CONTROL APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CAMERA SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464344 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CAMERA SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The control apparatus for a camera system includes correction members on the image pickup apparatus and lens apparatus, with instructions stored in memory for controlling image stabilization and correcting trapezoidal distortion in image blur.

  • The control apparatus utilizes two correction members to provide image stabilization.
  • The processor executes instructions to control image stabilization based on correction ratios.
  • The apparatus can electronically correct trapezoidal distortion in image blur.
  • The system offers the option to provide image stabilization without correcting trapezoidal distortion.

Potential Applications

  • Professional photography
  • Videography
  • Surveillance systems
  • Medical imaging

Problems Solved

  • Image stabilization in camera systems
  • Correcting trapezoidal distortion in images
  • Enhancing image quality

Benefits

  • Improved image stabilization
  • Enhanced image quality
  • Versatile control options for different scenarios


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus for use in a camera system that includes a first correction member provided on one of an image pickup apparatus and a lens apparatus detachable from the image pickup apparatus, and a second correction member provided on the other of the image pickup apparatus and the lens apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to control image stabilization using first control configured to provide image stabilization based on a first correction ratio between image stabilization using the first correction member and image stabilization using the second correction member and to electronically correct a trapezoidal distortion in an image blur, or second control configured to provide image stabilization based on a second correction ratio between image stabilization using the first correction member and image stabilization using the second correction member without electronically correcting the trapezoidal distortion in an image blur.
