20140368630 | CAMERA, CAMERA SYSTEM, AND SELF-DIAGNOSIS METHOD - A camera that includes a capture unit, a calculation unit, an object information acquisition unit, and an evaluation unit. The capture unit generates an image by capturing an area in which an evaluation-use object is present. The calculation unit analyzes the image, and thereby detects the evaluation-use object in the image and calculates meaningful information from the evaluation-use object in the image. The object information acquisition unit acquires and stores object information that is meaningful to a user and derived from the evaluation-use object. The evaluation unit performs an evaluation that includes comparing the meaningful information and the object information, and thereby calculating a degree of matching between the meaningful information and the object information, the evaluation determining whether or not a desired result is obtained from the image. | 12-18-2014 |
