  • Publication number: 20230269467
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprises: an image sensor that shoots a subject and outputs image data; a controller that controls sensitivity of the image sensor; a display that displays an image based on the image data; and a selector that selects an acceptable noise level based on noise of the image displayed on the display. The controller limits the sensitivity based on the selected noise level.

  • Patent number: 11509856
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus. An obtaining unit obtains an image, and first NR information defining noise reduction processing using a first noise reduction processing method which an external apparatus can apply to the image. A generating unit generates, on the basis of the first NR information, second NR information defining noise reduction processing using a second noise reduction processing method which is different from the first noise reduction processing method. A noise reducing unit applies the noise reduction processing using the second noise reduction processing method to the image in accordance with the second NR information.

  • Patent number: 9164030
    Abstract: The present invention is applied for an image capturing device having a light source and a camera that captures an image of a measurement subject placed in an optical path that lies between said camera itself and said light source. The image capturing device according to the present invention includes a control unit that subtracts a plurality of frame images captured by said camera during an OFF period of said light source from a plurality of frame images captured by said camera during an ON period of said light source, the number of frame images captured by said camera during the OFF period being the same as that number of frame images obtained by said camera during the ON period and integrates the differences between their images.
