EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17973207 titled 'EVALUATION APPARATUS, EVALUATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image evaluation apparatus that includes an image capturing device with a blur correction function, a vibration control unit, a vibration detection unit, a memory, and a processor. The processor compares the input waveform with the waveform of the vibration detection result and performs a captured image evaluation based on the blur correction function.
- The image evaluation apparatus includes a blur correction function in the image capturing device.
- A vibration control unit is used to vibrate the image capturing device based on an input waveform.
- A vibration detection unit detects the vibration of the image capturing unit.
- The processor compares the input waveform with the waveform of the vibration detection result.
- The captured image evaluation is performed based on the blur correction function and the captured image result of a subject.
- The processor only performs captured image evaluation if the difference between the waveform of the vibration detection result and the input waveform is within a predetermined range.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Photography: The image evaluation apparatus can be used in cameras or smartphones to improve image quality by evaluating and correcting blurriness caused by vibrations.
- Videography: The apparatus can be used in video cameras or smartphones to enhance video quality by evaluating and correcting blurriness caused by vibrations during recording.
- Medical imaging: The technology can be applied in medical imaging devices to improve the clarity of captured images by compensating for vibrations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Blurry images: The apparatus addresses the problem of capturing blurry images caused by vibrations by evaluating and correcting the blur using the blur correction function.
- Inaccurate evaluation: The technology ensures that the captured image evaluation is only performed when the difference between the vibration detection result and the input waveform is within a predetermined range, ensuring accurate assessment of the blur correction function.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: By evaluating and correcting blurriness caused by vibrations, the technology enhances the overall image quality, resulting in sharper and clearer images.
- Accurate evaluation: The apparatus ensures that the captured image evaluation is performed accurately by considering the difference between the vibration detection result and the input waveform, providing reliable assessment of the blur correction function.
- Versatile applications: The technology can be applied in various fields such as photography, videography, and medical imaging, offering a wide range of applications for improving image quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image evaluation apparatus comprises an image capturing device configured to include a blur correction function, a vibration control unit configured to vibrate the image capturing device based on an input waveform, a vibration detection unit that detects the vibration of the image capturing unit, a memory storing instructions, and a processor executing the instructions causing the image evaluation apparatus to compare the input waveform with the waveform of the vibration detection result that was detected by the vibration detection unit, and perform a captured image evaluation that is an evaluation of the blur correction function based on a captured image result of a subject by the image capturing device, wherein the processor performs captured image evaluation in a case in which it has been determined that the difference of the waveform of the vibration detection result with respect to the input waveform is within a predetermined range.
