IMAGING ELEMENT, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355639 titled 'IMAGING ELEMENT, IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an imaging element that has various components for reading, storing, processing, and outputting image data. - The reading portion of the element reads out captured image data at a certain frame rate. - The storage portion is responsible for storing the image data. - The processing portion processes the image data. - The output portion outputs the processed image data at a lower frame rate than the reading portion. - The reading portion reads out the image data of multiple frames simultaneously. - The storage portion stores each image data read out by the reading portion in parallel. - The processing portion performs generation processing to create output image data of one frame using the image data from multiple frames stored in the storage portion.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging element incorporates a reading portion that reads out captured image data at a first frame rate, a storage portion that stores the image data, a processing portion that processes the image data, and an output portion that outputs the processed image data at a second frame rate lower than the first frame rate. The reading portion reads out the image data of each of a plurality of frames in parallel. The storage portion stores, in parallel, each image data read out in parallel by the reading portion. The processing portion performs generation processing of generating output image data of one frame using the image data of each of the plurality of frames stored in the storage portion.
