  • Patent number: 11968448
    Abstract: An imaging support device that supports imaging performed by an imaging apparatus includes an acquisition portion that acquires an in-image shift amount between a predetermined position in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region by an imaging element and a position of a target subject image showing a target subject, and a focal length of the imaging apparatus, a derivation portion that derives a movement amount required for moving the position of the target subject image to a specific position by a position adjustment portion which adjusts the position of the target subject image in the captured image, based on the in-image shift amount acquired by the acquisition portion, the focal length acquired by the acquisition portion, and information related to a pixel interval of pixels in the imaging element, and an output portion that outputs the movement amount derived by the derivation portion.

  • Publication number: 20240114245
    Abstract: An imaging support method includes acquiring a focal length of an imaging apparatus, detecting a subject image position of a target subject image showing a target subject in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region including the target subject by the imaging apparatus, and performing registration control for setting the detected subject image position to a specific position in the captured image by increasing a ratio of application of an image region movement component compared to a lens moving mechanism in a case where the acquired focal length is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and increasing a ratio of application of the lens moving mechanism compared to the image region movement component in a case where the focal length is less than the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240102957
    Abstract: In an electrochemical gas sensor (10), a first sensing element (21) is stored in a first storage portion (31). A moisture permeable film (24) is disposed in a first introduction inlet (31A) of the first storage portion (31). The moisture permeable film (24) substantially prevents a to-be-detected gas from permeating therethrough. A second sensing element (22) is disposed in a space into which water vapor and the to-be-detected gas contained in a target gas flow. In such a configuration, the electrochemical gas sensor (10) is capable of detecting a to-be-detected gas having a concentration of 0 or more and 1 ppm or less.
