Patent number: 9609298Abstract: Disclosed herein are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, a recording medium, and a program which are capable of processing imaging data in a manner similar to that of a normal frame rate. Image data captured by a solid-state imaging element capable of performing imaging at a high resolution and a high frame rate is supplied to a memory control. The memory control, at the same time as writing the imaging data input from the imaging element in a frame memory, reads preceding frames of imaging data that are recorded on the frame memory, and sequentially respectively outputs them in parallel, as video image data items, for each frame, to respective camera signal processing units. In the camera signal processing units, a video output, a viewfinder output, codec units, and recording units, processing similar to that when a frame rate that is ¼ the imaging frame rate is executed.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Seiji Kobayashi, Isao Ohashi, Yoshihiko Kuroki

Patent number: 9239464Abstract: The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method so as to be able to obtain disparity information, without deteriorating the image quality of the image. Incident light from a subject is made to be parallel light by a relay lens unit 33, part thereof is reflected by a transmissive mirror 35, and the remaining incident light transmits the transmissive mirror 35. An imaging device 39 performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light which has transmitted the transmissive mirror 35 and images a basic image, and an imaging device 40 performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light which has reflected off of the transmissive mirror 35 and images disparity detection images.

Patent number: 8842164Abstract: A light ray output from a subject is separated into left and right light rays by mirrors in an area in which a diverging light ray output from a point of the subject is converted into a parallel light ray. When a subject is looked at from the right side or the left side, the light rays are reflected by various mirrors. The light rays reflected by the mirrors are made incident on image forming lenses. These light rays form an image on a light receiving surface of an imaging device. In this way, a high-quality 3D image having an appropriate parallax level and a small chromatic aberration is captured.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Yoshihiko Kuroki
