20080205306 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - There is provided a communication apparatus that includes: a data communication unit which performs half-duplex communication of video frame data with an external device on a video frame-by-video frame basis, a switching unit which switches a transmission direction in which the data communication unit transmits the video frame data, a first control unit which controls the data communication unit to include a start command in the video frame data and send the video frame data, as well as controls the switching unit to switch the transmission direction in response to completion of the sending of the video frame data that includes the start command, and a second control unit which controls the switching unit to switch the transmission direction in response to completion of the reception of the video frame data that includes the start command. | 08-28-2008 |
20090244306 | IMAGE RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS - An image recording and reproducing apparatus that records and reproduces image data shot at a frame rate higher than a normal reproduction rate employed during reproduction of a moving image can generate a still image by attaching still image recording information to at least one frame image included in the recorded image data and combining a plurality of frame images of the recorded image data in accordance with the still image recording information. | 10-01-2009 |
20100215348 | REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND REPRODUCING METHOD - To more flexibly reproduce moving image data obtained by capturing a plurality of frames within the period of a single frame of display output while changing the exposure condition. For example, moving image data, which has been obtained by capturing a plurality of frames within the period of a single frame of display output while changing the exposure condition, is stored in a recording portion. When the moving image data is reproduced from the recording portion, a single frame is selected and output by a reproduced frame selecting portion for each period of a single frame of display output. If a user operation instructing to make the displayed image darker, in response to this user operation, a frame having an exposure condition of underexposure is selected and output from the moving image data to be reproduced from the recording portion for each period of a single frame of display output. | 08-26-2010 |
20100329559 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An image processing apparatus according to the present invention, comprises a histogram creation unit creates a histogram from an input image, a detection unit detects a gradation level of interest from the histogram, a gradation correction parameter generation unit generates a gradation correction parameter to improve a gradation characteristic in a gradation range around the gradation level of interest, and a correction unit corrects the gradation of the image using the gradation correction parameter, wherein the detection unit detects, as the gradation level of interest, a gradation level of which frequency is a peak value equal to or more than a predetermined threshold, and which has variation width of frequencies in a predetermined range including this gradation level to be smaller than a predetermined width in the histogram. | 12-30-2010 |
20110157209 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus according to the present invention, comprises:
