Patent number: 10834315Abstract: An imaging apparatus having no synchronization support function by a time code and to cut down a system cost, in synchronizing respective moving images in the case of outputting and displaying moving images input from a plurality of imaging apparatuses through network transmission. A vertical synchronization signal input from a particular imaging apparatus among a plurality of imaging apparatuses is used as a reference to select frame image data items from moving image data input from the plurality of imaging apparatuses, and the selected frame image data items are integrated into a single stream and sent. Even in a case where the plurality of imaging apparatuses captures videos asynchronously, it becomes possible to select, from the respective moving images, frame images with a small imaging timing difference on the basis of the vertical synchronization signal of the particular imaging apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Tetsuo Kaneko, Yasuhiro Iizuka, Kazuhiro Uchida, Shigeo Nakatsuka, Masashi Wakatsuki, Shinnosuke Usami

Patent number: 8237812Abstract: Imaging signal obtained through exposure for divided exposure times is A/D converted to digital imaging signal. Dark current component is subtracted from the digital imaging signal. The result of subtraction is accumulated and stored in a first memory. Next, exposure for divided exposure times is performed with the imaging device shielded from light. The obtained imaging signal is A/D converted to digital imaging signal. Dark current component is subtracted from the digital imaging signal. The result of subtraction is accumulated and stored sequentially in a second memory. The digital imaging signal stored in the second memory is subtracted from the digital imaging signal stored in the first memory. Then the result of subtraction is output. The word length allocated to one pixel in the first and second memories is longer than the word length of one A/D converted pixel.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Mitsuaki Kita, Nobuyuki Sato, Masashi Wakatsuki, Shinya Ishibashi, Jun Minakuti, Takahiro Koyama
