Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
An image sensing apparatus having camera-shake detection function comprising: image sensing means (1, 2) for receiving light from an object and converting the same into a video signal, binary coding means (3, 4) for dividing an image sensed picture into a plurality of blocks and binary coding said video signal at a plurality of sampling points in each block by comparing the same with a first reference value determined for each block, distribution data calculating means (5, 6) for calculating data representing the distribution position of the object in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in each block according to said binary coded data for each block, motion vector specifying means (9, 7a) for specifying a motion vector of the object for each block according to said data representing the distribution position of the object, and motion vector selecting means (7a) for selecting a motion vector of the object of an entire image sensed picture by logic process based on said specified motion vectors for respective blocks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said distribution data calculating means comprises means (5b, 5d) detecting the presence of a specified binary coded data in each horizontal line of each block for generating a first data indicating the distribution position of the object in the vertical direction, and means (5a, 5c) detecting the presence of a specific binary coded data in each vertical line of each block for generating a second data indicating the distribution position of the object in the horizontal direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
The image sensing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said distribution data calculating means comprises means for calculating data indicating the center point position of the object in each block according to said first and second data, said motion vector specifying means comprises means to detect the moving distance of the center point of said object between the preceding frame and the current frame in each of said block for specifying a motion vector for each block according to the result.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
84 words
The image sensing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said distribution data calculating means comprises means (100) for generating a first normalized data by integrating said binary coded data in each horizontal line of each block and comparing the result with a second reference value determined for each block, and means (100) for generating a second normalized data by integrating said binary coded data in each vertical line of each block and comparing the result with a third reference value determined for each block.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The image sensing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said motion vector specifying means comprises means (39, 40, 7a) to detect a change in said first and second normalized data between the preceding frame and the current frame for specifying a motion vector for each block according to the result.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
