The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device, a signal processing method therefor, and an electronic apparatus enabling sensitivity correction in which a sensitivity difference between solid-state imaging devices is suppressed. The solid-state imaging device includes a pixel unit in which one microlens is formed for a plurality of pixels in a manner such that a boundary of the microlens coincides with boundaries of the pixels. The correction circuit corrects a sensitivity difference between the pixels inside the pixel unit based on a correction coefficient. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a solid-state imaging device and the like.

Solid-state imaging device, signal processing method therefor, and electronic apparatus for enabling sensitivity correction

The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, an image sensor, an information processing device, and a program that facilitate cancellation of a locked state. An image processing device includes: a detection unit that detects a predetermined state, using data from a plurality of sensors; and an imaging unit that captures an image of a predetermined object, in a case where the predetermined state is detected by the detection unit. The image processing device further includes a plurality of input interfaces that input the data from the plurality of sensors. When an application processor switches from an activated state to a non-activated state, detection by the detection unit is started. The present technology can be applied to a smartphone, for example.

Image processing device, image processing method, image sensor, and information processing device

Solid-state imaging device and electronic apparatus having a pixel unit with one microlens and a correction circuit

A signal processing unit; includes: a high-frequency signal determination section configured to determine whether a reference region as a peripheral region of a phase difference pixel is a high-frequency signal region in a specific direction based on a pixel signal output from an image pickup section having the phase difference pixel disposed therein; and a synthetic ratio determination section configured to, when the reference region is determined to be not the high-frequency signal region in the specific direction, determine, using a pixel difference of the reference region, a synthetic ratio of an interpolated value of the phase difference pixel by a gain multiple interpolation technique to an interpolated value of the phase difference pixel by a peripheral pixel interpolation technique.

Signal processing unit and signal processing method

A memory section provides an input buffer capable of holding image data being a processing target of each processing by an image processing unit, and an output buffer capable of holding image data being a processing result. Through an input section, a user selects a plurality of kinds of processing to be executed by the image processing unit, and an execution sequence of the plurality of kinds of processing. A controller section reserves, based on information selected by a user through the input section, an input buffer and an output buffer for each processing in the memory section, sets an input-output connection relation between the buffers, and notifies, based on the set connection relation, the image processing unit of address information of the input buffer in the memory section and the output buffer for each processing sequentially executed by the image processing unit.
