==IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965044 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an image capturing unit that includes a photoelectric conversion element, an integration unit, and a determination unit. 

* The photoelectric conversion element detects changes in luminance in each pixel address.
* The integration unit generates a frame image by integrating the address events for each pixel.
* The determination unit determines if the integrated value has reached a predetermined threshold.
* If the threshold is reached, the determination unit stops the integration process in the integration unit.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Digital cameras and smartphones with improved image capturing capabilities.
* Surveillance systems with enhanced image processing and analysis.
* Medical imaging devices for better diagnostic accuracy.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Overexposure or underexposure in images can be avoided by stopping integration at a predetermined threshold.
* The technology helps in capturing clear and well-exposed images even in challenging lighting conditions.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved image quality and accuracy due to the integration of address events.
* Efficient use of resources by stopping integration when the desired threshold is reached.
* Enhanced user experience with better image capturing capabilities.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image capturing unit comprises a photoelectric conversion element configured to detect an address event indicating a change in luminance in each pixel address, an integration unit configured to generate a frame image based on an integrated value obtained by integrating an address event for each pixel, and a determination unit configured to determine whether an integrated value has reached a predetermined threshold value. The determination unit is configured to stop integration in the integration unit when it determines that the integrated value has reached a predetermined threshold value.
