  • Patent number: 10877269
    Abstract: A head-mounted display apparatus includes a display device configured to form a virtual display region by a virtual image of an electronic video in a visual field of a user, an image pickup device configured to pick up an image of an image pickup range including a part or a whole of visual field of the user, and a processor. The processor determines, with signal processing for a picked-up image by the image pickup device, an observation necessary range in the picked-up image and performs display control for displaying, in the virtual display region, an image portion of the observation necessary range in the picked-up image.

  • Patent number: 10356294
    Abstract: A photographing device attachable to a moving body includes: a first control section configured to predict and obtain a change in physical quantity based on an alteration in a photographing state; and a communication control section configured to transmit information related to the change in the physical quantity. The photographing device improves stability in the moving body and stability of photographing. Information related to influence on the moving body based on a change in an outer shape and a change in a position of the center of gravity of the photographing device mounted on the moving body is shared by the moving body to improve the stability in the moving body and the stability of photographing.

  • Publication number: 20190045158
    Abstract: An imaging system for shooting and storing a plurality of processes that are performed using fingers of both hands, and eyes, comprising a control processor that detects the processes based on taken images that correspond to finger tip positions of either the left or right hand of a worker, from positions corresponding to the eyes of the worker performing the process, and a memory that stores taken images, and taken images in association with the processes, wherein the control processor 1) detects which of the left or right hand of the operator is being used in the process, 2) determines a first used tool or material to be used that is used by the detected hand, 3) detects operation start time in accordance with detection results for the first used tool or material, and 4) reasons the taken images corresponding to the start time by analogy.

  • Publication number: 20190025585
    Abstract: A wearable device includes a display element, a display part and a storage device. The display element displays an image based on an image signal. The display part is configured to be arranged in front of an eye of wearer, has a narrower display region than a visual field of the wearer, and displays the image displayed on the display element and guided by a light guiding optical system. The storage device stores a positional relationship between an operation visual field as a visual field of the wearer in performing an operation, and the display region of the display part arranged in front of the eye.

  • Patent number: 9525822
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a follow shot control unit and a blur correction unit. The follow shot control unit calculates a panning angular velocity and a tilting angular velocity based on a first or second angular velocity for an image pickup device on the basis of magnitude correlation between the first and second angular velocities for image pickup device and on the basis of an inclination angle immediately before exposure and a ratio between the first and second angular velocities, when a state is a following shot state. The blur correction unit calculates an image blur correction amount on the basis of a difference between the first angular velocity and the panning angular velocity and a difference between the second angular velocity and the tilting angular velocity.
