  • Publication number: 20150178903
    Abstract: An image correction apparatus for correcting distortion of an image, the image being obtained by photographing a subject, which is provided with a specifying unit for specifying a relationship in position between points on the subject in a three-dimensional space based on both a relationship in position between the points on the subject in the image in a two-dimensional space and a photographing angle relative to a surface of the subject, an obtaining unit for obtaining information of distortion of the image that is reflected by the relationship in position between the points on the subject in the three-dimensional space, specified by the specifying unit, and a correcting unit for correcting the distortion of the image based on the information of distortion of the image obtained by the obtaining unit.

  • Publication number: 20120237186
    Abstract: A moving image generating method, a moving image generating apparatus and a storage medium for generating a moving image from a still image. According to one application, a moving image generating method uses a moving image generating apparatus which stores in advance a plurality of pieces of movement information showing movements of a plurality of movable points. The method includes, an obtaining step which obtains a still image; a setting step which sets a plurality of movement control points in the still image; a frame image generating step which moves the plurality of control points based on movements of movement information and deforms the still image to generate a plurality of frame images; and a moving image generating step which generates a moving image from a plurality of frames.

  • Patent number: 7929020
    Abstract: A camera device comprises a movable optical system, a driving unit which drives the optical system, and a control unit which makes the driving unit start driving of the optical system to a predetermined state by an initialization of the optical system by using an interrupt processing which is executed by setting an interrupt processing routine before the operating system is started, when the camera device is started up in a state in which an operation mode for photographing is set.
