  • Publication number: 20230319407
    Abstract: An image processing device of an embodiment includes a control unit that generates a composite image obtained by combining a first image captured in a first exposure time and having first resolution and a second image that is an image corresponding to a partial region of the first image and is captured in a second exposure time shorter than the first exposure time and having second resolution higher than the first resolution, the first image and the second image being input from an image sensor, and outputs the composite image to a display device.

  • Patent number: 11095840
    Abstract: A control apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a voltage control unit. The acquisition unit acquires imaging-related information relating to imaging to be executed by an imaging apparatus including a plurality of pixel units that converts incident light into charges and accumulate the charges. The voltage control unit controls, on the basis of the acquired imaging-related information, a drive voltage for driving each of the plurality of pixel units.

  • Patent number: 7394487
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention can provide an image data reducing device, a micro computer, and an electronic apparatus that can reduce image data without causing the increase in circuit scale and over spec. The image data reducing device can include a reduced image data generating circuit to which each component of YUV is input in series and that outputs YUV image data after reduced, and an output control signal generating circuit that generates an output control signal for controlling whether each component of YUV is output or not. The reduced image data generating circuit can include a switching circuit that controls the presence of output for each component of image data input in series based on the output control signal.
