A control apparatus comprises a generation unit that generates a first synchronization signal and a second synchronization signal; and a control unit that controls the generation unit. The control unit controls the generation unit such that the first synchronization signal used to repeatedly readout a first image signal to be sequentially displayed on a display and the second synchronization signal used to display the first image signal on the display are output with a predetermined time difference. In a case where a second image signal is read out at a timing corresponding to a shooting instruction between readouts of the first image signals, the first and second synchronization signals are output with the predetermined time difference before and after the readouts of the second image signal.

The first fusion chip is connected to the processing chip by a data transmission channel and is configured to converge data streams received via a plurality of data transmission channels connected to the plurality of first photosensitive chips, to obtain a first high-speed convergent data, and to send the first high-speed convergent data to the processing chip. The processing chip is configured to receive the high-speed convergent data stream and obtain an image by using the received data stream.

A signal control module integrated to a low coherence interferometry including a one-dimensional (1D) array image sensor is provided. The signal control module includes an image acquisition controller and a signal controller. The image acquisition controller sends a 1D image acquisition control signal. The signal controller sends a two-dimensional (2D) image acquisition control signal, wherein the 1D and 2D image acquisition control signals are synchronized with each other. The 1D array image sensor captures 1D image information of an object-to-be-tested at different positions along a direction according to the 1D and 2D image acquisition control signals. The 1D image information constitutes 2D image information. Furthermore, a low coherence interferometry is provided.

An outer housing for the lens main body, and a lens formed from the lens main body and the outer housing have an altered functional scope vis-à-vis the lens main body. In addition, a lens assembly includes, besides the lens main body, two outer housings having a different functional scope.

A mobile device includes an application processor and an image sensor. The application processor includes an imaging subsystem configured to process high resolution image data through a first interface and a sensor hub configured to process sensor data through a second interface. The image sensor operates in one of first and second modes. The image sensor is configured to capture the high resolution image data in response to a request from the imaging subsystem and the imaging subsystem is configured to access the high resolution image data using the first interface for performing a first operation, during the first mode. The image sensor is configured to capture low resolution image data and the sensor hub is configured to access the low resolution image data using the second bus for performing a second operation, during the second mode.

An image processing apparatus for processing image pickup signals of subpixels of an image pickup element including a plurality of unit pixels each of which has a plurality of subpixels for receiving light passing through different partial pupil areas of a focusing optical system and generating image data of a photographed image, obtains in-focus information of the photographed image, sets a first area and a second area different from the first area onto the photographed image on the basis of the obtained in-focus information, and adds a part of the image pickup signals of the subpixels obtained from the image pickup element so that the number of image pickup signals of the subpixels per unit pixel in the image data of the photographed image corresponding to the first area is larger than that of the image data of the photographed image corresponding to the second area.

The disclosure is related to adaptive transcoding of video streams from a camera. A camera system includes a camera and a base station connected to each other in a first communication network, which can be a wireless network. When a user requests to view a video from the camera, the base station obtains a video stream from the camera, transcodes the video stream, based on one or more input parameters, to generate a transcoded video stream, and transmits the transcoded video stream to a user device. The base station can transcode the video stream locally, e.g., within the base station, or in a cloud network based on transcoding location factors. Further, the camera system can also determine whether to stream the video to the user directly from the base station or from the cloud network based on streaming location factors.

A function on video recording devices that enable the user to automatically switch video recording from a front camera to a back or other camera without stopping the video or rotating the recording device, eliminating the need for separate persons acting as reporter and cameraman, eliminating the need to merge multiple video clips to make a complete video, and eliminating undesired content occurring while a device is rotated from one target to another.

An image display apparatus, an image display method, and an electronic device. The apparatus includes: a first camera, configured to output a frame of first image signal during each of frame periods, each of the frame periods including a first duration and a second duration; a second camera, configured to output a frame of second image signal during the second duration; an image signal processor; and a switch module, coupled to the first camera, the second camera, and the image signal processor, and configured to turn on the first camera and the image signal processor before the first image signal is outputted, and turn on the second camera and the image signal processor before the second image signal is outputted.

[Problem to be Solved] When a cable length between a CHU and a CCU varies, images-capture timings of the plural CHUs mismatch.

[Solution] In order to match the images-capture timing of the CHU, a phase control circuit in each CCU transfers, to the CHU, a frame pulse signal, a phase of which is advanced by a correction time corresponding to the cable from a time position of beginning of a frame of a reference synchronizing signal input to the CCU. In this way, a timing of the beginning of a frame of a synchronizing signal, which is received by the CHU from a synchronizing signal generation circuit, matches in a case of 1 m transfer, 400 m transfer, and 1 km transfer. Therefore, the images-capture timings of the CHUs can match.
