  • Patent number: 11170527
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a camera (imaging unit), a sensor, a display (display unit), and a controller. The controller measures, on the basis of a captured image captured by the camera, size information related to at least a portion of a particular subject included in the captured image and causes an overlay image to be displayed on the display. The overlay image is yielded by overlaying both the size information and sensor information based on a detection result of the sensor on the captured image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10855910
    Abstract: An electronic device according to a first aspect comprises an imaging device and a processor. The imaging device has a predetermined imaging region, and is configured to capture images having different focal distances. The processor is configured to execute a first process of identifying two or more focus identification regions included in a first imaging region included in the predetermined imaging region by comparing the captured images in the first imaging region, and a second process of interpolating a focal distance of a middle region not belonging to the two or more focus identification regions in the first imaging region. The second process includes a process of interpolating the focal distance of the middle region based on a focal distance of an interpolation focus region that is located inside or outside the middle region and that is one of the two or more focus identification regions.

  • Patent number: 10542161
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a camera, a location sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller acquires a database including name information of tangible objects, first location information indicating locations of the tangible objects, and first feature point information related to feature points of the tangible objects. The controller generates image recognition information on the basis of a captured image captured by the camera, the image recognition information including distance information indicating a distance from the electronic device to a particular subject and second feature point information related to feature points of the particular subject. The controller identifies a name of the particular subject on the basis of the image recognition information, the database, and second location information indicating a location of the electronic device acquired by the location sensor.

  • Patent number: 10459315
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus that effectively utilizes information detected by a sensor is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a camera, a sensor, a memory, a display, and a processor. The at least one processor causes the display to display a preview image in which dynamic sensor information acquired by the sensor is overlaid on a captured image captured by the camera. The at least one processor stores the preview image in which the dynamic sensor information is overlaid on the captured image as an overlay still image in the memory.
