An image capturing apparatus includes a first mount portion and a first cylindrical member that has a color different from a color of the first mount portion and is disposed in a circumferential direction of the first mount portion, an accessory includes an exterior portion, a second mount portion, and a second cylindrical member having a color different from a color of the second mount portion and similar to a color of the first cylindrical member and disposed in a circumferential direction of the second mount portion, and in a state where the accessory is attached to the image capturing apparatus, reference surfaces of the first mount portion and the second mount portion are in contact with each other, and the first cylindrical member and the second cylindrical member are externally exposed regardless of whether the accessory is attached to or detached from the image capturing apparatus.

An image processing system is disclosed, comprising: an M-lens camera, a compensation device and a correspondence generator. The M-lens camera generates M lens images. The compensation device generates a projection image according to a first vertex list and the M lens images. The correspondence generator is configured to conduct calibration for vertices to define vertex mappings, horizontally and vertically scan each lens image to determine texture coordinates of its image center, determine texture coordinates of control points according to the vertex mappings, and P1 control points in each overlap region in the projection image; and, determine two adjacent control points and a coefficient blending weight for each vertex in each lens image according to the texture coordinates of the control points and the image center in each lens image to generate the first vertex list, where M>=2.

The present disclosure relates to a camera module capable of achieving a smaller height, a method of manufacturing a camera module, an imaging apparatus, and an electronic apparatus. An imaging device having its imaging surface bonded to a provisional substrate is attached, and the imaging device in that state is joined to a substrate via an electrode having a TSV structure. After the provisional substrate is detached, an IR cut filter (IRCF) on which a light blocking film is printed or jet-dispensed in a region other than the effective pixel region is bonded to the imaging surface via a transparent resin. Because of this, there is no need to provide any sealing glass in the stage before the imaging surface, and the optical length of the lens can be shortened. Thus, a smaller height can be achieved. The present disclosure can be applied to camera modules.

An endoscope includes a scope provided with a hard portion at a distal end of a long flexible portion having flexibility; an image capturing portion housed in the hard portion and having an image sensor; a transmission cable inserted into the scope and conductively connected to the image sensor at a distal end via a substrate, and a voltage conversion device mounted on the substrate and outputting a constant voltage to the image sensor with respect to a input voltage input to the transmission cable.

Disclosed is an inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras, which comprises a rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of a license plate frame and a rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top. The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame comprises a first camera (10). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame is used for rotating about an edge of the license plate frame (4) as a rotation axis, so that the first camera (10) is driven to turn and protrude out of the spatial position of the license plate frame (4). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top comprises four second cameras (20). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top is used for driving the four second cameras (20) to horizontally move simultaneously along the front and back direction or the left and right direction of the vehicle. A rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) on the top comprises a third camera (30) and a rotary handle (31). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) of the roof is used for driving the third camera (30) to move along a circular path with the length of the rotary handle (31) as the radius. The above-mentioned inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras solves the technical problems, such as the blind angle present during shooting with a traditional inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras.

An apparatus comprises: a camera module for obtaining a first image, the camera module having at least one port, each of the at least one ports being associated with an attachment position for receiving a second camera module for obtaining a second image; a processor for detecting a position of a second camera module and providing, to an image processing controller, information relating to at least one of the position of the second camera module and the first image obtained by the camera module; and a memory for storing the information relating to at least one of the position of the second camera module and the first image obtained by the camera module.

An electronic device is provided that comprises a housing, a processor and memory provided within the housing, a keyboard on the housing and a display. A camera assembly includes a camera and a camera support member having first and second ends. The camera is provided on the camera support member proximate the first end. The second end movably connected to the housing such that the camera support member may be moved from a closed state to an open state.

Examples of electronic devices are disclosed. An example electronic device includes a first housing including a first inner face, a second housing including a second inner face, and a hinge pivotably connecting the first housing to the second housing for rotation between at least a folded configuration and an open configuration, wherein the first inner face is adjacent the second inner face in the folded configuration. The example electronic device further includes a camera extending from the first inner face, and a cap on the second inner face and in alignment with the camera in the folded configuration, the cap configured to retract from the second inner face in the folded configuration to accommodate extension of the camera from the first inner face.

A lens mount assembly is configured to support a lens assembly having a lens ring and at least one lens secured to the lens ring. The lens mount assembly includes a ring mount having an annular body with at least two retaining arms that project from the annular body, a flexure configured to be secured to the ring mount, and at least two bellows. Each bellows is configured to be secured to a respective retaining arm of the at least two retaining arms of the ring mount. The at least two bellows further are configured to engage the flexure.

A mark irradiation unit (130) irradiates an object with a mark. An image capture unit (140) captures an image of the object, and generates image data. Then, an image capture area data generation unit recognizes a position of the mark in the object, and cuts out image capture area data which is a part of the image data on the basis of the mark. For this reason, the mark irradiation unit (130) irradiates the object with the mark, and thus even when a positioning symbol is not printed on the object to be stored as the image data, only a necessary portion in the image data is cut out.
