Provided are an imaging apparatus and a display apparatus capable of taking a plurality of plane images in different photographing ranges and storing a display method of the plane images along with the taken plane images to arrange a reproduction method during imaging. When moving images are taken by a tele/wide simultaneous imaging mode, the moving images are displayed, and the moving images are recorded every certain time (for example, one second). In parallel with recording of the images, information associating a display method displayed on a monitor with an elapsed time from the start of imaging is stored in ancillary information. When a change in the display method is instructed, a CPU 110 switches the display of a monitor 16 to set the designated display method and stores information on designation of display method in the ancillary information in the next recording.

An imaging apparatus using a solid-state image sensor that reads out a signal of each pixel by an XY address method to capture an image includes a mechanical shutter configured to block light incident on a light receiving surface of the solid-state image sensor; and control means for simultaneously resetting the pixel signals for all rows in the solid-state image sensor to start exposure to the solid-state image sensor, closing the mechanical shutter after a predetermined exposure period is elapsed, and sequentially reading out the pixel signals for every row of the solid-state image sensor with the mechanical shutter being closed.

An electronic endoscope system, which is adapted to observe a fluorescence image of autofluorescence emitted from a body cavity wall irradiated with excitation light as well as a normal image of the body cavity wall illuminated with white light on a display device, includes a display controller whereby the aspect ratio of at least one of a plurality of images to display is converted so that the plurality of images are displayed in conformity with the shape of a display area of the display device when the plurality of images including the normal image and the fluorescence image are displayed on the display device. In the electronic endoscope system, the display controller converts the aspect ratio of at least one of the plurality of images by cutting both horizontal ends of the image to convert.

Embodiments for a method and system for the display of virtual image edits are disclosed. Source/linked image(s) (201a) in a web or other computer device (100a) environment may be virtually edited and/or combined with one another (102), by individual users, in collaboration with others or an automated program. Only the virtual edit alteration code, including the source image location information, are displayed (108) and saved (410), eliminating image redundancy, as the source images are not truly edited, copied or resaved, but instead remain stored at the copyright holder's disclosed location. Just as the House Of Mirrors in an amusement park changes ones reflection without changing the person, separating the image(s) from the virtual edits improves image load speeds and saves storage space. The said display is dynamically affected should the image copyright holder change or delete one of the source images.

An image capture module and an image capture method are provided. The image capture module includes an image signal processor, a preview interface module, and an image temporary storage module. The image signal processor receives an image data stream and processes the stream to generate a preview image stream and an output image stream, which will be respectively sent to the preview interface module and the image temporary storage module. The preview image stream has a first preview image frame while the output image stream has a first output image frame corresponding to the first preview image frame. When an image capture command is generated after the preview interface module receives and outputs the first preview image frame, the image temporary storage module will output the first output image frame from the buffer memory unit.

Digital television having improved channel surfing ability. At least the “I” and “P” frames of an MPEG transport stream are buffered for as many program streams as memory permits. A pointer tracks where the last “I” frame of each program stream is in memory. Since the last “I” frame and subsequent “P” frames of a program stream are available, channel changes within the current MPEG transport stream are speed up by allowing any “P” frame to start a newly selected program stream. Extra memory enables buffering of all of the “I”, “P” and “B” frames of a program stream. Extra tuners can enable selection of multiple MPEG transport streams. Intelligent choices of MPEG transport streams can speed surfing across transport streams.

Disclosed is a method, circuit and system for transmission and reconstruction of a video block. A video stream may be composed of sequential video frames, and each video frame may be composed of one or more video blocks including a set of pixels. Prior to transmission of the data associated with a video block, the video block data may be transformed into a set of transform (e.g. frequency) coefficients using a spatial to frequency transform such as a two dimensional discrete cosine transform. Selection of the subset of transform coefficients to be transmitted may be based on a characteristic of the video block.

A support for a camera phone provides a simple way of securely cradling a wide range of camera phone sizes, irrespective of whether the phone is provided with a case. The support also provides a handle assembly for stably supporting the cradled phone by hand, or with an integrated tripod mechanism.

In an image viewer, a lot of image data files are registered in a database. In each image data file, positional data is attached to image data, indicating a camera location at which the image data is captured. An image arrangement decider gets the positional data from the image data files, and decides a lattice arrangement of registered images based on the positional data, so that the relative positions of the images in the lattice correspond to the correlations between the camera locations of these images. A control device controls a display device to display the images tightly in the decided arrangement on a screen. Information relating to the camera locations of the images, e.g. borders, place names or a map, may be retrieved based on the attached positional data from another database, and displayed in addition to the images.

A security thread for embedding in or on a sheet such as a document, currency or packaging is disclosed, wherein the thread has a thin film interference structure deposited thereon. The structure may be a Fabry-Perot structure in the form of a single filter, or may be plural filters, spaced side-by-side. The thread appears to have separated interference filters deposited thereon. Preferably the thread is first roll coated with oil using an oil-ablation technique to remove deposited material in situ in the coating process. A magnetic layer may be deposited within, behind or in front of the thin film interference structure.

An image capturing lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side: a first lens element with positive refractive power having a convex object-side surface; a second lens element with negative refractive power; a third lens element having an object-side surface and an image-side surface which are both aspheric; a fourth lens element with negative refractive power having an object-side surface and an image-side surface which are both aspheric; a fifth lens element having an object-side surface and an image-side surface which are both aspheric; and a sixth lens element having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface which are both aspheric. With such arrangements, the convergent capability is mainly contributed from the object side of the lens assembly for higher portability of the lens system. Additionally, the peripheral image curve can be prevented while correcting the chromatic aberration and the peripheral image focus.

An operation of the driving circuit includes a driving phase and a discharging phase. During the driving phase, the at least one scan control unit controls the shift register units to output multiple driving signals successively in a first direction or in a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction. During the discharging phase, the at least one all-gate-on unit controls the shift register units to output multiple driving signals simultaneously. An array substrate and a display apparatus each including the driving circuit are further provided.

A biometrical feature inputting apparatus includes a 1-dimensional or quasi 1-dimensional image sensor. When a finger and the image sensor are relatively slid, a finger sliding guide keeps a finger and an effective pixel unit of the image sensor to a constant distance without any contact between them. An image processing section sequentially generates partial images by imaging emission light that is scattered inside the finger and then emitted from a skin surface of the finger by the image sensor during the relative motion of the finger and the image sensor and link the partial images to an image.

A fingerprint detection apparatus, a mobile device using the same and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The fingerprint detection apparatus comprises an image sensing integrated circuit and a spatial filter disposed on the image sensing integrated circuit. The spatial filter has adjacent light tunnels for restricting an incident angle of light to the image sensing integrated circuit to prevent scattered light from entering the image sensing integrated circuit.
