle (2θ±0.2°) as measured by powder X-ray diffraction using CuK α-radiation is 0.85 to 1.12, and the average primary particle size is 20 to 130 nm. The use of this C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 as a colorant in a coloring composition enables to provide the coloring composition with excellent dispersibility and good particle size stability and storage stability compared with conventional pigments. The use of this coloring composition enables the formation (recording) of images having excellent clarity and transparency of such high levels that have not been achievable by conventional technologies. | 11-13-2014 |
20150022467 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND CONTROL PROGRAM OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a touch panel display unit configured to receive inputs from a pen device and touch inputs, a reception unit configured to receive inclination information from the pen device. The electronic device further includes a calculation unit that calculates relative inclinations of the touch panel display unit in the electronic device and the pen device based on inclination information from the pen device. The electronic device further includes an instruction unit that issues an instruction providing a touch operation non-detection portion in a portion of a touch panel display unit based on the calculated relative inclinations. The touch operation non-detection portion corresponds to a portion of the display unit where user touch input is purposively not detected (or otherwise ignored) such that input related to operation (e.g., handwriting input) to the pen device may be input. | 01-22-2015 |
