There is provided an information processing device including an information acquisition unit that acquires information from an information providing device that provides the information related to quantitative numerical values to be grasped by the medical practitioner involved with a medical practice, an image data generation unit that generates image data related to the acquired information, and a control unit that controls an installation position of a light source irradiating drawing light having illuminance visually recognizable under a shadowless lamp or an operation state of an optical system that scans an irradiation position of the drawing light so as to draw the image data.

Information processing device, information processing method, screen, and information drawing system

A monitoring camera includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, the image capturing unit having an image capturing field angle adjustable by a zooming optical system, and a light source having a light emitting diode configured to emit an illuminating radiation. The camera further includes a lens unit configured to apply the illuminating radiation in a direction which is substantially identical to a direction in which the image capturing unit captures the image, and an irradiation moving unit configured to variably set an irradiation range of the illuminating radiation to irradiate an area which is substantially the same as the image capturing field angle of the image capturing unit.

Monitoring camera

There is provided a display control device including a display control unit configured to perform control to display a second image based on image information on a surface of a projection device that projects a first image based on the image information onto a predetermined surface. The first image and the second image correspond to different ranges of a single image that is reproduced from the image information.

Display control device and display control method

In a monitoring system for monitoring parking of a vehicle in a specific area by a monitoring image pick-up device, and a monitoring apparatus, the monitoring image pick-up device includes an image pick-up portion. And the monitoring apparatus includes: a parking area enter/exit determining portion for determining whether or not a vehicle enters or exits from the specific area; an imaging setting change instructing portion for instructing the image pick-up portion to change an imaging setting to another one suitable for capturing a vehicle image containing specific information on the vehicle when it is determined that the vehicle enters or exits from the area; and a parking determining portion for calculating a time for which the vehicle is parked in the area from image capturing time when the vehicle enters the area, and image capturing time when the vehicle exits from the area.

Monitoring system, monitoring apparatus and monitoring method

An imaging apparatus includes: an image creating section imaging a predetermined surveillance range and creating image data; an image processing section in which computing processing means having a predetermined processing ability performs first image processing of detecting an abnormality in the surveillance range in accordance with the image data and generating a first detection signal and second image processing of converting the image data to a predetermined data format in parallel; and a determination processing section determining whether a predetermined subject under surveillance exists in the surveillance range or not based on the first detection signal, generating and supplying a first control signal to the image processing section if it is determined that the subject under surveillance does not exist, and generating and supplying a second control signal to the image processing section if it is determined that the subject under surveillance exists.

Imaging apparatus and control method therefor

There is provided a camera unit used in a communications system having a display section and arranged to exchange sound and images via communication between at least two locations. The camera unit includes a camera section having an image sensor for photoelectrically converting a visual image to an electric signal; a transparent filter section having signal lines for supplying power to the camera section and transferring the image signal supplied thereto from the camera section; a frame section for holding the transparent filter section therein, the frame section having a power input terminal for supplying power to the camera section and a video output terminal for outputting the image signal transferred thereto from the camera section; and attaching members for attaching the frame section holding the transparent filter section therein, to a front surface of a display screen of the display section of the communications system.

Camera unit

An embodiment of the invention provides an image pickup apparatus to which a zoom lens having a variable imaging angle of view is mounted, including: a dynamic body detecting portion for detecting a dynamic body from an image signal obtained by capturing an image; a motion vector detecting portion for detecting a motion vector representing an amount of motion per unit time of the dynamic body detected by the dynamic body detecting portion; a comparing portion for comparing the motion vector detected by the motion vector detecting portion with a reference value; and a control portion for adjusting a set value for an angle of view of the zoom lens based on a comparison result obtained in the comparing portion.

Image pickup apparatus and imaging method for automatic monitoring of an image

An imaging apparatus includes an image creating section for imaging a predetermined surveillance range and creating image data, and a storage processing section converting the image data to a predetermined storage format and creating storage data. A data storage section having a storage medium with a predetermined storage space stores the storage data created by the storage processing section. The apparatus includes a compression processing section for reading storage data stored in the data storage section, and compressing the storage data and creating compressed data. A determination processing section detects the data storage amount of the storage data stored in the data storage section, supplies a compression control signal to the compression processing section in accordance with the detection result and supplies the storage control signal to the data storage section.
