  • Patent number: 8416303
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus is provided which includes an imaging unit including a first photoelectrical conversion device and a second photoelectrical conversion device, wherein the first photoelectrical conversion device generates first image data by photoelectrically converting a visible light component transmitted from a subject, and wherein the second photoelectrical conversion device generates second image data by photoelectrically converting an infrared light component transmitted from the subject, a filter removing the visible light component but allowing the infrared light component to pass through, a subject image position identification unit for identifying, in the first image data, a predetermined subject image and a position of the predetermined subject image, an infrared light intensity detection unit for detecting an infrared light intensity transmitted in the second image data, and a living body detection unit for detecting a living body based on the position of the predetermined subject image and th

  • Publication number: 20120163701
    Abstract: An image processing device including an image input unit that inputs a two-dimensional image signal; a depth information output unit that inputs or generates depth information; a depth information reliability output unit that inputs or generates the reliability of depth information that the depth information output unit outputs; an image conversion unit that inputs an image signal, depth information, and depth information reliability, and generates and outputs a left eye image and a right eye image for realizing binocular stereoscopic vision; and an image output unit that outputs a left eye image and a right eye image, wherein the image conversion unit has a configuration of performing image generation of at least one of a left eye image and a right eye image and executes a conversion process in which the depth information and the depth information reliability are applied as conversion control data during the image conversion.

  • Patent number: 7995112
    Abstract: An image-processing apparatus includes an integration section to integrate an image signal in more than one unit of horizontal synchronization period; an interpolation section to carry out an interpolation on the basis of integration values output by the integration section in order to generate integration values corresponding to a predetermined number of sampling positions set in advance during at least one period of flickers appearing on a screen under a fluorescent lamp; a normalization section to normalize an integration value output by the interpolation section or to normalize a difference value between integration values output by the interpolation section as integration values for adjacent fields or frames, respectively; a frequency analysis section to extract a spectrum of normalized integration value or difference values output by the normalization section; and a flicker inference section to infer a flicker component from the spectrum extracted by the frequency analysis section.
