Abstract: an image processing apparatus acquires image data and first information relating to a maximum luminance value of an output dynamic range of the image data. the apparatus then applies, to the image data, processing in which a luminance value of the image data and a first value based on the first information are used. in a case in which the image data is encoded in a first numerical range and the first information is encoded in a second numerical range that is different from the first numerical range, the apparatus applies the processing to the image data after converting the image data, the first information, or the first value so that the image data and the first value have values if the image data and the first value would have been encoded in a same numerical range.

Inventor(s): Shinji HISAMOTO of Kanagawa (JP) for canon kabushiki kaisha

IPC Code(s): H04N23/741, G06T7/50, H04N5/265, H04N23/667



Abstract: an image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of an object. an evaluation area for determining exposure level differences applied when hdr image capturing is performed by the image capturing unit is set. depth information in the evaluation area is acquired. image capturing conditions are determined so as to make each of all objects in the evaluation area focused in at least one of a plurality of images captured by changing a depth of focus based on the depth information. the image capturing unit is controlled to perform the hdr image capturing according to the image capturing conditions. hdr images are generated by combining images obtained by performing hdr image capturing according to each image capturing condition. a depth combined image is generated from the plurality of combined hdr images.

Inventor(s): AIHIKO NUMATA of Tokyo (JP) for canon kabushiki kaisha

IPC Code(s): H04N25/625



Abstract: a photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a photoelectric conversion element including a pixel area where a plurality of pixels composed of avalanche photodiodes for photoelectrically converting an optical image is two-dimensionally arranged, the photoelectric conversion element being configured to simultaneously read signals from a first pixel group and a second pixel group in the pixel area, at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to generate an image based on the read signals, acquire characteristic information regarding crosstalk between the plurality of pixels, generate correction information based on the characteristic information, and perform a correction process on the image using the correction information. correction information different between the first and second pixel groups is generated.

Inventor(s): Yuki Tsujimaru of Kanagawa (JP) for canon kabushiki kaisha

IPC Code(s): H04W28/06, H04L1/00



Abstract: a communication apparatus capable of performing wireless communication conforming to the ieee 802.11 standard includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a wireless frame having preambles and data fields of a physical layer (phy). the preambles include a legacy short training field (l-stf), a legacy long training field (l-ltf), a legacy signal field (l-sig), an extremely high throughput signal a field (eht-sig-a), an eht short training field (eht-stf), and an eht long training field (eht-ltf). the eht-sig-a includes information about preamble puncturing in a case where a 320 mhz frequency bandwidth is to be used by the communication apparatus.
