  • Publication number: 20240171874
    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion device includes pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit for generating charge by photoelectric conversion, first to fourth charge holding portions configured to be transferred charge from the photoelectric conversion unit, and an output unit for outputting a signal corresponding to charge transferred from one of the first to fourth charge holding portions, and a control circuit for controlling the plurality of pixels. The control circuit performs, during one frame, transferring charge in the photoelectric conversion unit to the first or second charge holding portion a plural times for each of the first and second charge holding portions in each of the pixels at the same time, and performs, during the one frame, reading out from each pixel a signal corresponding to charge in the third charge holding portion and a signal corresponding to charge in the fourth charge holding portion.

  • Publication number: 20240147080
    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, an image signal of a plurality of polarized lights is input, for each set of image signals corresponding to the polarized lights, a maximum value of polarization intensities of polarization components of the image signals and a polarization angle at which the maximum value of the polarization intensities is obtained are found, and a target area to which polarization reduction is to be applied is found based on the image signal and a statistical area is set in the target area. Representative intensity and angle which are modes of the polarization intensities and angles of the sets included in the statistical area are found, and first correction processing for correcting each image signal of the sets included in the target area is performed using the representative intensity and angle according to the polarization angle of the each image signal.

  • Publication number: 20240038149
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises one or more processors and one or more memories containing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to function as a specification unit configured to, based on a parameter of an image capturing unit, specify a region captured by the image capturing unit in a display screen in which display panels are arrayed, and a correction unit configured to, based on a direction from a pixel in the region to the image capturing unit, obtain a correction amount of a luminance value of the pixel, and based on information for correcting an individual difference regarding a luminance of a display panel, correct the correction amount.

  • Publication number: 20230262623
    Abstract: A node apparatus configured to be connected with a sensor includes a communication portion and a control portion. The communication portion is configured to communicate with a gateway apparatus. The control portion is configured to execute a first task in which the control portion transmits data obtained from the sensor, to the gateway apparatus by using the communication portion, and a second task in which the control portion transmits information on synchronization with the gateway apparatus, to the gateway apparatus by using the communication portion at a timing different from a timing at which the control portion executes the first task.

  • Publication number: 20200216723
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive composition and an adhesive sheet that are stably dissolved or dispersed in a solvent or a dispersion medium having low polarity, have high total light transmittance and have high-function antistatic properties. An adhesive composition including (A) an adhesive polymer comprising repeated structures which consist of one or more kinds of (meth)acryl-based, urethane-based, silicone-based and polyolefin-based unit structures, (B) a conductive polymer complex including a conjugated polymer, and a polyanion having a block copolymer structure, and (C) a nonaqueous solvent or dispersion medium, in which the conductive polymer complex is contained by 0.1 parts by mass or higher and lower than 10 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the adhesive polymer.
