Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DSC (Digital Still Camera) system capable of reducing the configuration and energy consumption and producing an image with a small loss on a network. SOLUTION: A digital camera includes: a sensor 205 for sensing an image and producing a first signal; a Bayer pattern producer 210 coupled to the sensor and structured to produce a Bayer pattern from the first signal; a splitter 212 that splits the Bayer pattern into separate color channels; a compressor 220 for compressing the color channels into a compressed image; and an output interface 226 for transmitting the compressed image over a communication channel. The digital camera also includes: a color interpolator 214 that is structured to perform a modification on each of the color channels produced by the splitter 212 prior to transmission of the color channels to the compressor 220. A multimedia packer 222 packs multimedia data in a unique format and transmits the result to the output interface 226 to be connected to a wireless network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: Presented is a digital camera, comprising: a sensor (205) for sensing an image and producing a first signal; a Bayer pattern producer (210) coupled to said sensor (205) and structured to produce a Bayer pattern from said first signal; a splitter (212) structured to split said Bayer pattern into separate color channels; a compressor (220) for compressing said color channels into a compressed image; an output interface (226) structured to transmit said compressed image on a communication channel; and a color interpreter structured to perform a modification on exactly one of said color channels from said splitter (212) prior to sending said color channels to said compressor (220). Additionally described is a network that operates with said digital camera to perform certain functions, as directed by a user of said digital camera.
