In a learning device, a first learning unit performs first machine learning using first training data including a first evaluation result for an evaluation target image to generate a first learned model outputting a second evaluation result for an input image, an evaluation unit uses the first learned model to acquire a plurality of the second evaluation results for a plurality of the input images, a generation unit selects a second image quality parameter from a plurality of first image quality parameters having different values, based on the plurality of the second evaluation results and generates second training data including the selected second image quality parameter, and a second learning unit performs second machine learning using the second training data to generate a second learned model outputting a third image quality parameter used for processing a processing target image.

Learning device, image processing device, parameter generation device, learning method, and image processing method

An image capturing apparatus that includes one or more image sensors configured to capture a plurality of images and store the captured images in a memory. The apparatus also includes a circuitry that detects an input trigger and continues to capture new images in response to the trigger. The numbers of new images captured are equal in magnitude to half the magnitude of the capacity of the memory. The first new image captured after detecting the trigger is tagged as a reference image. In response to the number of new images captured, the sensors are deactivated and the reference image is displayed immediately on a display panel. On detecting an input operation, the apparatus displays a target image from the plurality of images captured in a quick and efficient manner.

Device and method for capturing images and switching images through a drag operation

A processing unit includes a direction decision unit and a guide information generation unit. The direction decision unit decides a direction in which a person who behaves without a sense of sight walks. The guide information generation unit generates guide information for the person who behaves without the sense of sight to walk in the decided direction. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a smartphone or the like used by the person who behaves without the sense of sight.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus that includes a camera unit including an imaging sensor that captures an image; a display that displays an image; and a processor that: clips an image region having a size corresponding to a photography zoom power from an image captured by the camera unit; adjusts a clipping position at a time of clipping the image region from the image; and controls the display to display the clipped image region on the display.

Image photography apparatus

A method to improve convenience for providing a coupon with the use of a spatial or temporal modulation component added to light that can be captured while a service is being used. Provided is a method for providing a coupon by using a terminal device and at least one server configured to provide a service to the terminal device, the method includes capturing light while the service is being used, transmitting key information based on a spatial or temporal modulation component of the light to the server, and receiving coupon information related to the service transmitted from the server by using the terminal device; and receiving the key information from the terminal device and issuing the coupon information in accordance with the key information by using the server.

Method and system for providing coupon

There is provided a processing unit that includes a direction decision unit and a guide information generation unit. The direction decision unit determines a direction in which a person who behaves without a sense of sight walks. The guide information generation unit generates guide information for the person who behaves without the sense of sight to walk in the determined direction. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a smartphone or the like used by the person who behaves without the sense of sight.

Discussed herein is an information processing device that displays information in an effective manner on a display screen of the device. A portion of the total data is displayed on the screen when the total data exceeds the amount of data that can be displayed on the screen at a given time. The information processing apparatus characterizes the portions of data as already-read data portions and unread data portions, based on a speed of a scrolling operation performed when the corresponding data portion is displayed on the device. Further, the apparatus also provides a visual indication for each already-read data portion on the display screen of the device. Thus, a user can correctly identify data portions that have been already read and data portions that are yet to be read.

Device and method for displaying information

An information processing apparatus that stores a plurality of pieces of audio data, displays information corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of audio data, receives an input selecting at least one of the plurality of pieces of audio data, reproduces a first piece of the plurality of pieces of audio data, and initiates simultaneous reproduction of a second piece of the plurality of pieces of audio data based on an input received at the interface, processes the first and second pieces of the audio data such that the first and second pieces of the audio data are separately audible by the user, and outputs the processed first and second pieces of the audio data.

Sound processing device, sound data selecting method and sound data selecting program

Device and method for capturing images and selecting a desired image by tilting the device

A terminal device includes circuitry configured to acquire designated image data stored in a memory. The circuitry may sort the designated image data based on a time at which the designated image data was captured. The circuitry may divide the sorted image data into a plurality of time slots and calculate, based on features of the designated image data corresponding to each time slot of the plurality of time slots, a time slot score for each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may allocate, based on the time slot score, a portion of a digest video to each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may generate, for each time slot, a local digest video by assigning an amount of the designated image data to the local digest video corresponding to the time slot, and generate the digest video by connecting the generated local digest videos.
