The present disclosure includes a video transmission apparatus, a video reception apparatus, an image transmission apparatus, an image reception apparatus, and a system. The image transmission apparatus includes a detection circuitry, a generation circuitry, and a transmission circuitry. The generation circuitry is configured to generate a first image based on a first piece of positional information from a plurality of pieces of positional information, the first image including the overlap region and corresponding to a first region of interest of two or more regions of interest. The generation circuitry is also configured to generate one or more second images based on an overlap region and the plurality of pieces of positional information, the one or more second images excluding the overlap region and corresponding to regions of interest other than the first region of interest of the two or more regions of interest.

Video transmission apparatus and video reception apparatus

Provided is a control device including: an imaging control section that controls imaging in an imaging device; and a detecting section that detects a photographic subject on a basis of a first captured image in which a detection region set at a part within a field angle of the imaging device has been imaged. The imaging control section makes the imaging device perform imaging of the detection region or imaging of an acquisition region set within the field angle of the imaging device, and in a case where the photographic subject has been detected on a basis of the first captured image, the imaging control section makes the imaging device perform imaging of the acquisition region.

Control device, control method, and program

The present invention is to provide a characteristic value generating circuit and an imaging device that can generate anticipated variation in the performance of an imaging device due to the individual difference and can easily evaluate the result of correction processing for the variation. A variation generating circuithas a command receiverthat acquires characteristic value data S, a characteristic value generatorthat refers to the characteristic value data Sand generates a characteristic value of a limit of correction possibility for input image data S, and an adderthat adds a characteristic limit value Sgenerated by the characteristic value generatorand the input image data S

Characteristic value generating circuit and imaging device

A solid-state image pickup device includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixels, each having a photoelectric converter; a signal conversion circuit converting a pixel signal from the pixel array into an output signal; and a clamp correction circuit correcting a clamp level included in a predetermined signal dealt with by the signal conversion circuit. The clamp correction circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter performing analog-to-digital conversion of the predetermined signal and generating and outputting N+M bits of digital data at the time of analog-to-digital conversion, N+M bits being obtained by adding M bits for correction to N bits assigned to the predetermined signal; a correction-value generating unit determining a correction value based on the N+M bits of digital data and a target value; and a computing unit performing a correction computation using the N+M bits of digital data and the correction value to generate N bits of clamp-corrected data.
