Abstract: An image processing system can obtain images exhibiting colors desired by a user, while minimizing his/her efforts required for edit operations. The image processing system includes an imaging device and an information-processing device. The information-processing device includes: an input unit inputting, from the exterior, information indicative of a type of color transformation processing desired by the user; a parameter-creating unit that refers to the input information to create at least one parameter necessary for providing the color transformation processing to image data; and a transmitting unit transmitting information of the created parameter to the exterior. The imaging device includes: a receiving unit receiving the information of the parameter from the exterior; a storage unit storing the received information of the parameter; and a setting unit that refers to the information stored in the storage unit to perform a setting necessary for the color transformation processing using the parameter.

Abstract: In a serial bus network, an environment is provided, in which the serial bus is divided to two local buses and a specific terminal connected to one of the local buses can reliably occupy other terminals connected to the other local bus without influence on the terminals connected to the local buses. A specific terminal is connected to a local bus 101, to which an inner portal 3 is connected, and an ID information thereof is preliminarily recorded in a ROM 8. After a power source is turned on, the specific terminal connected to the side of the inner portal 3 is detected according to the ID information from the ROM 8. An ID information of all of nodes connected to a local bus 104, to which an outer portal 4 is connected, is read out and stored in a control portion 5. A bus reset is generated on the local bus 101. In order to give a connection information of the local bus 104, a self-ID packet is generated by the control portion 5 and transmits it through a dedicated PHY 6.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing unit capable of differentiating two images with a difference which the user expects to see, an imaging processing method thereof, and an image processing program thereof. The image processing unit of the present invention includes: a histogram creation unit for creating a color histogram of each image obtained by an imaging sensor; a correlation calculation unit for comparing the color histogram of a processing object image to be subjected to predetermined processing with the color histogram of a comparison object image obtained prior to the processing object image, to calculate the color correlation between these images; and a decision unit for deciding a parameter to be used for the predetermined processing according to the calculated correlation.

Abstract: An image-capturing device includes: an image-capturing element that captures a subject image passing through a photographic lens and outputs an image-capturing signal; a chromaticity detection device that detects a chromaticity of the subject; a light source estimating device that estimates a type of light source illuminating the subject based upon the chromaticity detected by the chromaticity detection device; a gain calculating device that calculates a gain by using color temperature information corresponding to the light source type estimated by the light source estimating device; and a gain adjustment device that performs a gain adjustment by multiplying the image-capturing signal output by the image-capturing element by the gain calculated by the gain calculating device.
