  • Patent number: 10791260
    Abstract: There are provided an imaging device, an information acquisition method, and an information acquisition program that can simply and accurately acquire information related to a ray angle with respect to an image sensor in a case where subject light is incident on the image sensor through an interchangeable lens even though the interchangeable lens having no compatibility is mounted on the imaging device. An image sensor (201) including first phase difference pixels and second phase difference pixels is moved between a first position (P1) and a second position (P2) in the direction of an optical axis of an interchangeable lens.

  • Patent number: 10744411
    Abstract: A simulation system includes a processor including hardware. The processor performs: a virtual space setting process of setting a virtual space in which a plurality of objects are arranged; a virtual camera control process of controlling a virtual camera corresponding to a point-of-view of a user wearing a head mounted display; and a display process of generating an image as viewed from the virtual camera in the virtual space as a display image on the head mounted display. In the virtual space setting process, the processor arranges at least one information display object controlled to follow a change in the point-of-view of the user in the virtual space. In the display process, when the information display object and an object in the virtual space have entered into a given positional relationship, the processor performs a change process of a display mode of the information display object or the object.

  • Patent number: 10587854
    Abstract: An imaging element captures an optical image incident through an imaging lens. A finder device is configured to be capable of observing the optical image. An EVFLCD displays information to be observable in a state of being overlapped on or being close to the optical image, in the finder device. An EVF display controller controls the EVFLCD so that target color temperature information indicating a color temperature that is a target of color temperature adjustment and image color temperature information indicating a color temperature of the captured image are displayed as the information. A color temperature adjustment unit adjusts the color temperature of the captured image obtained by capturing the optical image using the imaging element based on a color temperature adjustment operation. In a case where the color temperature adjustment operation is performed, the image color temperature information is changed in accordance with an adjustment operation amount.

  • Patent number: 10556619
    Abstract: In a steering control apparatus, a basic assistance torque calculating unit calculates a basic assistance torque. A return control unit calculates a return control amount to assist in returning a steering wheel to a neutral position, as a correction torque to be added to the basic assistance torque. In the return control unit, a target steering speed calculating unit calculates a target steering speed being that is a target value for a steering speed. A return control amount calculating unit calculates the return control amount such that the steering speed follows the target steering speed. A returning state determining unit determines whether the steering wheel is turning or returning. The target steering speed calculating unit gradually increases an absolute value of the target steering speed from an absolute value of the steering speed when the steering wheel is returning.
