  • Patent number: 10953799
    Abstract: A display system includes a display unit, a housing, and a reflecting optical system. The display unit displays an image based on a captured image. The housing includes a housing room that houses the display unit and the reflecting optical system. The reflecting optical system reflects the image displayed on the display unit, thereby outputting the reflected image through an opening of the housing to the outside of the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10882454
    Abstract: A display system includes a display surface and a display mirror. The display surface is configured to display image P1 based on a captured image. The display mirror is configured to reflect, as reflection image P2, only a partial area in the image displayed on the display surface. The display system is configured so that a position of reflection image P2 changes as a point of view of a subject viewing the display mirror moves.

  • Publication number: 20140002612
    Abstract: A stereoscopic shooting device includes: a first and second shooting sections that obtain a first and second images, respectively; and an angle of view matching section. The angle of view matching section performs: calculating a vertical image area of the second image that has the same vertical direction range as the first image by comparing ratios of the vertical coordinates of respective representative points in image blocks selected from the first and second images, respectively; adjusting the number of horizontal lines included in the vertical image area of the second image and the number of horizontal lines included in the first image; outputting a first and second horizontal line signals representing the horizontal lines included in the first image and the vertical image area of the second image, respectively; and carrying out stereo matching by comparing the first and second horizontal line signals to each other.

  • Publication number: 20080037906
    Abstract: An image pickup device includes a horizontal inversion section 6 for horizontally inverting at least a third one of first to third pixels signals to be outputted from individual CCD units 2a to 2c corresponding to R, G, and B, and a CCD actuation control section 9 capable of controlling the first to third CCD units 2a to 2c so that pixels, 2n+1 (n=0, 1, 2, . . . ) in each set, in a horizontal direction are subjected to the pixels addition set by set. The CCD actuation control section 9 performs control such that the second pixel signal is subjected to the pixel addition at timings delayed by n pixels with respect to timings for the first pixel signal, and the third pixel signal is subjected to the pixel addition at timings delayed by n pixels with respect to the timings for the second pixel signal. With this image pickup device, a high-sensitivity image can be obtained with the resolution impairment being suppressed.
