  • Patent number: 11979522
    Abstract: An image processing system capable of preventing resubmission of a scanned image from being required due to an undesired object which obstructs visibility. The image processing system includes a scanned image generation unit configured to read an original and generate a scanned image of the read original, and submits an image to a management server. A continuous pixel area which includes a plurality of pixels whose pixel values are higher than a predetermined density threshold value and has an area size equal to or larger than a predetermined value is identified from a scanned image. Whether or not the identified continuous pixel area is an area of an undesired object which obstructs visibility is determined. A continuous pixel area determined as the area of an undesired object is notified to a user before the scanned image is submitted to the management server.

  • Publication number: 20240147064
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus controls a focus position of an optical system by switching between a first mode where the focus position is moved alternately to first and second positions to determine an in-focus direction and a second mode where the focus position is moved in the in-focus direction. The apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures an image formed by the optical system, a detection unit that detects a vibration amount of the apparatus, a determination unit that determines, based on the vibration amount, a correction amount for reducing blurring, a correction unit that corrects the blurring by clipping a part of the image based on the correction amount, and a control unit that controls switching to the second mode if the in-focus direction is the same a predetermined number of times or more in succession. The predetermined number is changed based on the correction amount or the vibration amount.

  • Publication number: 20240080575
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor that captures an image of an object formed by an imaging optical system, at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute noise reduction processing on a first image captured by the image sensor based on a plurality of second images, acquire an evaluation value indicating contrast of the first image on which the noise reduction processing has been executed, and control movement of a focus position of the imaging optical system based on the evaluation value. The movement is controlled so that the movement is stopped for a time period having a length corresponding to an intensity of the noise reduction processing in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied.
