Abstract
An image sensing apparatus includes: an image sensing section for sensing an image of a subject; a detector for detecting a luminance of the subject; a compressor for compressing a dynamic range of the subject image; and a controller for controlling a compression characteristic to be used in compressing the dynamic range based on a detection result of the detector.
Claims20
An image sensing apparatus comprising:
- an image sensing section for sensing an image of a subject;
- a detector for detecting a luminance of the subject;
- a compressor for compressing a dynamic range of the subject image;
- and
- a controller for controlling a compression characteristic to be used in compressing the dynamic range based on a detection result of the detector.
2 more elements
An image sensing system comprising:
- an image sensing apparatus for sensing an image of a subject;
- and
- an information processor for performing a predetermined computation process, wherein
- the image sensing apparatus and/or the image processor includes a detector for detecting a luminance of the subject, and
