Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A video delivery terminal includes: an image capturer configured to perform image capture to generate an image of a subject; and a developing processor configured to crop an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image, perform first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image, and perform second adjustment regarding settings of the image based on characteristics of the image having undergone the first adjustment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A video delivery terminal comprising: an image capturer configured to perform image capture to generate an image of a subject; and a developing processor configured to crop an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image, perform first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image, and perform second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment includes adjusting at least one of exposure time and an aperture of the image capturer. 2. A video delivery terminal comprising: an image capturer configured to perform image capture to generate an image of a subject; and a developing processor configured to crop an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image, perform first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image, and perform second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include at least one of gain adjustment, gamma correction adjustment, and contrast adjustment. 3. A video delivery terminal comprising: an image capturer configured to perform image capture to generate an image of a subject; and a developing processor configured to crop an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image, perform first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image, and perform second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include white balance adjustment. 4. The video delivery terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second adjustment is performed on settings different from settings of the first adjustment. 5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable program codes, performed by a processor, the program codes when executed causing the processor to execute: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment includes adjusting at least one of exposure time and an aperture of the image capturer. 6. A video delivery method comprising: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment includes adjusting at least one of exposure time and an aperture of the image capturer. 7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable program codes, performed by a processor, the program codes when executed causing the processor to execute: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include at least one of gain adjustment, gamma correction adjustment, and contrast adjustment. 8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable program codes, performed by a processor, the program codes when executed causing the processor to execute: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include white balance adjustment. 9. A video delivery method comprising: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include at least one of gain adjustment, gamma correction adjustment, and contrast adjustment. 10. A video delivery method comprising: performing image capture to generate an image of a subject; cropping an area of a portion of the image to generate a cropped image; performing first adjustment regarding the cropped image based on characteristics of the cropped image; and performing second adjustment regarding the image including the cropped image having undergone the first adjustment, wherein the first adjustment and the second adjustment include white balance adjustment.
