Abstract
Settings (sample settings) are obtained from each CCD camera. A PC calculates an average of the settings sent from all CCD cameras via a distributor. The calculated average is used as new settings for setting up all the CCD cameras again. And the obtained average is sent to each CCD camera through the distributor to set up each CCD camera again.
Claims30
A controller for controlling settings of a plurality of imaging apparatuses, comprising:
- detection means for detecting an imaging state of each of said imaging apparatuses;
- calculation means for calculating first settings of control parameters for each of said imaging apparatuses based on a detection result from said detection means;
- and
- set-up means for setting up each of said imaging apparatuses to said first settings calculated by said calculation means.
A controller for controlling the settings of a plurality of imaging apparatuses, comprising:
- image generation means for generating an image with an average luminance value from the respective images taken by said plurality of imaging apparatuses;
- and
- means for determining the settings of the imaging apparatuses based on the image generated by said image generation means,
- wherein said plurality of imaging apparatuses are set up to the determined settings.
20 The controller according to claim 17, wherein said imaging apparatus includes a CCD camera.
