Title: Automatic focus adjusting device for a video camera
Inventor: ITO ASANOBU
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 1993-12-30
Abstract: An object image obtained through an image pickup lens is opto-electrically converted by an image pickup device (3) to obtain an electric signal. From the electric signal, an image signal is generated in an image pickup process circuit (4). A focal signal detecting circuit (5) has a vertical focal signal detecting circuit (7) for arithmetically calculating a vertical focal signal (VF1) from a change of the image signal in a vertical direction to a scanning line direction and a horizontal focal signal detecting circuit (6) for arithmetically calculating a horizontal focal signal (HF1) from a change of the image signal in a scanning line direction. A lens controller (16) indicates a position of a lens to a lens driving circuit (17,18) by a focal signal outputted from the focal signal detecting circuit. According to the indication of the lens controller, the lens driving circuit moves a focus adjusting lens along an optical axis and then carries out focus adjustment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for recognition of data which consist of bits flowing on a data transmission network, consisting in receiving, in one station of the network, identifiers which each consist of a bit field for recognising whether these identifiers form part of reference identifiers attached to the said station, and characterised in that it consists in using a high-order multiplet (IDH) of a received identifier in order to read, in a direct-reading table (51), the size and the address of a search table (53) containing the low-order multiplets of the reference identifiers of the station, and in carrying out a dichotomising search by comparing these reference multiplets with the low-order multiplet of the received identifier. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to synchronous (SDH) and plesiochronous (PDH) digital hierarchic systems and to a method and an arrangement for transmitting information between such systems. The inventive arrangement comprises a FIFO register which separates the SDH-system from the PDH-system. An incoming data signal (DATA 1N ) arriving at the buffer may contain a so-called bit justification. When a frame includes bit justification which means that a frame includes, one bit more or one bit less than the nominal number of bits. Thus the rate at which information is written into the buffer varies with each frame. 
     The purpose of the invention is to control the buffer read-out rate, so that read-out will follow the varying rate at which data is read into the FIFO register. Write addresses (WADR) are generated for write-in purposes, while read addresses (RADR) are generated for read-out purposes. According to the invention, the read-out rate is controlled with the aid of a mean value counter (38) which generates mean value addresses (AVADR) . The generated write address and the generated mean address are detected in a first phase detector (33) . When the write addresses (WADR) differ excessively from the mean addresses (AVADR) , as a result of one or more bit justifications, the generation of mean value addresses (AVADR) is then hastened or delayed incrementally, so that the write addresses will pendulate within permissible limits around the mean value addresses. The generated mean value addresses are also used to control the read-out rate. The read address is compared in a second phase detector (40) with a "stuffing value" which relates to the generated mean value address, and if the read address reaches the "stuffing value", this indicates that the buffer read-out rate is too high. When an excessively high readout rate is indicated in the second phase detector, the read-out rate is slowed down.

Abstract: A method for fusing two or more source images (In, n=1 to N) to form a composite image (Ic) with extended information content which may be color augmented and apparatus for forming the composite image from the source images is disclosed. Each source image is decomposed into a number of source images of varying resolution. The decomposed source image a are analyzed using directionally sensitive operators to generate a set of oriented basis functions (Pm, m=1 to N) characteristic of the information content of the original images. The oriented basis functions for the composite image are then selected from those of the different source images and the inverse of the decomposition performed to construct the composite image. Color augmentation provides information as to the relative weighting of the contribution of each source to the composite image.

Abstract: Apparatus, and various accompanying methods, for use in a photographic camera for selecting a lens aperture setting and/or flash output configuration for a full flash exposure. Specifically, the lens aperture setting and/or flash output configuration are selected based upon a difference existing between a first parameter, i.e. a guide number, that indicates the amount of output power that the flash is capable of producing and a second parameter, i.e. a depth number, that indicates the amount of flash illumination required to photograph a scene with a pre-defined depth-of-illumination about a subject situated therein. The flash output configuration can be a spread flash with a selected one of a number of different spread angles, a bounce flash or, if the flash unit is an energy saving type, a reduction in (throttling back) the flash output power.
