A determining unit determines which one of a plurality of divided areas in color distribution a value of an input image single falls within. The plurality of divided areas are defined for each of R, G, and B color components, and the determining unit determines, for each color component, which one of the plurality of divided areas the value of the input image signal falls within. An image correcting unit reads correction coefficients corresponding to the determined divided area for each color component from a correction coefficient storing unit in which correction coefficients are registered for each of the color components and each of the divided areas. The image correcting unit calculates each of R, G, and B output values of an output image signal using the correction coefficients of the individual color components read from the correction coefficient storing unit.

Image processing apparatus and image pickup apparatus

A memory unit stores as conversion information which is derived based on a correction coefficient which provides, in a predetermined allowable range from a minimum value, a sum of a norm of a difference between a color difference of a correction target color and a target color which is a target of correction of the correction target color and a correction color obtained by correcting the correction target color using the correction coefficient, and a norm of the correction coefficient to which a predetermined weight coefficient is applied. A color correcting unit converts a color of each pixel of an image captured by an image capturing unit based on the conversion information.

Device and computer-readable recording medium for imaging and image processing with color correction

A magneto-optical head including a lens forming a light spot on a storage disk, a magnetic field generating coil arranged between the lens and the disk to surround the optical center of the lens, and an annular heat sink arranged around the coil. The distance between the outer circumference of the coil and the inner circumference of the heat sink is 70&#x2013;100 &#x3bc;m.

Magneto-optical head and magneto-optical disk drive

An optical head includes a lens carrier movable at least radially of a magneto-optical disk in facing relation thereto. An object lens is mounted on the lens carrier to converge a laser beam for forming a laser spot on the disk. The object lens has an optical axis and includes a lens surface directed toward the disk. A patterned coil is formed on the lens surface at least in one layer and has a light-passing opening corresponding to the optical axis of the object lens. A light-pervious layer is formed on the lens surface for closing the light-passing opening of the coil.

Optical head having object lens and patterned coil

An optical head includes a lens holder for carrying a biconvex lens and a plano-convex lens above a data storage disk. In data-writing or data-reading operation, the plano-convex lens comes closer to the storage disk than the biconvex lens. The plano-convex lens is accommodated in a through-hole formed in the lens holder. The lower opening of the through-hole is closed by a transparent plate attached to the bottom surface of the lens holder. The flat lens surface of the plano-convex lens is held in close contact with the transparent plate.

Optical head and method of making the same

A lens actuator of an optical head for an optical disc drive includes a two-dimensional actuator supported by a carriage via a spring, a second lens held by the two-dimensional actuator, a slider supported by the two-dimensional actuator and floated off a turning optical disc, and a first lens held by the slider. A laser beam is focused on the optical disc by an object lens system which includes the first lens and the second lens. The slider is supported by the two-dimensional actuator via a support having a predetermined spring constant in the focus directions while also having freedom to follow tilting of the optical disc.

Lens actuator

An optical head unit used for an optical disk apparatus is provided. The optical head unit includes an object glass assembly for focusing a laser beam from a light source on an optical disk, an actuator movable at least in a focus control direction, a carriage for supporting the actuator and moving the actuator in a track control direction, and a slider which is attached to the carriage and capable of adjusting its posture in relation to a surface of the optical disk. The object glass assembly is provided with a plurality of lens units. Each lens unit includes at least one lens. One of the plural lens units is supported by the slider.
