Abstract: An electric device includes a casing 31, and a label 7. The casing 31 accommodates electronic components. The label 7 is attached on the surface of the casing. A label attachment area 8 is arranged on the surface of the casing. The label 7 is attached onto the label attachment area 8. The label attachment area 8 is formed in a substantially flat surface, and has a plurality of grooves 9. The grooves 9 are uniformly distributed throughout the flat surface. The grooves intersect with each other at least at one point of each of the grooves. The adhesive strength can be kept by the flat surface arranged over substantially the whole of the label attachment area. Air can flow through the grooves uniformly distributed in the flat surface. Bulge or wrinkles of the label can be reduced which are produced by air bubbles.

Abstract: An error in a camera having angular velocity sensors is eliminated. A camera is placed on a rotating table and rotated, angular velocities are detected by angular velocity sensors, and a CZP chart is photographed. The motion of the camera is computed as a locus of motion of a point light source on an imaging plane from the outputs from the angular velocity sensors. The inclination of the locus motion is compared with the inclination of a zero-crossing line which has been obtained by subjecting the photographed image to Fourier transformation, to thus compute angles of relative inclination of the angular velocity sensors with respect to the image sensor.

Abstract: Apparatus includes a change operator for detecting change factor information which causes the deterioration in the image; an iterative processing operator which iterates a processing cycle comprising; a first processing step to apply a first calculation to a first image utilizing the change factor information to generate a second image, calculating difference data between the deteriorated image and the second image; a second processing step to apply a second calculation to the second image utilizing the difference data to generate a third image; and a replacing step to replace the first image with the third image; wherein the processing cycle further includes (a) detecting whether a coincidence exists between the sign of a first difference data and the sign of a second difference data or not, and (b) increasing an absolute value of the difference data utilized in the second processing step when the coincidence is detected in step (a).

Abstract: An image deteriorated by camera shake, or the like, is restored in a short period of time. A ?J computation section computes an evaluation value J from a deteriorated image G captured by means of photographing, a restored image F, and a PSF computed from an angular velocity detected by an angular velocity sensor, and further computes ?J. When the square of norm of ?J exceeds a threshold value, there is iterated processing for computing a new, restored image F by means of subtracting ?·?J from the restored image F. A convergence parameter computation section sets the convergence parameter ? as a value which first shows an increase and subsequently a decrease depending on the number of iterations, thereby increasing the speed of convergence and inhibiting divergence.

Abstract: In a system built from an imaging device and an output device, camera shake compensation is performed while processing load imposed on the imaging device is being lessened. An image processing system is built from a digital camera and a printer. Image data pertaining to a subject are recorded in a recording medium. Further, the amount of blurring of the digital camera is detected by means of a gyroscopic sensor, and PSF data are recorded in the recording medium. The printer is equipped with an image conversion section, a PSF conversion section, and an image restoration section, and a resolution of the image data and a resolution of the PSF data are converted, thereby restoring an original image.

Abstract: Inclinations of angular velocity sensors attached to a camera are detected, and outputs from the angular velocity sensors are calibrated. A camera is placed on a rotating table and rotated, angular velocities are detected by angular velocity sensors, and a CZP chart is photographed. The motion of the camera is expressed as a locus of motion of a point light source on an imaging plane from the outputs from the angular velocity sensors. The inclination of the locus motion is compared with the inclination of a zero-crossing line which has been obtained by subjecting the photographed image to Fourier transformation, to thus compute angles of relative inclination of the angular velocity sensors with respect to the image sensor.
