An object is to cause a distribution of defocus amounts in a certain arbitrary region of a captured image to be displayed. A map data generation unit configured to generate defocus map data representing defocus amounts at a plurality of positions in a captured image obtained by an imaging element unit, calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit, and a display control unit configured to generate a defocus map image representing a distribution of defocus amounts of the captured image using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation unit and to perform display control are included.

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

An imaging unit is configured with use of an imaging element including an image output pixel and a phase difference detection pixel. A control unit performs focus control based on image-plane phase difference information obtained using the phase difference detection pixel over a predetermined period, generates focus state change information indicating whether or not a change in a focus state is a monotonous change, and continues the focus control based on the image-plane phase difference information on the assumption of a large blur state in a case where the focus state change information indicates that a change in the focus state is a monotonous change. The control unit switches from the image-plane phase difference auto-focus operation to an auto-focus operation in a case where a change in the focus state is not a monotonous change. Thus, it becomes possible to perform a high-speed and high-quality auto-focus operation.

Imaging apparatus, focus control method, and focus determination method

Provided is an image processing device including an adjustment unit that adjusts any one of a background image which is a far-infrared image showing a background that does not include an object and a target image which is a far-infrared image showing the object, on the basis of a time change model of an observation pixel value, and an extraction unit that extracts a target region including the object in the target image on the basis of a result of comparison between the background image and the target image after the adjustment is performed.

Image processing device and image processing method

State information corresponding to a subject on a visible light image, such as temperature information and sound field information, is acquired from state information indicating a subject state not indicated on the visible light image by an information acquisition unit. An effect processing unit performs an effect process on the visible light image on the basis of the state information acquired by the information acquisition unit. In the effect process, an effect component image is superimposed or a subject image is modified based on the type and temperature of the subject and an effect component image is superimposed or a subject image is modified based on the type of a sound source and the volume of a sound.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels; a first curtain that travels to block incidence of light on the imaging device; a second curtain that permits the incidence of light on the imaging device earlier than the traveling of the first curtain; a reset unit that sequentially reset-scans lines of the pixels earlier than the traveling of the first curtain; and an operation selecting unit that selects one of a mechanical shutter operation performed by the traveling of the first curtain and the second curtain and an electronic shutter operation performed by the first curtain and the reset unit depending on a slit width formed by the first curtain and the second curtain or a slit width formed by the first curtain and the reset-scanning of the reset unit.

Imaging apparatus and shutter operation selecting method

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels; a first curtain that travels to block incidence of light on the imaging device; a reset unit that sequentially reset-scans lines of the imaging device earlier than the traveling of the first curtain; and a correction controller that corrects a line reset-scanning time of the reset unit on the basis of a movement amount of the imaging device having been made to move on the basis of a camera shake detection result.
