  • Patent number: 11388387
    Abstract: An imaging system includes first and second light source devices configured to irradiate a subject with lights having different wavelength bands, first and second imaging devices configured to image the subject, and first and second video processing devices configured to process an imaged video of the subject imaged by either of the corresponding imaging devices and to output the processed video to an output unit. The first and second light source devices alternately perform lighting in synchronization with a frame period of the imaged video or an integer multiple thereof based on a genlock signal. The first imaging device performs imaging in synchronization with the lighting of each of the first and second light source devices. The second imaging device performs imaging in synchronization with the lighting of each of the first and second light source devices.

  • Patent number: 11051004
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus is connected to a camera head capable of imaging a left eye image and a right eye image having parallax on one screen based on light at a target site incident on an optical instrument. The image processing apparatus includes: a deriver that derives parameters of signal processing for the left eye image and the right eye image which are imaged by the camera head in accordance with switching from a 2D mode to a 3D mode; an image processor that performs the signal processing of the left eye image and the right eye image which are imaged by the camera head, based on the derived parameters; and an output controller that outputs the left eye image and the right eye image to which the signal processing is performed to a monitor.

  • Patent number: 11025839
    Abstract: There is provided a camera apparatus including: a capturing unit that includes a lens to which light, from a capturing area including IR light and visible light is incident, and that performs capturing based on the light; an IR lighting unit that irradiates the capturing area with IR light; and a controller that generates an instruction to change a focal position of the lens and an instruction to adjust a quantity of the IR light, in which the controller calculates an IR light ratio which indicates a ratio of the quantity of the IR light to the light included in a captured image of the capturing area, and selects and performs any one of a first focusing processing to change the focal position of the lens corresponding to the IR light, a second focusing processing to change the focal position of the lens corresponding to the visible light, and an IR light quantity adjustment determination processing to determine whether or not to adjust the quantity of the IR light, based on the IR light ratio.

  • Patent number: 10950104
    Abstract: A monitoring camera having artificial intelligence includes an imaging unit, a communication unit that receives a parameter relating to a detection target from a terminal device, and a processing unit that constructs the artificial intelligence based on the parameter, and uses the constructed artificial intelligence to detect the detection target from an image captured by the imaging unit.
