CONTROL APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129629 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The control apparatus described in the patent application is designed for use in an imaging system to provide image stabilization. It includes two correcting members, one attached to the image pickup apparatus and the other to the lens apparatus, both movable for image stabilization. The apparatus acquires correction ratios for angular shake and shift shake of the imaging system from these correcting members.
- First correcting member and second correcting member are movable for image stabilization in the imaging system.
- First correcting member is attached to the image pickup apparatus, while the second correcting member is attached to the lens apparatus.
- Correction ratios for angular shake and shift shake of the imaging system are acquired from the first and second correcting members.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in:
- Professional photography equipment
- Video recording devices
- Surveillance cameras
Problems Solved
The technology addresses:
- Image blurring due to camera shake
- Improper alignment of images
- Distorted images caused by movement
Benefits
The technology offers:
- Improved image quality
- Enhanced stability in imaging systems
- Better performance in low-light conditions
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in:
- Camera manufacturing industry
- Security and surveillance systems
- Medical imaging devices
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of gyroscopic sensors in cameras for image stabilization.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control apparatus communicate with the correcting members to adjust for shake in real-time?
The patent application does not provide details on the communication mechanism between the control apparatus and the correcting members.
What materials are the correcting members made of to ensure durability and precision in image stabilization?
The patent application does not specify the materials used for the correcting members or their construction details.
