  • Patent number: 11854169
    Abstract: An image correction device including: an image data acquisition part for acquiring the image data obtained by a camera; and a correction part for correcting the image data on the basis of a first difference that is a difference between a first image height obtained by light having entered the camera at a first incident angle and a first reference image height obtained by light having entered the camera at the first incident angle when the camera is free of manufacturing errors.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130120646
    Abstract: A 3D adapter (100) comprises a left-eye optical system (OL) and a right-eye optical system (OR). The left-eye optical system (OL) is an optical system for forming a first optical image seen from a first viewpoint, and guides light from a subject to a uniaxial optical system (V). The right-eye optical system (OR) is an optical system for forming a second optical image seen from a second viewpoint that is different from the first viewpoint, and guides light from a subject to the uniaxial optical system (V).

  • Patent number: 7639411
    Abstract: A light source provided with a laser element that emits a laser beam emits a laser beam for synchronization control. A synchronization mirror reflects the laser beam so as to allow a light receiving element in the light source to detect the laser beam. The synchronization mirror is provided on f-? lenses opposite to a light deflector, such that the f-? lenses are provided neither on a light beam path that connects the light source and the light deflector nor on a light beam path for synchronization control that connects the light deflector and the synchronization mirror.

  • Patent number: 6636253
    Abstract: A light scanning apparatus including a beam emitter for emitting a light beam; a multi-facet rotary mirror having a plurality of reflective facets for reflecting the light beam emitted from the beam emitter and rotatable for scanning the light beam reflected on the reflective facets over a scanning object; an incident optical system for shaping the light beam emitted from the beam emitter to allow the light beam to have a greater width than a width of each of the reflective facets of the multi-facet rotary mirror as measured in a scanning direction for overfilled facet illumination and directing the light beam to the multi-facet rotary mirror; and an f&thgr; lens provided in a path of the light beam extending from the multi-facet rotary mirror to the scanning object; wherein the incident optical system comprises deflector configuration provided between the f&thgr; lens and the scanning object for deflecting the light beam emitted from the beam emitter toward the multi-facet rotary mirror so as to cause the li
