Способ формирования видеосигнала "кольцевого" кадра в телевизионной камере для панорамного компьютерного наблюдения в условиях сложной освещённости и/или сложной яркости объектов

Изобретение относится к панорамному компьютерному наблюдению, которое выполняется при помощи монохромной или цветной телевизионной камеры кругового обзора в области, близкой к полусфере, выполненной на базе «кольцевого» сенсора («кольцевого» фотоприемника). Техническим результатом является организация в автоматическом режиме повышения чувствительности фрагментов «кольцевого» кадра путем увеличения для них времени накопления. Результат достигается тем, что «кольцевая» мишень фотоприемника разделена на изолированные друг от друга фотоприемные области, которые при параллельно действующем управлении процессами фотоприема и развертки имеют форму в виде части кругового кольца, при этом величина управляющего напряжения и соответственно длительность накопления зарядов за кадр определяются раздельно для каждой этой отдельно взятой мишени по пиковому значению видеосигнала, формируемого на выходе сенсора в течение соответствующего временного интервала в пределах прямого хода по кадру. 2 з.п. ф-лы, ...

Lens driving device

A lens driving device includes a box-shaped yoke, a tubular carrier, a coil, a magnet, and a base. The carrier has a first opening in which a lens can be installed. The carrier is held in the yoke for moving from a top dead point to a bottom dead point. The coil is provided on an outer periphery of the carrier. The magnet is provided facing the coil. The base has a second opening on its bottom, and is provided adjacent to the carrier at a side of the moving direction of the carrier. The base has a tubular protrusion formed protruding upward from an outer periphery of its second opening. The tubular protrusion overlaps with the carrier in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the carrier wherever the carrier moves between the top dead point and the bottom dead point.

Lens drive device

The lens drive device is equipped with a first supporting body that holds the lens and is movable in the direction of the optical axis, a second supporting body that holds the first supporting body, a fixed body that holds the second supporting body in a manner enabling movement in directions that are roughly orthogonal to the optical axis direction, a first drive mechanism for driving the first supporting body, a second drive mechanism for driving the second supporting body in a first direction, and a third drive mechanism for driving the second supporting body in a second direction. The first supporting body is supported by the second supporting body by means of first supporting members ( 8, 9 ), which are formed from an elastic material; and the second supporting body is supported by the fixed body by means of second supporting members, which are formed from an elastic material.

Lens barrel that changes focal length and image pickup apparatus equipped with lens barrel

A lens barrel that is capable of decreasing a barrel length under a retracted condition by simplifying a configuration. The lens barrel changes a focal length by moving first and second lens groups in an optical axis direction. A light-amount adjusting member is located between the first and second lens groups. First, second, third holding frames hold the first lens group, the second lens group, and the light-amount adjusting member, respectively. A cam mechanism moves the first, second, and third holding frames in the optical axis direction so that a part of the second lens group is inserted into the aperture of the light-amount adjusting member and concave and convex surfaces of the first and second lens groups are overlapped in the optical axis direction under a retracted condition.
