  • Patent number: 10573681
    Abstract: An imaging device includes: an imaging element including a photoelectric conversion member that generates charge due to an internal photoelectric effect when receiving light at a voltage in a first predetermined range, and generates no charge due to the internal photoelectric effect when receiving light at a voltage in a second predetermined range, and a plurality of pixel circuits that accumulate, in each pixel, the charge generated by the photoelectric conversion member, the imaging element outputting a frame image based on an amount of charge accumulated in the plurality of pixel circuits; a voltage controller that controls a voltage to be applied to the photoelectric conversion member; and a corrector that performs correction on at least a part of one or more frame images output from the imaging element to reduce dark current signal components.

  • Patent number: 9502072
    Abstract: The present disclosure aims to achieve a more effective image in slow motion. An imaging apparatus of the present disclosure includes an image sensor that outputs image data at a first frame rate and an image processor. The image processor: (i) generates motion image data having a second frame rate that is 1/N of the first frame rate, based on the image data having the first frame rate output from the image sensor, for frames not provided with a given instruction, (ii) generates motion image data having the first frame rate based on the image data having the first frame rate output from the image sensor, for frames provided with a given instruction and (iii) processes the generated motion image data having the first frame rate and the generated motion image data having the second frame rate as a series of motion image data.
