Abstract: Excellent electrical characteristics are obtained even when an antenna is further assembled to an antenna device provided with an antenna case having only a limited space. An antenna element (31) is formed on an antenna substrate (30) which is arranged upright on an antenna base (20). A planar antenna unit (35) is firmly attached to the antenna base (20) so that a planar antenna unit is positioned directly below the antenna element (31). When the wavelength of the center frequency in the operation frequency band of the planar antenna unit (35) is expressed by .lambda., an interval between an upper surface of the planar antenna unit (35) and a lower end of the antenna element (31) is approximately 0.25.lambda. or more. Thus, radiation directivity of the planar antenna unit (35) within a horizontal surface is permitted to be nondirectional without being affected by the antenna element (31), and excellent gain characteristics can be obtained.

Abstract: A first digital image is acquired of a framed area while illuminating the background and foreground object under a first lighting condition. A second digital image is then acquired of the same framed area while illuminating the background and foreground object under a second lighting condition. Preferably, the first lighting condition illuminates the background without illuminating the foreground object so that a silhouette of the foreground object is acquired in the first image. The second lighting condition illuminates the foreground object (e.g., with frontal lights). Due to the difference in the illumination between the background and silhouette in the first image, an alpha mask can be created from the first acquired image. Using the mask, the background from the second image can be removed and replaced by virtually any other desired background image.
