An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to continuously capture images to sequentially generate image data; a combining unit configured to combine a plurality of sets of the image data generated by the imaging unit to generate composite image data; a display unit configured to display a composite image corresponding to the composite image data generated by the combining unit; an operating unit configured to receive an operation for the image data to be left in the composite image selected from among a plurality of sets of the image data combined into the composite image displayed by the display unit; and a control unit configured to cause the combining unit to combine at least two sets of the image data selected in accordance with the operation of the operating unit to generate a new set of the composite image data.

Imaging apparatus, image processing device, imaging method, and computer-readable recording medium

A location information designating device includes a location confirming image acquiring section, a display control section, an operating unit that designates a target location in the location confirming image displayed in the display; and a communicating unit. The location confirming image acquiring section acquires a location confirming image by which location information is confirmable. The display control section displays the acquired location confirming image in a display. The operating unit designates a target location in the location confirming image displayed in the display. The communicating unit transmits, to an external information device, information of the designated target location and the acquired location confirming image together with a request for an action to be performed by a user of the external information device.

Location information designating device, location information designating method, and non-transitory storage medium in which location information designating program is stored

A display apparatus includes a display unit that displays plural images corresponding to plural image data, respectively, the plural image data being associated with plural pieces of position information which are different from one another; a display position converter that converts the position information associated with each image into display position information that reflects a positional relationship relative to the position information of another image on a display screen of the display unit; and a display controller that causes the display unit to display the plural images based upon the display position information of each image converted by the display position converter.

Display apparatus, display method, and computer-readable recording medium

A camera according to the present invention comprises: an imaging section converting an object image into image data; a storage section storing still image data of a still image obtained by the imaging section, thumbnail image data of the still image, and moving image data of a moving image which has been photographed at timing at least either before or after photographing of the still image; a display section performing display of one or more thumbnail views according to the thumbnail image data; and a display control section, when one of the thumbnail views is designated in the thumbnail view display, performing display of the still image on the display section according to the still image data corresponding to the designated thumbnail view after having performed display of the moving image according to the moving image data corresponding to the designated thumbnail view stored in the storage section.

Camera and method for recording image files

An image synthesis apparatus acquires one or plural images including one or plural pictures of one person or plural people as an object, determines an aspect of the one or plural pictures, extracts a part of the one or plural pictures in accordance with the aspect of the one or plural pictures and synthesizes the extracted one or plural images.

Image pickup apparatus and photographing method of image pickup apparatus

There is a need for an object recognition apparatus for identifying multiple objects separately or collectively and a method therefor. An object recognition apparatus is configured to include: an image output section acquiring multiple object images and outputting an image; a detection section detecting the multiple object images in the image; a first identification section identifying the detected multiple object images; and a second identification section identifying the detected multiple object images collectively.

Object recognition apparatus, object recognition method and object recognition program

A photographing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: an imaging section converting an object image into image data; a photographing section obtaining the image data from the imaging section in response to release operation and also obtaining the image data of continuous shooting from the imaging section before or after the release operation; a trimming section generating trimming images sequentially for frames in different areas, respectively, using the image data of the continuous shooting; and a control section recording the trimming image generated in the trimming section and the image data obtained in the release operation.

Photographing apparatus

A portable device includes an imaging unit that captures an image of an object and generates image data of the object, a display unit that displays an image of the image data, an input unit that receives input of an operation instruction on an operation performed by the portable device, a moving-state determining unit that determines a moving state of the portable device when the potable device captures an image, and a control unit that changes a content of the operation instruction received by the input unit, depending on a determination result of the moving-state determining unit.
