Title: Nobuyuki Matsukawa: Innovator in Noise Suppression and Imaging Technology
Introduction
Nobuyuki Matsukawa is a prominent inventor based in Yokosuka, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of noise suppression and imaging technology, holding a total of 6 patents. His innovative work has paved the way for advancements in video signal processing and image capture.
Latest Patents
Matsukawa's latest patents include a noise suppressing circuit using luminance detection. This technique achieves optimal noise suppression for video signals that vary in noise levels according to brightness. The invention features a low-luminance detecting section that identifies video signals of relatively low luminance. A suppression amount setting section generates a noise suppression amount that increases as the luminance decreases. The noise suppressing circuit then effectively reduces noise based on this generated amount.
Another notable patent is the wide-angle image pickup apparatus. This invention alternates the writing of pixel signals from an image pickup device in both a standard image pickup region and a camera shake correction region into two separate memories. By adjusting the number of lines of the video signal during readout, the apparatus can produce a moving image as a wide-angle image. Additionally, it can output all line signals from the memory to create a wider angle still image.
Career Highlights
Matsukawa is currently employed at the Victor Company of Japan, Limited, where he continues to innovate and develop new technologies. His work has significantly impacted the industry, particularly in enhancing video quality and image capture techniques.
