Abstract
A digital camera is provided with a display for displaying an image of an object and a specifying unit for specifying a plurality of measuring points on the display. An actual area of a region surrounded by the plurality of measuring points specified by the specifying unit are calculated by a calculator.
Claims20
A digital camera, comprising:
- a display for displaying an image of an object;
- a specifying unit for specifying a plurality of measuring points on said display;
- and
- a calculator for calculating an actual area of a region surrounded by said plurality of measuring points specified by said specifying unit.
1 more element
A method for calculating an area of an object in a digital camera, including the steps of:
- displaying an image of the object on a display;
- calculating a distance from said digital camera to each of a plurality of measuring points specified on said display;
- calculating an angle of each of said plurality of measuring points relative to said camera;
- and
- calculating an actual area of a region surrounded by said plurality of measuring points based on said calculated distances and said angles.
2 more elements
A digital camera, comprising:
- a display for displaying an image of an object;
- a specifying unit for specifying a plurality of measuring points on said display;
- a first detector for detecting a distance from said digital camera to each of said plurality of measuring points of the object;
- a second detector for detecting an angle of each of said plurality of measuring points relative to said camera;
- a third detector for detecting a photographing direction;
- and
- a calculator for calculating a relative position of each of said plurality of measuring points relative to a photographing position based on detected results of said first, second and third detectors.
4 more elements
