    Abstract: An imaging control apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to cause an imaging apparatus to image a first imaging target region, and in a case where a part of a second imaging target region overlaps with a part of the first imaging target region while a moving object on which the imaging apparatus is mounted is moving, perform overlapping imaging processing of causing the imaging apparatus to image the second imaging target region. The processor is configured to, in a case where the overlapping imaging processing fails, perform interval imaging processing of causing the imaging apparatus to image a third imaging target region on a condition that a moving distance by which the moving object moves from a first position at which the first imaging target region is imaged by the imaging apparatus reaches a first predetermined moving distance.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus has an imaging element that captures an optical image with a first angle of view, and a control unit that has a first mode and a second mode as a video imaging mode and records video data of a video based on the optical image. The control unit executes thinning-out drive to thin out a part of readout of the plurality of pixels in the first mode and the second mode, sets a second thinning-out rate in the thinning-out drive of the second mode to be lower than a first thinning-out rate of the thinning-out drive of the first mode, and changes the second angle of view of the recording region following movement of a subject in the recording region in the second mode, and changes the second thinning-out rate of the recording region with change in the second angle of view in the second mode.

    Abstract: A video creation method of creating a video is provided. The method includes setting, in an imaging region of a reference video having a first angle of view, one or more regions having a second angle of view different from the first angle of view, determining a selection region that is the region in which a subject of a recording target is included, switching the selection region, displaying an insertion video in a period between a display period of a pre-switching video which is a video of the selection region before the switching and a display period of a post-switching video which is a video of the selection region after the switching, and executing, during a display period of the insertion video, a process to change a displayed video from one of the pre-switching video or the post-switching video to the other of the pre-switching video or the post-switching video.

    Abstract: Provided are an imaging device capable of accelerating AF and a focusing control method thereof. A focus lens drive unit (16) that drives a focus lens (12), and an image sensor movement drive unit (120) that moves an image sensor (110) along an optical axis (L) are included. A target position of the focus lens (12) for focusing on a subject is set, and the focus lens (12) is moved toward the target position. The image sensor (110) is moved before the focus lens (12) reaches the target position such that focusing is performed. A focusing state is maintained by moving the image sensor (110) so as to follow the focus lens (12) after the focusing is performed.

    Abstract: An image for a left eye and an image for a right eye are respectively captured. A corresponding point corresponding to each of a plurality of feature points detected from the image for a left eye is searched for using the image for a right eye. The number of corresponding points found by the search is counted, and it is determined whether to be equal to or more than a predetermined ratio with respect to the number of pixels of the image for a right eye. When the number of corresponding points is determined to be less than the predetermined ratio, the image for a right eye is recaptured, and the corresponding point search process and the determination of whether the number of corresponding points is equal to or more than the predetermined ratio are re-executed using an image new for a right eye obtained by recapture.
