摘要： A first imaging device and a second image device are connected with each other in a communicatable manner, and data of imaging timing and data of an exposure period of the first imaging device are transmitted to the second imaging device. In the second imaging device, the imaging timing and the exposure period can be set based on the data of the imaging timing and the data of the exposure period which are received. Therefore, an image is taken by the first imaging device and the second imaging device with the imaging timing and the exposure period of the first imaging device agreeing with those of the second imaging device.

摘要： It is provided a method for a computerized, server autonomously producing a TV show of a sports game in a scene. The method includes receiving from several video cameras a stream of video images of the scene for capturing a panoramic view of the scene, analyzing the stream of video images for allowing definition of several frame streams, determining location data of the frame streams accordingly, and rendering an active frame stream with images imaging a respective portion of the panoramic view of the scene. The method includes also transmitting for broadcasting a stream of image frames imaging the respective portion of the panoramic view. The step of analyzing the stream of video images includes identifying a playing object, tracking the playing, object and identifying players. The method also includes calibrating the cameras using points in the playing field. The method may include analyzing the stream of video images for identifying an event in the scene for switching between the active frame stream and a different frame stream. Also, the method may include directing a directed sensor to a region of interest in accordance with location data of the active, frame stream.

摘要： An imaging system having an imaging device for producing images of objects and picture signals and an imaging controller connected to the imaging device through a transmission line. The imaging device includes a vertical synchronizing signal-producing circuit to produce an internal vertical synchronizing signal for the production of images of objects. The imaging controller includes a delay-measuring circuit and a vertical-synchronization phase-advancing circuit. In the system, the imaging controller transmits a test signal to the imaging device and receives the test signal returned from the imaging device. The delay-measuring circuit measures a delay of a phase of the returned test signal relative to a phase of the transmitted test signal. The vertical-synchronization phase-advancing circuit then advances a phase of an external vertical synchronizing signal by the delay and transmits the external vertical synchronizing signal to the imaging device. The vertical synchronizing signal-producing circuit at the imaging device is reset by the phase advanced external vertical synchronizing signal transmitted from the vertical-synchronization phase-advancing circuit.

摘要： Do display more than one picture on a television/monitor multi picture in picture systems are known. The invention proposes a multi picture in picture system in which each camera is coupled in a daisy chain adds its part of the complete picture on a CVBS-line. One of the main differences is that now the television/monitor don't have to prepare the complete picture because each camera does it. Further no problems with locking occur because each camera adds its picture at the nullplacenull where it is also locked.
