[Object] Reduction of the influence of liquid crystal inversion can be achieved without increasing a driving frequency of a liquid crystal light control element. [Solution] a liquid crystal light control element having a plurality of liquid crystal layers sandwiched between two electrodes serving as electrodes at both ends and arranged side by side in a direction of an optical axis of transmitted light is driven. In this case, a driving signal inverted at predetermined intervals is applied to the electrodes at both ends of each of the liquid crystal layers. By setting the driving signals of the plurality of systems as signals shifted from an in-phase or reversed-phase relationship, so the inversion timing of each liquid crystal layer is made not to coincide.

Light control driving device, imaging apparatus, and light control driving method

An information processing apparatus including circuitry configured to obtain, from sensors, first and second observation information related to at least one characteristic of a user, recognize the user based on correlation between the first and second observation information, and initiate an execution function associated with the recognized user.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program for recognizing a user

There is an image processing device to obtain more accurate depth information, based on a pattern-irradiated infrared image and a pattern-irradiation-free infrared image. The image processing device includes a pattern irradiation unit that irradiates an infrared pattern onto a surface of a target object; and an infrared image capturing unit that captures an infrared image. The pattern irradiation unit performs irradiation at a predetermined timing corresponding to an infrared image capturing unit's image capturing timing. The infrared image capturing unit obtains a pattern-projected infrared image in which the pattern irradiated by the pattern irradiation unit is projected on the target object, and a pattern-free infrared image in which the pattern is not projected on the target object.

Image processing device and image processing method

There is provided a control device, a control method, and a program through which it is possible to implement a more suitable imaging environment even under a situation in which auxiliary light is emitted from a plurality of light sources, the control device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a light emission state of a first light source; and a control unit configured to control an operation of light emission of a second light source that is different from the first light source according to the acquired light emission state of the first light source.

Control device, control method, and program

An image recognition unit of the present disclosure includes: a plurality of memory sections; a writing section that selectively writes a plurality of pieces of pixel data of a data map to the plurality of memory sections; and an arithmetic section that reads a plurality of pixel data sets from the plurality of memory sections, and determines whether an input image corresponding to the data map includes a recognition object, on a basis of the plurality of pixel data sets, the pixel data sets each including a predetermined number of pieces of pixel data.

Image recognition unit, learning method of the same, and electronic apparatus

An image pickup apparatus includes: a dimming device configured to adjust light quantity of incident image pickup light; an image pickup device configured to obtain an image pickup signal based on image pickup light emitted from the dimming device; and a color correction processing section configured to perform color correction on the image pickup signal that is obtained by the image pickup device, based on information relating to light quantity of the image pickup light emitted from the dimming device. The color correction processing section performs the color correction to allow a color balance value of the image pickup signal to be substantially constant independent of the light quantity of the image pickup light emitted from the dimming device.

Image pickup apparatus, color correction method, and color correction program

Disclosed herein is a memory controlling device including: an address converting section configured to convert a logical address included in a request issued from a plurality of clients into a physical address of a memory; a request dividing section configured to divide a converted request converted by the address converting section by a command unit for the memory on a basis of the physical address of the converted request; and an arbitrating section configured to perform arbitration on a basis of the physical address indicated in a divided request output from the request dividing section.

Memory controlling device and memory controlling method

In a method and device for fixing a denture to the root cap, which is embedded in the tooth root, non-plated platinum magnet containing from 33-47% of Pt is attached to the inner or lower surface of the denture so as to generate the magnetic retention between the magnet and the root cap.
