An information processing system configured to perform predetermined processing based on out-of-focus information corresponding to a first area of an image, the out-of-focus information corresponding to a difference in focus between the first area of the image and a second area of the image that is different from the first area of the image.

Image processing device, method of processing image, image processing program, and imaging device

Provided are an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, an imaging apparatus, a mobile device, and a computer program that performs processing for controlling exposure of an in-vehicle camera. The information processing apparatus includes: a recognition unit that recognizes an image after an output signal of an image sensor is processed by a processing unit; and a control unit that controls at least one of imaging operation of the image sensor or processing operation in the processing unit on the basis of a recognition result of the recognition unit. The image sensor is mounted on a vehicle and used, and the recognition unit image-recognizes at least a surrounding vehicle or a road surface. Then, the control unit controls detection or development processing of the region of the surrounding vehicle or the road surface in the image.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method, imaging apparatus, mobile device, and computer program

There is provided an image processing device including a first composition setting unit configured to set composition for a two-dimensionally displayed input image based on a first technique, and a second composition setting unit configured to set composition for a three-dimensionally displayed input image based on a second technique different from the first technique.

Image processing of captured three-dimensional images

An image processing apparatus to generate a trimming image from an input image. The apparatus including a central processing unit (CPU) programmed such that during operation, when a first trimming region in which an object included in an input image is arranged with a first composition is beyond a range of the input image, sets a second trimming region in which the object is arranged with a second composition. One of the first composition or the second composition is a three division composition and the other of the first composition or the second composition is a two division composition.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and recording medium

An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive an input image to be processed; a brightness-information extracting unit configured to extract, from the image, brightness information indicating brightness of the whole image; a luminance-value-distribution-information extracting unit configured to extract, from the image, luminance-value-distribution information indicating a distribution of luminance values in the image; and a scene determining unit configured to determine a scene of an object included in the image on the basis of the extracted brightness information and the extracted luminance-value-distribution information.

Image capturing apparatus, image processing apparatus and method, and program therefor

An imaging apparatus includes: a control unit configured to move a focusing lens, and detect a focus position; wherein the control unit executes auto-focus (AF) scan processing in which only a part of a range of movement of the focusing lens is set as a scan range, as first scan processing, and executes auto-focus (AF) scan processing in which a region including a region differing from the scan region of the first scan processing is set as a scan range, as second scan processing, in the event that a focus point is not detected in the first scan processing.

Imaging apparatus, imaging apparatus control method, and computer program

An image capturing apparatus includes a shutter-operation accepting unit that accepts a shutter operation; an image capturing unit that captures an image of an object and generates a captured image; a brightness-information extracting unit that extracts, from the captured image, brightness information indicating brightness of the whole captured image; a luminance-value-distribution-information extracting unit that extracts, from the captured image, luminance-value-distribution information indicating a distribution of luminance values in the captured image; a scene determining unit that determines a scene of the object included in the captured image based on the extracted brightness information and luminance-value-distribution information; and a control unit that performs control to record captured images using at least two different image capturing/recording parameters if, when the shutter operation has been accepted, the scene of the object included in the captured image is determined to be a predetermined scene.

Image capturing apparatus to record a scene of an object included in a captured image, control method therefor, and program therefor

An image pickup apparatus which includes a camera shake correction mechanism and determines exposure conditions including at least a shutter speed in response to brightness of an image pickup object, including acquisition means, decision means, and setting means. The acquisition means is configured to acquire a focal distance of a lens for converging an optical image of the image pickup object. The decision means is configured to decide a camera shake limit shutter speed corresponding to the acquired focal distance. The setting means is configured to set, where the camera shake correction mechanism is valid, a shutter speed lower than the camera shake limit shutter speed by an amount corresponding to a predetermined difference in exposure value to one end of a setting range of the shutter speed of the exposure condition.
