An imaging apparatus includes: a first display panel unit for executing display toward a user side; a second display panel unit for executing display toward a subject side; an imaging processing unit for subjecting incident light from the subject side to photoelectric conversion to obtain a captured image signal; a recording processing unit for executing a recording process to a recording medium regarding the captured image signal obtained at the imaging processing unit; and a control unit for controlling the display states of the first display panel unit and the second display panel unit for each of a plurality of various types of operation periods changing along with the operation of the imaging processing unit or the recording processing unit, and executing display control wherein the first display panel unit and the second display panel unit can have different display content during at least a single operation period.

Imaging apparatus and display control method thereof

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle state control apparatus, a vehicle state control method, and a vehicle that make it possible to perform driving assistant in a drive-through area. In the drive-through area, a display unit, a window control unit, and the like in addition to a steering mechanism, a braking device, an engine, a driving motor, and a headlamp (not shown) are appropriately controlled on the basis of a result of image recognition output from an MCU to a bus, information supplied from another unit such as a radar and a lidar, and a sensing result from an in-vehicle sensor. That is, in the drive-through area, the state of the vehicle, which includes operations (such as presentation and opening/closing of the window) in addition to driving (travelling), is controlled. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a drive-through area drive control system.

Vehicle state control apparatus, vehicle state control method, and vehicle

The present technology relates to a moving object control apparatus, a moving object control method, and a moving object that make it possible to properly perform driving of a moving object in accordance with a person getting on the moving object or a candidate therefor and a person getting off the moving object or a candidate therefor. The moving object control apparatus includes a driving control unit that performs, on the basis of recognition of at least one of a candidate for getting on the moving object or a candidate for getting off the moving object, acceleration/deceleration control of the moving object. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a moving object such as a bus and a taxi, or a control apparatus that controls automatic driving or semi-automatic driving of the moving object.

Moving object control apparatus, moving object control method, and moving object

The present technology relates to a driving assistant apparatus, a driving assistant method, a moving object, and a program that make it possible to perform appropriate driving assistant. The driving assistant apparatus includes a control unit that performs, on the basis of peripheral vehicle information regarding a peripheral vehicle present in an area corresponding to the number of occupants in a host vehicle, driving assistant processing of the host vehicle. The present technology is applicable to a moving object such as an automobile.

Driving assistant apparatus, driving assistant method, moving object, and program

The present technology relates to an imaging device, a signal processing device, and a vehicle control system enabling proper driving support when a vehicle enters a road from the outside of the road. An imaging device includes: an imaging unit that captures an image of a front of a vehicle; and an object detection unit that performs object detection processing on the basis of the image captured by the imaging unit, wherein the object detection unit changes an object detection method on the basis of a positional relationship between the vehicle and a road where the vehicle enters from an outside. The present technology can be applied to an imaging device installed in, for example, various vehicles that perform driving support.

Imaging device, signal processing device, and vehicle control system

To enable satisfactory simultaneous and widely varied pictures to be obtained, for example, by allowing a common user to obtain an overall picture while the common user performing desired image capturing, or the like. A first image capturing device image-captures a subject to record this image, and also transmits a trigger signal to a second image capturing device. The second image capturing device image-captures an image to record this image in accordance with the trigger signal. Thus, the first and second image capturing devices enable both of an overall image and a zoomed image to be obtained with simultaneous timing.

Image capturing system, image capturing device, and image capturing method

First image data captured by a first image pickup apparatus and second image data captured by a second image pickup apparatus are stored in storing means. Thus, it is possible to correlate images with each other by using identification information of a user or the image pickup apparatus and identification information of an image capturing time, an image capturing position, or an image pickup target (event). Further, the correlated image data is edited on the basis of editing structure data, thereby generating album image data.

Image processing systems and methods for automatically generating image album data from multiple cameras

An imaging apparatus includes: a first display panel unit configured to execute display toward a user side, disposed on an apparatus casing; a second display panel unit configured to execute display toward a subject side, disposed on the apparatus casing; an imaging processing unit configured to subject incident light from the subject side to photoelectric conversion to obtain a captured image signal; and a control unit configured to execute imaging processing control according to the imaging mode setting, and execute display based on the captured image signal obtained by the imaging processing unit with the first display panel unit, while controlling the display operations based on the captured image signal obtained with the imaging processing unit of the second display panel unit, at least according to the imaging mode.
