Patent number: 11979545Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes an image obtaining unit and a display control unit. The image obtaining unit obtains a plurality of first divided images obtained by dividing a first image showing a first location along a second direction substantially perpendicular to a first direction, and a plurality of second divided images obtained by dividing a second image showing a second location along the second direction. The display control unit arranges and simultaneously displays the plurality of first divided images and the plurality of second divided images along the first direction on a display device of a user at a third location.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Mari Saito, Kenji Sugihara

Patent number: 8041148Abstract: An image processing program causes a computer to execute the following steps. A first step reads data of a first image and data of a second image which are generated by imaging a common object under natural light and have different contents of specular reflection components. A second step generates an output image which gives a different visual impression of the object than the first image and the second image, based on difference data of the specular reflection components extracted from the first image and the second image.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2008Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventor: Mari Sugihara

Patent number: 7738012Abstract: An imaging device according to the present invention includes a registration unit, an imaging unit, a searching unit, and a color adjustment unit. The registration unit registers a reference subject. The imaging unit shoots a subject and outputs image data. The searching unit searches a specific area matching with the reference subject from an image area of the image data. The color adjustment unit performs color adjustment such that color information of the specific area approximates to the color information of the registered reference subject.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Mari Sugihara, Tetsuo In
