  • Publication number: 20110122292
    Abstract: An imaging device which is capable of preparing metadata quickly and readily in imaging moving picture, having a storage unit prestoring keywords and detection methods detecting objects corresponding to respective keywords, an imaging unit repetitively imaging a field generating the moving picture composed of frame images, a detecting unit detecting the objects from the frame images among the moving picture generated by the imaging, concurrently with the imaging by the imaging unit according to the detection methods for respective keywords, an image information preparing unit preparing image information based on results of the detecting unit, the image information containing the keywords corresponding to the detected objects and information indicating time periods when the objects corresponding to keywords existed in the field; and an image recording unit recording the moving picture generated by the imaging unit and the image information prepared by the image information preparing unit associating with each

  • Publication number: 20080095449
    Abstract: An imaging device comprises a storage section for storing therein keywords and a detecting method of detecting an object corresponding to each keyword, an imaging section for imaging the field repetitively and creating a moving picture composed of images of frames, a detecting section for detecting an object from the images of frames out of the moving picture created by the imaging according to the detecting method for each keyword simultaneously with the imaging by the imaging section, and image information creating section for creating image information including the keyword corresponding to the detected object and information representing the period of time during which the object corresponding to the keyword is present in the field depending on the results of the detection by the detecting section, and an image recording section for recording the moving picture created by the imaging section and the image information created by the image information creating section after associating the moving picture wi

  • Patent number: 5710872
    Abstract: A color image recording device that prevents extreme changes in color at the boundary of the selected color when the hue, value, and chroma are color adjusted selectively but not as a whole. In addition, creating color data for printing does not require large processing time even when a large image is printed. The color image recording device forms color data for printing by adjusting the color of an RGB color decomposition signal of an input device such as a color scanner, or RGB image data from a computer. The color image recording device prints after partially and selectively adjusting color. Furthermore, when converting the RGB data to data unique to the color image printing device, the color image recording device conducts coordinate conversion in the uniform color space and computes a matrix coefficient using the set values of each correction range. Each of the correction amounts of the hue, value, and chroma are set by the operator and the printing characteristic data.
