A computing system for tampering detection for digital images is disclosed. The computing system uses a LTI filter to filter time series data representing images in one or both of two videos and/or a still image of a live photo captured by a camera. A causal relationship in time existed between the images in the two videos and the still image when they were captured by the camera. The computing system determines whether the filtered output data representing an image by using the LTI filter is causal. If the computing system determines that the filtered output data representing the image is non-causal, it asserts a signal indicating that the image has been modified after it was captured.

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet conveying portion, an image data outputting portion, a plurality of buffer memories, an image forming portion, and a timing control portion. At least one of the plurality of buffer memories corresponding to at least one predetermined channel among the plurality of color channels other than a head color channel is configured to store image data of two different pages individually. After the image data outputting portion starts outputting image data of the first page to the buffer memory corresponding to the predetermined channel, the image data outputting portion starts outputting image data of the second page to the buffer memory regardless of whether or not the image data of the first page has been read from the buffer memory.

An image capturing apparatus includes an interval shooting section (51) that performs an interval shooting process, a lighten compositing section (54) that performs a lighten compositing process using images captured one by one by the interval shooting process, and a composite-image-in-progress displaying section (55) that, when a first operation is performed, causes a composite image in a first memory area, which is used as a compositing buffer for the lighten compositing process, to be displayed on an LCD monitor without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.

An imaging apparatus including an imaging sensor, a memory, and a CPU. The CPU is operable as: (i) repeatedly acquiring an image by driving the imaging sensor at preset timing, (ii) acquiring an image by driving the imaging sensor by receiving an instruction at arbitrary timing, while maintaining acquisition processing by the (i), (iii) storing, in the memory, the image acquired by the (i) and the image acquired by the (ii), (iv) judging whether the arbitrary timing and the preset timing coincide with each other, and (v) when judged that the arbitrary timing and the preset timing coincide with each other as a result of a judgment of the (iv), controlling to store, in the memory, the image acquired by one of the (i) and the (ii), as the image acquired by the other of the (i) and the (ii), or controlling the imaging sensor.

A detection apparatus according to an embodiment includes a first output control unit and a living body detection unit. The first output control unit performs controlling to output first output information in a first output form for giving a stimulus to a sense other than a sense of sight, and the first output information is made according to an action for a subject to make after closing of an eye. The living body detection unit detects whether the subject included in a first captured image captured after the first output information is output is a living body.

A small wearable recall device is provided to capture images triggered by a combination of a detection of a capture condition (e.g., changes in motion, temperature or light level) followed by a relatively stable period, as detected by an accelerometer. By triggering on the combination of a detected capture condition followed by a detected stability condition, a clearer image of the environment of an interesting event is expected to be captured. The small size of the recall device makes it possible to integrate it into common portable consumer products, such as MP3 players, purses, clothing, hats, backpacks, necklaces, collars, and other human-wearable products.

An acceleration-based mobile asset data recorder and transmitter equipped with a wireless processing unit, an event recorder, a digital video recorder, a fuel level sensor, and an inertial navigation sensor board. The inertial navigation sensor board includes a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer, a 3-axis magnetometer, and a microcontroller. The data recorder and transmitter allows for automatic orientation, automatic compass calibration, fuel compensation with pitch and roll, emergency brake application with impact detection, rough operating condition detection, engine running detection, and inertial navigation of a mobile asset. Users can use the normal operation of their mobile assets to locate and alert, in real-time, areas where their assets are encountering rough operating environments, to provide for quicker emergency response, and to validate the effectiveness of repairs and rerouting.

An image capture apparatus includes an interval shooting processing unit and an operation management control unit. It controls interval shooting to repeatedly execute photography processing that is set at a photographing interval that is set. The operation management control unit causes the contents of the power savings processing operation to change depending on the time required in photography processing, or the time required in recovery to a photography capable state. The image capture apparatus can thereby perform proper power savings control irrespective of the photography method of interval shooting.

An image capturing apparatus includes an interval shooting section (51) that performs an interval shooting process, a lighten compositing section (54) that performs a lighten compositing process using images captured one by one by the interval shooting process, and a composite-image-in-progress displaying section (55) that, when a first operation is performed, causes a composite image in a first memory area, which is used as a compositing buffer for the lighten compositing process, to be displayed on an LCD monitor without causing the interval shooting process to be stopped.

In the present invention, when a user operation (shutter button depression) for instructing to start still image recording or a user operation (REC button depression) for instructing to start moving image recording is performed and detected at recording timing in interval shooting, a CPU records a still image or a moving image by an imaging section based on the user operation, without temporarily stopping the recording for the interval shooting. In addition, the CPU stores, in an external memory, a still image or a moving image recorded by the interval shooting and the still image or the moving image recorded by the detection of the user's instruction operation such that they can be managed to be usable as material for the interval shooting.
