Abstract
A compact film player has a picture reproducing unit and an information reading unit capable of reading a photographing information on each frame of the film. When a developed film is fed in an inlet of the picture reproducing unit in a prescribed direction, a scan mirror scans a picture provided on the film perpendicularly to the feed direction, so that a line sensor takes the picture every line. The line sensor and the scan mirror read two-dimensional pictures provided on the film. When the picture of the frame previously read is on display, the scan of the next frame is effected.
Claims32
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor which senses an image at one of a plurality of selected resolutions and produces image data;
- a data reader which reads image information corresponding to said sensed image;
- and
- a selector which selects one of said resolutions based on the image information read by said data reader.
An image processing apparatus for processing an image based on image information corresponding to the image, said apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor which senses an image and produced image data;
- a data reader which reads image information corresponding said sensed
- a data processor which varies the amount of image data based on a relationship between the image information read by said data reader and a resolution of a display device on which said image is displayed, and outputs the image data.
An image processing method, comprising the steps of:
- sensing an image recorded on a recording medium;
- producing image data from the sensed image;
- reading image information corresponding to the image;
- and
- varying the amount of image data based on the image information read during said reading step.
An image processing method, comprising the steps of:
- sensing an image recorded on a recording medium;
- producing image data from the sensed image;
- reading image information corresponding to said sensed image;
- and
- controlling resolution of the image data based on the image information read during said reading step.
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image sensor which senses an image recorded on a recording medium and produces image data;
- a data reader which reads image information corresponding to said sensed image;
- a data processor which varies the amount of image data based on the image information read by said data reader;
- and
- a memory which stores the processed image data.
A digital still image recording apparatus having at least three modes of processing image data, comprising:
- an image sensor which senses an image and produces image data;
- a selector which selects one of the modes at each sensing by said image sensor;
- a processor which varies the amount of image data based on the mode selected by said selector;
- and
- a memory which stores the processed image data.
A digital still image recording apparatus having at least three modes of processing image data, comprising:
- an image sensor which senses an image and produces image data;
- a selector which selects one of the modes at each sensing by said image sensor;
- and
- a processor which extracts a part of image data that forms a part of the sensed image so as to vary the amount of image data when at least one of the three modes is selected by said selector;
- and
- a memory controller which causes a memory to store the processed image.
