  • Patent number: 10848676
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to continue optical image stabilization even in the case where a correcting lens is positioned near a mechanical end. An optical image stabilization module used to control a camera module adjusts the position of a correcting lens and the like used for optical image stabilization while executing the optical image stabilization during an exposure period. An image distortion accompanying the position adjustment of the correcting lens can be corrected by, for example, an electronic image stabilization module.

  • Patent number: 10348969
    Abstract: A camera module detects a camera shake in an optical axis in an optical system based on a detection result by a vibration detecting sensor. To correct a part amount of a camera shake, the module controls an actuator in a manner that a correction lens shifts in a plane vertical to the optical axis based on an amount of optical image stabilization. To correct a left amount of the camera shake, the module transmits data representing the correction left amount of the camera shake to an image processing module. The image processing module receives the data representing the correction left amount of the camera shake, and changes an effective region of picked-up image data included in frame data, based on an amount of electronic image stabilization in accordance with the correction left amount.

  • Publication number: 20180153412
    Abstract: A laser light source transmits laser light to a tip of an interventional instrument such as a needle via an optical fiber. The laser light is absorbed at the distal tip of the instrument and generates a photoacoustic signal. The laser light source is configured to receive a trigger signal from an ultrasound machine when a laser pulse is to be produced. The light source signals the ultrasound machine when an optical connector is connected to the laser light source to automatically begin a needle tip (NTV) visualization mode. If the optical connector is removed from the laser light source, the laser light source stops producing laser light pulses.
