  • Publication number: 20210176390
    Abstract: [Object] To suppress a flicker in imaging at a high-speed frame rate. [Solution] An image processor according to the present disclosure includes a first correction section that calculates a luminance average value of an image and corrects a luminance of the image on a basis of a periodic change in the luminance average value; and a second correction section that acquires color information on the image and corrects the color information on a basis of a periodic change in the color information. This configuration makes it possible to suppress a flicker in imaging at a high-speed frame rate.

  • Publication number: 20210029290
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging device and an apparatus that can obtain an appropriate captured image that allows recognition of an object even when a flicker phenomenon is occurring. Provided is an imaging device including a detection unit that detects a blinking object or an object lit by a blinking illuminator, a tracking unit that performs tracking on the detected object, an estimation unit that estimates period information of the blinking, on the basis of a plurality of imaging frames of the tracked object, and a signal generation unit that generates a timing signal for capturing the object, on the basis of the estimation result.

  • Patent number: 10771711
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging apparatus that includes a first imaging section that sequentially shoots a plurality of images including a first image, a second imaging section that shoots at least one image including a second image, a signal processor that synthesizes the plurality of images shot by the first imaging section, a characteristic amount calculator that calculates a characteristic amount of a subject based on the first image and the second image, and an exposure amount controller that controls exposure amounts of the first imaging section and the second imaging section to reduce a difference between the exposure amount of the first image and the exposure amount of the second image.

  • Patent number: 8842647
    Abstract: A wireless communication terminal includes: a communication timing arbitration section adapted to control the allocation of first and second communication protection periods. The communication timing arbitration section exercises control so that the first and second wireless communication terminals use the same frequency band before the first wireless communication terminal enters an active communication period, and also exercises control so that a packet containing a network allocation vector is transmitted according to the second communication scheme, the network allocation vector being adapted to define the communication protection period for the first wireless communication terminal.
