Patents by Inventor AYUMI TADANO

AYUMI TADANO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Imaging device and imaging method
    Patent number: 11632500
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program that make it possible to implement an appropriate auto white balance (AWB) lock desired by a user. As a shutter button setting for applying the AWB lock, any one of Shutter Halfway Down, Continuous Shooting, or Off can be select and set. Furthermore, a setting is configured in which an AWBL button is assigned to a custom button so that the AEB lock can be applied by either a hold operation or a toggle operation. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2023
    Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATION
    Inventors: Ayumi Tadano, Osamu Izuta, Hiroto Ishikawa

  • Image processing apparatus and image processing method
    Patent number: 11190745
    Abstract: A controlling value is calculated using a first white balance gain and a second white balance gain. Using the calculated controlling value, an image processing parameter is then modulated. Using this modulated image processing parameter, image data processing is performed, and storage, transmission, and the like of the image processing parameter are performed. This can realize advanced image processing reflective of the white balance gain.
