  • Patent number: 7142725
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus, in which an object image focused by a lens is split into a plurality of images by means of a light splitting section. These images are converted into image data items by a plurality of imaging devices which are arranged with their imaging area overlapping in part. The image data items are stored temporarily in an image storing section. A displacement detecting section detects displacement coefficients (rotation angle R and parallel displacement S) from the image signals representing the mutual overlap region of two images which are to be combined and which are represented by two image data items read from the image storing section. The position of any specified pixel of the image displayed is identified by the pixel signal generated by the corresponding pixel of any imaging device.

  • Patent number: 5719886
    Abstract: A reading section optically reads a code from a recording medium having a portion on which multimedia information including at least one of audio information, video information, and digital code data is recorded as an optically readable code. A plurality of processing sections sequentially process the code read by the reading section and output the processed code as the original multimedia information. An operation switch designates the start of reading of the code. A control section causes one or a plurality of the plurality of processing sections to terminate a processing operation for a code which has been read by the time the operation switch is operated, and executes processing for data of the processed code in correspondence with another processing section on a subsequent stage, on the basis of the operation of the operation switch after the start of reading is designated by the operation switch.
