  • Publication number: 20230209187
    Abstract: An image pickup system which is capable of properly reflecting a user’s shooting intent on shooting parameters of multiple image pickup apparatuses. A first image pickup apparatus receives a change in shooting parameter and calculates a first feature value which is a feature value of a shooting scene in a picked-up image obtained by itself using the changed shooting parameter. On receiving a notification of the first feature value and the amount of the change in shooting parameter from the first image pickup apparatus, a second image pickup apparatus obtains a second feature value which is a feature value of a shooting scene in a picked-up image obtained by itself. Based on a result of comparison between the first feature value and the second feature value and the amount of the change in shooting parameter, the second image pickup apparatus changes a shooting parameter for itself.

  • Patent number: 11057598
    Abstract: A first tone correction unit generates a second image signal by applying, to a first image signal, first tone correction processing conforming to a first tone correction characteristic. A second tone correction unit generates a fourth image signal by applying, to a third image signal, second tone correction processing conforming to a second tone correction characteristic. A generation unit generates a fifth image signal by compositing a luminance component of the second image signal and a color difference component of the fourth image signal. A first tone conversion unit generates a sixth image signal by applying, to the fifth image signal, first tone conversion processing conforming to a non-linear first tone conversion characteristic. The second tone correction characteristic is determined based on the first tone correction characteristic and a non-linear second tone conversion characteristic.
