Patent number: 10447930Abstract: A monitoring camera sets ON or OFF of swing correction in accordance with setting information about whether or not the swing correction of an image (that is, captured image) captured by an image sensor is performed, and corrects swing by cutting out a part of the captured image based on a swing detected value of a vibration sensor in a case where the swing correction is set ON. The monitoring camera outputs the captured image while maintaining a state thereof in a case where the swing correction is set OFF.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Masamichi Ohara, Takamasa Yokoyama, Kazuki Yoshino, Yoshio Sakakibara, Yoichiro Yamagi, Hironori Kuribayashi, Yoshihito Urashima, Jyouji Wada, Shinichiro Okamura

Patent number: 9998701Abstract: An imaging device in the present invention includes an imaging unit that images an image and an installation unit on which the imaging unit is removably installed. The installation unit houses a first contactless transmitter that transmits and receives at least one of a power and a signal in a non-contact basis. The imaging unit houses an axis portion, a second contactless transmitter, and transmits and receives at least one of the electric power and the signal in a non-contact basis, and an imaging mechanism portion that is fixed to the other end portion of the axis portion in the side opposite to the installation unit side, and is connected to the second contactless transmitter via a transmission wire inserted through the axis portion. In this way, a watertproofness and a dustproofness can be improved, and thus, it is possible to improve a long-term reliability.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Jyouji Wada, Yoshihito Urashima, Tamotsu Uchida, Toshihisa Tsuda, Hirohito Tsuruta, Masahumi Mizuno
