Abstract: When a shutter button 37 is depressed (S1) after
a stroboscopic image pickup mode is set (S0), an image
pickup unit determines a pre-light emission quantity
and sends a light emission quantity control pulse to
a strobe light emitter to make it carry out a pre-light
emission (S2). Then, the image pickup unit detects a
light quantity of a picked-up image of an object at the
time of the strobe light emission (S3), and determines
whether the light quantity is proper or not as the
image pickup light quantity (S4). If the light
quantity of the image of the object picked up by the
pre-light emission is within a range of proper values,
the taken-in image is recorded as a photographed image
(S8). On the other hand, if the light quantity is not
proper, a light quantity necessary for the image pickup
is determined based on the light quantity of the taken-in
image of the object (S6) and makes a strobe carry
out a main light emission. Then, the image picked up
by the main light emission is taken in (S7) and this is
recorded as a photographed image (S8). Accordingly, if
the light quantity of an image of the object picked up
by the pre-light emission is within a range of proper
values, it is not necessary to carry out an additional
light emission or an image pickup operation.

Abstract: AN image signal processing method and system,
which can greatly reduce the data size upon transmitting
an image signal or storing the signal in a storage
medium, and can obtain a high-quality image by
preventing image quality after color processing from
deteriorating. According to the method for processing an
image signal output from an image sensing element, a
compression step of compressing the image signal and an
expansion step of expanding the compressed image signal
are executed without executing color processing for
executing at least white balance correction or γ
correction, and the color processing is executed after
completion of the compression and expansion steps,
thereby preventing occurrence of block noise and
high-frequency noise associated with
compressing/expanding image data after the color
processing of the image signal.

Abstract: A centralized collateral management operation system that includes a collateral management
system (CMS) provider linked to a trading group--a plurality of users (e.g., individuals, corporations,
financial institutions, and the like). The method allows the CMS provider to dynamically determine
anticipatory collateral value and mark to market (MTM) collateral obligations for each of the users'
sub-portfolios. The provider is then able to notify each of the users of their MTM and anticipatory
collateral obligations for their respective sub-portfolios, and issue "Collateral Credits." The
Collateral Credits allow the CMS provider to efficiently allocate the amount of collateral posted by
each member of the trading group to protect against present losses and potential future losses due
to the inability of the user to meet its obligations. The system provides equivalent collateral
protection as a fully collateralized bilateral system while decreasing individual collateral
requirements.
