An image processing apparatus generates an image pertaining to a subject. The apparatus obtains a captured image and asperity information of the subject; generates 3D data of the subject based on the captured image and the asperity information obtained; makes a change instruction to change a form of the 3D data generated; and generates, as the image pertaining to the subject, an image corresponding to the 3D data changed based on the change instruction.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, recording medium, and image processing system, with change instruction to change form of 3D data

An image processing apparatus comprises: an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of different viewpoint images obtained by shooting a same scene from different viewpoints, and acquires at least one parallax image pair having parallax by pupil division; a first generator that generates a first distance image from the parallax image pair; a second generator that generates a second distance image from the plurality of different viewpoint images; and an integrator that integrates the first distance image and the second distance image and generates an integrated distance image.

Image processing apparatus and method, and image capturing apparatus and control method thereof, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus that analyzes video data obtained from an image capture apparatus to detect an article that has been pre-registered is disclosed. The apparatus, in a case where an article that is determined to be a property of an article holder that has been pre-registered is detected, searches for an advertisement viewer located within a range of a predetermined distance from the article holder from among advertisement viewers that have registered the article as an article they are interested in. The apparatus then informs an advertisement viewer found by the search of location information of the article.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An imaging apparatus according to the present invention comprises: an image forming optical system; an image sensor including a plurality of pixels; an image fiber including a plurality of optical fibers that guides light from the image forming optical system to the image sensor; and a processing unit that applies processing for compensating for illumination unevenness of the image sensor caused by the image fiber, wherein at least some of the light propagating inside a first one of the optical fibers and at least some of the light propagating inside a second one of the optical fibers are guided to one of the pixels.

Imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor and an image fiber that guides light incident from a focusing optical system toward the image sensor. The image sensor has such configuration that the distance in a first direction between two intersections is between &#xbc; times and &#xbe; times a pixel pitch of the image sensor, where one intersection is an intersection between a straight line passing through the center of the first sensor pixel and parallel to the first direction and a straight line connecting the center of the target pixel and the center of the adjacent pixel and the other intersection is an intersection between a straight line passing through the center of the second sensor pixel and parallel to the first direction and a straight line connecting the center of the target pixel and the center of the adjacent pixel.

A method of deriving a scattered wave includes the steps of calculating a first scattered wave from a scatterer at a predetermined position by using a predetermined electromagnetic wave entering the scatterer, calculating a second scattered wave from a spherical nanoparticle cluster at the predetermined position by using T-matrix method when the predetermined electromagnetic wave enters the spherical nanoparticle cluster in a state where the spherical nanoparticle cluster containing a plurality of spherical nanoparticles is arranged inside a region that has the same shape and size as those of the scatterer, determining a condition of the plurality of spherical nanoparticles so that the first scattered wave is equal to the second scattered wave, and obtaining the scattered wave from the scatterer at an arbitrary position when an arbitrary electromagnetic wave enters the scatterer, based on the determined condition of the spherical nanoparticle.
