Abstract
According to one embodiment, an imaging apparatus including an imaging module that outputs imaging data for each color component including a synchronization code, a synchronization detecting module that detects a synchronization code from imaging data output from the imaging module, a data holding module that temporarily holds video data for each color component output from the imaging module, and a synchronization module that aligns the phases of video data for each color component held by the data holding module.
Claims11
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an imaging module configured to output imaging data for each color component of a plurality of color components, where each color component includes a synchronization code;
- a synchronization detecting module configured to detect the synchronization code from the imaging data for each color component output from the imaging module;
- a data holding module configured to temporarily hold the imaging data for each color component output from the imaging module in accordance with the synchronization code detected by the synchronization detecting module;
- and
- a synchronization module configured to output the imaging data for each color component temporarily held by the data holding module after applying a delay for one or more color components of the plurality of color components and aligning the imaging data for each color component based on the delay and the synchronization code.
A controller of an imaging device of apart from an imaging head comprising:
- a detecting module configured to detect a synchronization code from imaging data of each color component of a plurality of color components;
- a data holding module configured to temporarily hold the imaging data of each color component in accordance with the synchronization code;
- and
- a synchronization module configured to output the imaging data for each color component temporarily held by the data holding module after applying a delay for one or more color components of the plurality of color components and to align phases of the imaging data for each color component held by the data holding module based on the delay and the synchronization code.
A signal processing method for an imaging apparatus comprising:
