A switch member is provided. The switch member includes a mounting board, a moveable plate, a first blade and a second blade. The mounting board includes a mounting board opening. The moveable plate is slidably connected to the mounting board, wherein the moveable plate includes a moveable plate opening, and the moveable plate further includes a first moveable plate abutting portion and a second moveable plate abutting portion. The first blade includes a first blade pivoting portion, a first blade abutting portion and a first blade covering portion, wherein the first blade pivoting portion is located between the first blade abutting portion and the first blade covering portion. The second blade includes a second blade pivoting portion, a second blade abutting portion and a second blade covering portion, wherein the second blade abutting portion is located between the second blade pivoting portion and the second blade covering portion.

An image recording device having a projected viewfinder is described that projects individual, or multiple sets of synchronized framing beams onto a target image that are coaxially aligned with the field of view of the camera. The set of framing beams is projected onto the target image beyond the scope of the field of view being recorded by the image recording device but still within the field of vision of the operator of the device. In this way, the operator of the image recording device will be able to clearly see the framing beams identifying the limits of the recorded areas, while not having any portion of the field of view of the image recording device obscured by the framing beams themselves.

An imaging apparatus includes: a zoom lens unit that forms image light on an imaging unit; a zoom ring that is provided around the zoom lens to be manually rotated; a rotation detection unit including: a slit member that includes a plurality of blades that are spaced apart from one another in a rotation direction and is rotated by being connected to the zoom ring, and a sensor that detects rotation of the slit member and outputs a detection signal; and a lens control unit that adjusts a zoom ratio by driving the zoom lens unit based on the detection signal of the sensor, wherein a rotation ratio of the slit member to the zoom ring is greater than 1.

Provided are an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program capable of accurately and simply controlling a movement sensitivity of an index displayed on a finder monitor to a sensitivity desired by a user by using a touch panel installed on a rear monitor. The imaging apparatus (10) has a finder that includes the finder monitor (13), the touch panel (31) that receives a swipe operation for moving the index, and an image processing unit (24). The image processing unit (24) includes a sensitivity setting unit that sets a first sensitivity for coarsely moving the index by the swipe operation or a second sensitivity for finely moving the index by detecting a contact operation to the touch panel in the swipe operation, and a movement control unit that moves the index on the basis of the swipe operation on the touch panel and the sensitivity set by the sensitivity setting unit.

Aspects relate to an array camera exhibiting little or no parallax artifacts in captured images. For example, the planes of the central mirror surfaces of the array camera can be located at a midpoint along, and orthogonally to, a line between the corresponding camera location and the virtual camera location. Accordingly, the cones of all of the cameras in the array appear as if coming from the virtual camera location after folding by the mirrors. Each sensor in the array “sees” a portion of the image scene using a corresponding facet of the central mirror prism, and accordingly each individual sensor/mirror pair represents only a sub-aperture of the total array camera. The complete array camera has a synthetic aperture generated based on the sum of all individual aperture rays.

An illumination apparatus irradiates first reference light having a first intensity distribution and second reference light having a second intensity distribution that has a complementary relation with the first intensity distribution. A photodetector measures reflected light from an object. A processing device executes a first correlation calculation using a first detection intensity based on the output of the photodetector in a state in which the first reference light is irradiated and the second intensity distribution, and executes a second correlation calculation using a second detection intensity based on the output of the photodetector in a state in which the second reference light is irradiated and the second intensity distribution.

A gate-based vehicle image capture system for analyzing vehicle image data is presented. The system may include a portable imaging gate apparatus configured to capture vehicle image data of a vehicle. The portable imaging gate apparatus may include a plurality of imaging assemblies positioned at a plurality of viewing angles. The system may further include an external processing server configured to receive the vehicle image data from the portable imaging gate apparatus. The external processing server may also analyze the vehicle image data to identify a plurality of vehicle features, and determine a first vehicle feature from the plurality of vehicle features. The first vehicle feature may be related to a vehicle incident. The system may also include a provider server configured to receive the first vehicle feature from the external processing server, and update an aspect of a risk evaluation based on the first vehicle feature.
