Abstract:
The imaging device comprises: an imaging unit, a shooting processor, an exposure information setter, and an image processor. The imaging unit stores electric charges in response to an incident light for each frame, thereby outputting an image signal. The shooting processor controls storage times, during which the imaging unit stores the electric charges. The exposure information setter sets first exposure control information that controls brightness of a first image signal generated based on a first storage time and second exposure control information that controls brightness of a second image signal generated based on a second storage time. The image processor combines the first and the second image signal. In the case where the first exposure control information satisfies a given condition, the exposure information setter sets the first and the second exposure control information such that storage times corresponding to frames adjacent to each other become equal to each other.
Abstract:
An imaging element includes a plurality of types of smaller array units, each of which is configured with a plurality of types of color filters arranged in three rows by three columns. The color filters includes a first color filter and a second color filter which has a spectral characteristic different from that of the first color filter. These smaller array units are arranged in two rows by two columns to configure a larger array unit. Then, the smaller array units are disposed such that a first centroid position coincides with a second centroid position, in the larger array unit. The first centroid is formed with pixels used in pixel addition processing for pixel information based on light transmitted through the first color filters. The second centroid is formed with pixels used in pixel addition processing for pixel information based on light transmitted through the second color filters.
Abstract:
The present disclosure aims to achieve a more effective image in slow motion. An imaging apparatus of the present disclosure includes an image sensor that outputs image data at a first frame rate and an image processor. The image processor: (i) generates motion image data having a second frame rate that is 1/N of the first frame rate, based on the image data having the first frame rate output from the image sensor, for frames not provided with a given instruction, (ii) generates motion image data having the first frame rate based on the image data having the first frame rate output from the image sensor, for frames provided with a given instruction and (iii) processes the generated motion image data having the first frame rate and the generated motion image data having the second frame rate as a series of motion image data.
Abstract:
A motion picture playback apparatus that achieves a more effective playback in slow motion is disclosed. The motion picture playback apparatus includes a read-out section for reading out a motion picture stream from a recording medium that records the motion picture stream containing a motion picture stretch formed of a group of frames shot at 1/N times speed, and a processing section for providing the group of frames with a frame interpolation process in the case of playing back the read-out motion picture stream, and playing back the group of frames at a speed slower than the 1/N times speed when the motion picture stretch in the motion picture stream is played back.
