Patent number: 11099008Abstract: An image capture device assembly includes a light source that emits a reference light pattern, an image capture device, and a control device that controls the light source and the image capture device. The light source emits the reference light pattern to a subject with high brightness and low brightness, respectively, under the control of the control device. The image capture device captures an image of the reference light pattern and the subject in a high brightness irradiation state and outputs a first image signal to the control device. The image capture device captures an image of at least the subject in a low brightness irradiation state and outputs a second image signal to the control device. The control device generates a reference light pattern image signal from a difference between the first image signal and the second image signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Yuichi Hamaguchi, Shiro Omori, Hajime Numata, Masahide Hirama, Yasumasa Oda

Patent number: 9741152Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a 3D image converter and a 3D image generator. The 3D image converter performs conversion processing for converting a 2D image including a plurality of planes that are created with virtual distances into a 3D image on the basis of the virtual distances among the plurality of planes of the 2D images. The 3D image generator generates a 3D image from the two-dimensional image on the basis of the conversion processing performed by the 3D image converter and displays the generated 3D image. When a virtual distance between the corresponding planes of the 2D image is changed while the 3D image is being displayed by use of the 3D image generator, the 3D image converter performs the conversion processing in accordance with a change in the virtual distance.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Daisuke Kurosaki, Yasumasa Oda, Hanae Higuchi

Publication number: 20140125661Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image processing apparatus to be newly improved that can easily generate contents having three-dimensional images. The image processing apparatus generates a plurality of plane images and sets the virtual distances of a depth direction to the plurality of generated plane images, respectively. The image processing apparatus converts the plurality of plane images into a three-dimensional image where the space positions of objects of the plurality of plane images are set, on the basis of the virtual distances set to the plurality of generated plane images, and obtains data of the three-dimensional image. In addition, the image processing apparatus displays an editing screen that generates the plurality of plane images. The editing screen displays the plurality of plane images individually or to be overlapped and displays the plane images by providing tabs to the plane images, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2012Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Daisuke Kurosaki, Yasumasa Oda, Hanae Higuchi
