20080235010 | Reproducing Apparatus - Disclosed is a reproducing apparatus comprising: a reproduction section to reproduce reproduction data comprising sound data and/or image data; a selection section to calculate evaluation values between a link source set for the reproduction data and each of a plurality of link destinations corresponding to the link source by a predetermined arithmetic expression based on link information of the plurality of link destinations, and to select a link destination having a highest evaluation among the evaluation values out of the plurality of link destinations; and a reproduction control section to move a reproduction point of the reproduction data reproduced by the reproduction section to a position corresponding to the link destination by linking the link source with the link destination when the reproduction point reaches a given point with respect to a position corresponding to the link source, and to instruct the reproduction section to reproduce the reproduction data. | 09-25-2008 |
20080240508 | Motion Detection Imaging Device - A motion detection imaging device comprises: plural optical lenses for collecting light from an object so as to form plural single-eye images seen from different viewpoints; a solid-state imaging element for capturing the plural single-eye images formed through the plural optical lenses; a rolling shutter for reading out the plural single-eye images from the solid-state imaging element along a read-out direction; and a microprocessor for detecting movement of the object by comparing the plural single-eye images read out from the solid-state imaging element. The plural optical lenses are arranged so that the positions of the plural single-eye images formed on the solid-state imaging element are displaced from each other by a predetermined distance in the read-out direction, and so that the respective single-eye images formed on the solid-state imaging element partially overlap each other in the read-out direction. | 10-02-2008 |
20080247638 | Three-Dimensional Object Imaging Device - A three-dimensional object imaging device comprises a compound-eye imaging unit and an image reconstructing unit for reconstructing an image of a three-dimensional object based on multiple unit images captured by the imaging unit. Based on the unit images obtained by the imaging unit, the image reconstructing unit calculates a distance (hereafter “pixel distance”) between the object and the imaging unit for each pixel forming the unit images, and rearranges the unit images pixel-by-pixel on a plane at the pixel distance to create a reconstructed image. Preferably, the image reconstructing unit sums a high-frequency component reconstructed image created from the multiple unit images with a lower noise low-frequency component unit image selected from low-frequency component unit images created from the multiple unit images so as to form a reconstructed image of the three-dimensional object. This makes it possible to obtain a reconstructed image with high definition easily by a simple process. | 10-09-2008 |
20080279528 | Reproducing Apparatus - Disclosed is a reproducing apparatus to reproduce reproduction data at a speed different from a speed at a time of recording of the reproduction data, the recording apparatus including: a storage section to store the reproduction data; a primary reproducing plan producing section to produce a primary reproducing plan ranging from present time to future, according to the reproduction speed different from the speed at the time of recoding the reproduction data; and a secondary reproducing plan producing section to modify to the primary reproducing plan by solving an optimization problem based on the primary reproducing plan produced by the primary reproducing plan producing section, so as to produce a secondary reproducing plan ranging from the present time to the future. | 11-13-2008 |
20090021837 | Compound-Eye Imaging Device - A compound-eye imaging device comprises nine optical lenses arranged in a matrix array of three rows and three columns, and a solid-state imaging element for capturing unit images formed by the optical lenses. A stray light blocking member having a rectangular-shaped window is provided on the capture zone side of the optical lenses, eliminating the need to provide, between the solid-state imaging element and the optical lenses, walls by which light propagation paths of lights emitted from the optical lenses are partitioned from each other. The stray light blocking member blocks incident lights in a range outside each effective incident view angle range of each optical lens. This prevents the light entering each optical lens to form a unit image from interfering with other unit images formed by adjacent optical lenses, thereby obtaining a good quality image, without complicating the manufacturing process and increasing the cost thereof | 01-22-2009 |
20090060281 | Object Distance Deriving Device - An object distance deriving device comprises a compound-eye imaging unit for capturing n unit images and a microprocessor for calculating an object distance of an object from the imaging unit based on the unit images.

20090195639 | Panoramic Imaging Device - A panoramic imaging device comprises: a photodetector array; a lens array having, on one plane, a center lens for receiving light in a front range of 36° to form a central unit image on the photodetector array, and left and right side lenses for receiving lights in left and right ranges each of 72° in capture angle of 180°; and four prisms in two pairs placed facing the side lenses. The two pairs of left and right prisms (more inclined and less inclined pairs) collect lights in divided two pairs of left and right ranges each of 36° in the 72° range (pairs closer to, and farther from, the front range), respectively, to form four side unit images on the photodetector array which are combined with the central unit image to reproduce a panoramic image without using wide-angle lenses or complex image correction process. | 08-06-2009 |
20090295906 | Car Side-View Camera - A car side-view camera has, on the side of a car, a side turn lamp housing containing a compound-eye imaging device and a near-infrared lamp forming the camera. The compound-eye imaging device has 6 imaging units in 2 rows 3 columns. Three imaging units in one row are provided with an infrared cut filter. The imaging units in left and right columns are provided with rectangular prisms to shift light entrance zones left and right. The microprocessor sets the near-infrared lamp in off-state for image capture during the day to combine 3 unit images by the imaging units with the infrared cut filter into a panoramic image, and switches the near-infrared lamp to on-state for image capture at night to combine 3 unit images by the imaging units without the infrared cut filter into a panoramic image. This camera can stably obtain a clear image regardless of day or night. | 12-03-2009 |
20100053600 | Optical Condition Design Method for a Compound-Eye Imaging Device - An imaginary object plane is set in front of an imaging device body (plane setting step). A part of optical conditions of optical lenses are changed as variables, and positions of points (pixel observation points) on the imaginary object plane where lights coming from pixels of a solid-state imaging element and back-projected through the optical lenses are calculated (pixel observation point calculating step). The dispersion in position of the calculated pixel observation points is evaluated (evaluating step). Finally, a set of values of the variables giving maximum evaluated dispersion of the calculated pixel observation points is determined as optimum optical condition of the optical lenses (condition determining step). This reduces the number of pixels which image the same portions of the target object, making it possible to reduce portions of the same image information in multiple unit images, and to stably obtain a reconstructed image having a high definition. | 03-04-2010 |

The distance calculation unit: sets temporary distances z (S | 04-29-2010 |
