An information processing device includes an image analyzing unit. The image analyzing unit includes an object region setting unit configured to set an object region, for image information obtained by capturing an imaging range, the object region corresponding to an object existing in the imaging range; a luminance information acquiring unit configured to acquire luminance information indicating luminance in the imaging range; and a correcting unit configured to correct the object region based on the luminance information in a luminance detection region set in a lower part of the object region.

Information processing device, imaging device, apparatus control system, movable body, information processing method, and computer program product

An adhering detection apparatus includes a light source to emit probe light to a light translucent object during an emission period, and to stop an emission of the probe light to the light translucent object during a non-emission period, a light receiver to receive light coming from the light translucent object during the emission period and the non-emission period of the light source, and an adhering detection processor to perform an adhering detection processing for detecting a substance adhering to the light translucent object based on light quantity of the light coming from the light translucent object and received by the light receiver, and to output a detection result of the adhering detection processing. The adhering detection processor selectively performs one or more processes depending on the light quantity of the light received by the light receiver during the non-emission period of the light source.

Adhering detection apparatus, adhering substance detection method, storage medium, and device control system for controlling vehicle-mounted devices

An image capturing apparatus includes a light source to emit first light to a light translucent member, an image sensor to capture an adhering detection frame for acquiring an adhering detection image to detect a substance adhering on the light translucent member by using the first light emitted from the light source, and to capture object recognition frames for acquiring object recognition images for recognizing objects other than the substance by receiving second light, and circuitry to set a frame time of the adhering detection frame shorter than a frame time of each of the object recognition frames, and to set an exposure time of an object recognition frame right after the adhering detection frame to a value that prevents overlapping of an exposure period of the adhering detection frame and an exposure period of the object recognition frame right after the adhering detection frame.
