| 20080317338 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processing apparatus that suppresses occurrences of color conversions not intended by the user. Information on affected regions for individual color conversion processes applied to an image is stored in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus determines whether or not the affected region of a color conversion process that the user is attempting to apply overlap an affected region of a color conversion process that has already been applied, and if so, informs the user by, for example, displaying the affected regions on a chromaticity diagram. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100026875 | INFORMATION REGISTRATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION REGISTRATION METHOD, REGISTRATION APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - A registration apparatus obtains, from an image pickup apparatus, identification information set in a lens apparatus that is attached to the image pickup apparatus. The registration apparatus pre-stores lens information including information that identifies the models of lens apparatuses and corresponding correction information, such that the lens information can be referenced by identification information. The registration apparatus displays a list of the stored lens apparatus models in a confirmation window such that the models of lens apparatuses corresponding to obtained identification information can be distinguished from the models of other lens apparatuses. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20110128406 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS CAPABLE OF CORRECTING IMAGE QUALITY DEGRADATION DUE TO OPTICAL MEMBER, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND NONVOLATILE STORAGE MEDIUM - An image pickup apparatus capable of forming a corrected image which does not give a feeling of wrongness to a user. In the apparatus, an image pickup element photoelectrically converts an optical image to output the same as image data. A target correction value is calculated for correcting image quality degradation due to a lens unit, based on lens characteristic information and a status of the lens unit. A system controller sets a rate of change to stepwise make the current correction value closer to the target correction value, and repeatedly calculates the correction value according to the target correction value and the rate of change. The image data is corrected based on the repeatedly calculated correction value. The rate of change is changed depending on the relationship between a preceding value of the correction value calculated in the past and the target correction value. | 06-02-2011 |

The data buffer is capable of holding N bits of data. The generating unit generates a syndrome and parity on the basis of the data output from the data buffer. The data buffer outputs n bits in the N bits to a generating unit, while shifting the data bit by bit at intervals of k cycles of a clock. The n bits in the N bits are combination of bits based on a determinant complying with the hamming code. The decoding unit identifies a bit position of an error in the data held in the data buffer using the syndrome held in the syndrome holding unit and causes the data buffer to correct the error. | 12-24-2009 |
