Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus includes two image display memory areas 22 and 24 which alternately repeat input and output operations by receiving a signal obtained by performing predetermined processing for an output image signal from an image sensor 12, an image display unit 28 for displaying an object image represented by image frames sequentially output from the two memory areas, a system controller 40 which, when an image frame is to be input to one of the two memory areas, causes the other one of the two memory areas to output a held image frame, and causes the two memory areas to alternately repeat the input and output operations, thereby switching inputting and outputting of the two memory areas, and a mode determination circuit 272 for determining whether the frame rate of the output image signal from the image sensor 12 is higher or lower than the image display rate of the image display unit 28.

Abstract: This invention provides a technique which performs moving image recording and still image recording free from unnatural feeling by positively informing the user of the fact that a still image is sensed during playback of a moving image when a still image is sensed during moving image recording. To this end, when a release switch is pressed to its full stroke position during moving image recording, and a switch SW2 is turned on, a still image is sensed. This still image sensing processing period is divided into a first period and second period. In the first period, a blackout image is generated, and is recorded as a moving image of a first substitute frame period (S432). An image of the sensed still image is recorded as a moving image of a second substitute frame period in the second period.

Abstract: A sample inspection system has line sensors that generate sample picture data for layers of a sample disposed at different depths of the sample. The line sensors are arranged parallel to each other and displaced from each other in a vertical direction relative to the sample. A lens system focuses the layers of the sample at the different sample depths on the respective line sensors so that pictures of the layers at the different sample depths are read as line picture data by the line sensors. The sample inspection system includes an apparatus that stores the generated sample picture data, allows a planar region of the sample to be designated by a user for display, extracts picture data corresponding to the designated planar region for each of the sample layers from the sample picture data in response to designation of the planar region, and stores the extracted picture data as a set.
