Patent number: 7428616Abstract: An information processing apparatus has a CPU, a memory, a cache memory and a cache controller. When an acquisition of an area of a prescribed size is requested in the memory, a size equivalent to at least two lines serving as a cache unit is added to the prescribed size requested and this area is reserved in the memory. The area reserved is allocated to an uncacheable memory area of this memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Ogawa, Takeo Sakimura

Publication number: 20050128320Abstract: An image recording and reproducing apparatus includes a recording and reproducing circuit that records input image data onto a recording medium and that reproduces the image data from the recording medium, a determining circuit that determines whether or not the data recorded in the recording medium is unreadable by the recording and reproducing circuit, and a display unit that displays the existence of unreadable data when the determining circuit determines that unreadable recording format data is recorded in the recording medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takeo Sakimura

Publication number: 20040227825Abstract: When photographing is performed in a mode for photographing at least two images such as a stitch mode and an auto bracket mode, the number of photographs necessary for photographing in the mode is determined, and the number of residual photographable pictures is calculated. When the number of photographs necessary for photographing is less than the number of photographable pictures, the photographing data size is reduced or an image data recording compression ratio is increased, thereby decreasing a user's burden of ascertaining that a number of photographs necessary for photographing is less than the number of residual photographable pictures by the user himself or herself in advance in a mode for photographing at least two images.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2004Publication date: November 18, 2004Applicant: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeo Sakimura, Takeshi Ogawa

Patent number: 6549650Abstract: There is disclosed a binocular camera which can realize panoramic view and stereoscopic view during image sensing. There is also disclosed a binocular camera which has two image sensing optical systems, a circuit for synthesizing right and left sensed parallax image signals to a panoramic image or a three-dimensional image, and a display for displaying the synthesized image signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1997Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Motohiro Ishikawa, Katsumi Iijima, Kotaro Yano, Sunao Kurahashi, Katsuhiko Mori, Takeo Sakimura

Patent number: 6507358Abstract: There is disclosed a multi-lens image pickup apparatus provided with plural image pickup systems and an image display means and adapted to synthesize the plural images picked up respectively with the plural image pickup systems, into one, to store the synthesized image in image memory means and to display the stored image on the image display means. The camera further comprises horizontal compression means for comprising the plural picked-up images in the horizontal directions, selection means for compressing the plural images in the vertical direction by selecting the input of the plural image signals and outputting thus selected image signal to the image display means, and memory control means for storing the compressed plural images in said image memory means in such a manner that the plural images compressed in the horizontal and vertical directions are displayed in an arranged manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1998Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Katsuhiko Mori, Katsumi Iijima, Kotaro Yano, Sunao Kurahashi, Takeo Sakimura

Patent number: 6278480Abstract: A compound eye camera provided integrally with plural image pickup elements and a display unit adapted to display an image, divided into stripes in every scanning line or in every plural scanning lines and to give different directionalities to the display of the striped image in the odd-numbered lines and the display of the striped image in the even-numbered lines, thereby providing stereoscopic display at a predetermined observing position. The camera further has a display control unit for dividing each of two images, picked up with the plural image pickup elements and having a parallax, into stripes in the horizontal direction and alternately arranging the divided stripes by every line to synthesize a striped image, and causing the display unit to display such synthesized striped image.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1998Date of Patent: August 21, 2001Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Sunao Kurahashi, Katsumi Iijima, Kotaro Yano, Hideki Morishima, Katsuhiko Mori, Takeo Sakimura
