CAMERA MODULE
A camera module includes a housing, a lens module accommodated in the housing, a first optical image stabilization (OIS) driving unit configured to move the lens module, relative to the housing, in a first direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction, and a second OIS driving unit configured to move the lens module, relative to the housing, in a second direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction and intersecting the first direction, wherein the first OIS driving unit includes first voice coil motors disposed on both sides of the lens module in the first direction, and the second OIS driving unit includes second voice coil motors disposed on both sides of the lens module in the first direction.
IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS
An image capturing apparatus having a touch panel mounted on a display unit on the rear side of its housing is provided with a posture detection unit; a first gripping unit positioned on side of the housing when the posture is a normal position; a second gripping unit positioned on side of the housing when the posture is a vertical position; a first operating member operable by a finger of a hand that is gripping the first gripping unit; a second operating member operable by a finger of a hand that is gripping the second gripping unit; and a control unit that displays a first button for deactivating operations from the second operating member on the display screen, and receives input to the first button via the touch panel. The display position of the first button on the display unit is set based on a first virtual circle for which the center point has been set in the range of the first gripping unit or the second gripping unit, and the radius of the first virtual circle is a tangential line that reaches from the center point to the outer edge of the display unit, cutting across the display unit.
FOLDED OPTIC FOR MULTICAMERA DEVICE AND MULTICAMERA DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
A multicamera device includes: a first sensor to detect a first spectrum of external light; a second sensor to detect a second spectrum of the external light; and an optic overlapping with the first and second sensors. The optic includes: a substrate; a first reflective layer on the substrate; and an optical layer between the first sensor and the substrate, the optical layer to transmit the first spectrum of the external light to the first sensor, and reflect the second spectrum of the external light toward the first reflective layer, and the first reflective layer is to reflect the second spectrum of the external light in a direction toward the second sensor.
IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
There is provided an image processing device including: a plurality of light sources each emitting a plurality of lights; a camera outputting a first subject image obtained by photographing a subject; and a control unit controlling each of the plurality of light sources according to an optical coded pattern set based on a complex modulation transfer function during a shutter exposure time of the camera, and outputting a second subject image in which motion blur is removed from the first subject image according to point spread functions for each color channel modulated by the optical coded pattern set.
TERMINAL APPARATUS HAVING POWER-SAVING MODE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A terminal apparatus capable of shifting to a power-saving mode with high accuracy in a case where a user puts the terminal apparatus in a bag or pocket A luminance distribution acquisition section acquires luminance distribution around the terminal apparatus. A storage area stores a learned model generated from time series information including the luminance distribution acquired by the luminance distribution acquisition section. A determination section determines, based on the time series information and the learned model, whether a user operation of the terminal apparatus has bee terminated or in progress. A power supply section shifts the terminal apparatus to the power-saving mode according to a result of the determination performed by the determination section.
INTERFEROMETRIC STRUCTURED ILLUMINATION FOR DEPTH DETERMINATION
A depth camera assembly (DCA) has a light source assembly, a mask, a camera assembly, and a controller. The light source assembly includes at least one light source. The mask is configured to generate an interference pattern that is projected into a target area. The mask has two openings configured to pass through light emitted by the at least one light source, and the light passed through the two openings forms an interference pattern across the target area. The interference pattern has a phase based on a position of the light source. The camera assembly is configured to capture images of a portion of the target area that includes the interference pattern. The controller is configured to determine depth information for the portion of the target area based on the captured images.
BLADE DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
A blade driving device in which a central axis is defined includes a blade, a base, a movable ring, driving mechanism and a plurality of plate springs. The base is formed in an annular shape centered on the central axis. The movable ring is formed in an annular shape centered on the central axis. The driving mechanism drives the blade by rotating the movable ring around the central axis with respect to the base. The plate springs connect the base and the movable ring to rotatably support the movable ring with respect to the base. The plate springs are arranged at equal intervals around the central axis and expand in a radial direction of a circle centered on the central axis and in a central axis direction.
BLADE DRIVING DEVICE, CAMERA DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
According to an embodiment, a blade driving device in which a central axis is defined includes a plurality of blades and a plurality of groups. The blades are arranged around the central axis. Each of the groups has a magnet and at least two coils and the groups are arranged at intervals along a circumference of a circle centered on the central axis. A winding axis direction of the coil coincides with a normal direction of a facing surface of the magnet facing the coil, magnetic poles formed on the facing surface are reversed at a position corresponding to a center of the coil when viewed from the winding axis direction, and each of the groups generates an electromagnetic force along a circumference direction of the circle to drive the blades.
Flash unit using adjustable diffusers
Embodiments of systems and methods for using electronic diffusers to implement message indicators are described. A segment of a diffuser attached to an electronic device is configured to indicate an informational message in response to signals that result in a change to an optical property. A set of information to be displayed using the segment is determined, and a signal is transmitted to the segment to display the information.
