Patent number: 10944942Abstract: In a case where it is determined by a reliability determination section 501 that retention aberration information of an in-apparatus aberration information retention section 31 is unreliable, a control section 50 sets detection aberration information generated by performing aberration detection processing by a lens aberration detection processing section 32 as application aberration information for correcting an aberration of a captured image. In a case where it is determined that the retention aberration information is reliable, the control section 50 sets the retention aberration information as the application aberration information. Aberration information can be generated if necessary.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Masafumi Wakazono, Yoshimi Tsuboi, Tadashi Yamaguchi, Haruka Asai, Kazumi Fukuda

Patent number: 10181182Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method whereby a point spread function can be estimated with high precision. An exclusion unit excludes a repetitive pattern from a degraded image. An estimation unit estimates a point spread function by use of the degraded image from which the repetitive pattern has been excluded by the exclusion unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus or the like that estimates a point spread function (PSF) from a degraded image and that performs a blind deconvolution using the point spread function to generate a restored image from the degraded image.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventor: Kazumi Fukuda

Patent number: 5026972Abstract: An improved automatic toll receiving apparatus of the throwing-in type installed so as to allow a driver sitting in an automotive vehicle to pay a specified rate of toll, which apparatus includes a large hopper into which the driver can easily throw coins, a determining mechanism for determining whether the received coins are true coins or false coins and discriminating the kind of coins, a counting unit for counting a value of the coins which are determined as true coins, a returning unit for returning to the driver the coins which are determined as false coins, a temporary coin holder for temporarily holding the coins at shortest for a period of time until a processing for the preceding vehicle is completed, so as to allow him to visually confirm the coins through a transparent side wall of the temporary coin holder by the driver while they are arranged side by side, and an actuator for rotating the partition of the temporary coil holder at the bottom thereof 45 degrees as to enable a processing for the nexType: GrantFiled: January 26, 1990Date of Patent: June 25, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koichi Kanehara, Kazumi Fukuda, Kouichi Uenishi

Patent number: 4955532Abstract: An automatic toll collector for a toll road includes a cashbox receiving a toll thrown into a toll receiving inlet. Trigger holes, address holes and identification number holes are disposed on the bottom surface of the cashbox in a predetermined pattern in an insertion direction of the cashbox and are detected by proximity sensors disposed in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the cashbox to recognize the identification number of the cashbox. Since the identification number is recognized by the correspondence between data of the address holes and data of the identification number, the identification number can be recognized exactly even if the cashbox is retried to be inserted several times.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1989Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo K.K.Inventors: Koichi Kanehara, Kazumi Fukuda, Masashi Sato, Toshiaki Shimeno
