An image processing device comprises a trail extraction section that extracts a region where pixel values continuously become a given value or more, within image data made up of a plurality of pixel values, as a trail, a trail determination section that determines movement state of the trail that has been extracted by the trail extraction section, and a trail detection section that detects type of the trail based on movement state that has been determined by the trail determination section.

Image-processing device and image-processing method

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit for capturing a subject and generating image data of the subject, an operation input unit for receiving inputs of operation signals containing a release signal for instructing the imaging unit to shoot, an acceleration detector for detecting an acceleration of the imaging apparatus, a state detector for separately detecting a case in which the imaging apparatus is overland, a case in which the imaging apparatus is underwater and a photographer shoots while swimming, and a case in which the imaging apparatus is underwater and the photographer shoots while changing a water depth, and a control unit for performing operation control depending on an input into the operation input unit and/or into the acceleration detector according to a state detection result by the state detector.

Imaging apparatus

An imaging device includes an imaging unit that takes an image; a display unit that displays the image taken by the imaging unit and displays a menu of selectable modes in accordance with a change in a position of the imaging device; and an operation detecting unit that detects a position or a direction of an operation applied to the imaging device. The imaging device also includes a control unit that determines the position or the direction of the operation detected by the operation detecting unit and performs control to switch a mode in accordance with a correspondence between the position or the direction of the operation and the menu displayed on the display unit.
