  • Publication number: 20160077354
    Abstract: A first correction signal creation unit 78 splits an angular velocity signal of an ultra low-low frequency band from an angular velocity signal of an X-axis angular velocity sensor 36 and outputs a first correction signal amplified based on signal output characteristics of the angular velocity sensor. A second correction signal creation unit 79 splits an angular velocity signal of a low-high frequency band from the angular velocity signal and outputs a second correction signal amplified based on the signal output characteristics of the angular velocity sensor. An addition computation unit 98 creates a composite correction signal in which the first correction signal and the second correction signal are composed, and a drive computation unit 99 creates a drive signal based on the composite correction signal. A driver 74 drives the X-axis actuator 38 based on the drive signal, displaces the correction optical element, and corrects shake of an image.

  • Publication number: 20150135171
    Abstract: A storage unit stores source code including loop processing that is written with an array referenced by an index, a loop variable, and a parameter. A computing unit generates a conditional expression indicating that the index of the array satisfies a predetermined condition, using the loop variable and the parameter. The computing unit generates determination information on the parameter, by eliminating the loop variable from the conditional expression through formula manipulation. Then, the computing unit generates object code corresponding to the source code in accordance with the determination information.
