Patent number: 11483481Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic instrument capable of downsizing an electronic instrument having a function of imaging at least a part of a user. In an electronic instrument worn or used by a user, the electronic instrument includes an imaging unit arranged at a position where at least a part of the user wearing or using the electronic instrument is capturable, the imaging unit including two or more pixel output units that each receive incident light from a subject incident not via either an imaging lens or a pinhole and output one detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated depending on an incident angle of the incident light. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Tokuse, Yoshitaka Miyatani, Noriaki Kozuka

Patent number: 11460666Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus and method, and an image processing apparatus and method that make it possible to expand a range of a subject that can be imaged. A subject is imaged by an imaging element including a plurality of pixel output units that receives incident light from the subject entering without passing through either an imaging lens or a pinhole and entering through an optical system that is not an imaging lens and has a negative power, and each outputs one detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated by an incident angle of the incident light. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an imaging apparatus, an image processing apparatus, an information processing apparatus, an electronic device, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Noriaki Kozuka, Yoshitaka Miyatani

Patent number: 11368609Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic instrument capable of downsizing an electronic instrument having a function of imaging surroundings of a user. In an electronic instrument worn or used by a user, the electronic instrument includes an imaging unit arranged at a position where surroundings of the user wearing or using the electronic instrument is capturable, the imaging unit including a plurality of pixel output units that each receive incident light from a subject incident not via either an imaging lens or a pinhole and output one detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated depending on an incident angle of the incident light. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Tokuse, Yoshitaka Miyatani, Noriaki Kozuka

Patent number: 11350053Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging device, a method thereof, and an imaging element capable of controlling resolution of a detection image. Provided is a plurality of pixel output units that receives incident light incident without intervention of either an imaging lens or a pinhole and each outputs one detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated by an incident angle of the incident light, and a signal processing unit provided so as to be associated with an area in which at least two pixel output units out of the plurality of pixel output units are formed that processes signals read out from the pixel output units formed in the area and obtains output pixel values. The present disclosure may be applied to, for example, an imaging element, an imaging device, an image processing device, an electronic device, a system and the like.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Noriaki Kozuka, Akira Matsui, Yoshitaka Miyatani
