Patent number: 7787018Abstract: An amplification signal of a difference signal between a sensor signal and an offset signal to be variably set is converted into a digital signal. The sensor signal is in accordance with shake of an imaging device and outputted from a sensor. The first digital signal is obtained while a conversion ratio between the difference signal and the digital signal is set to a first conversion ratio. The second digital signal is obtained while the conversion ratio is set to a second conversion ratio. In relation to a certain difference signal, the value of the second digital signal is smaller than that of the first signal. The offset signal is updated based on the second digital signal. The shake information is generated based on the first digital signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Haruo Hatanaka, Shinpei Fukumoto, Hideto Fujita, Haruhiko Murata

Publication number: 20090263007Abstract: If horizontal viewpoint quantity information Nx and vertical viewpoint quantity information Ny are predetermined quantities, a value of the aspect ratio of the output image data to be finally output satisfies a predetermined condition, and a 3D identification mark is contained in the output image data, then an image recording device adds a first extension as general-purpose 3D image data which can also be used in a conventional device and records it. Accordingly, when 3D image data is output (displayed and printed) in a conventional device, image data which can be used as 3D image data (which can be viewed as a stereoscopic image) can be output as general-purpose image data while image data which cannot be used as 3D image data in the conventional device is not output as image data. This prevents a confusion of general users.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2006Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicants: Sharp Kabushiki Kaisha, Olympus Imaging Corp., SANYO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryuji Kitaura, Hideaki Yoshida, Ken Mashitani, Haruhiko Murata, Hidehiko Sekizawa
