Abstract: An imaging system includes an imaging optical system, an imaging device, an actuator, and control circuitry. The actuator changes a relative position of a plurality of pixel cells and an image of a subject. The pixel cells have variable sensitivity, and include a photoelectric converter and a charge accumulation region. The control circuitry sets the relative position to a first position, and also sets the sensitivity of each pixel cell to a first sensitivity. A first signal charge obtained at the photoelectric converter is accumulated in the charge accumulation region. The relative position is set to a second position different from the first position, and also the sensitivity of each pixel cell is set to a second sensitivity different from the first sensitivity. A second signal charge obtained at the photoelectric converter is accumulated in the charge accumulation region in addition to the first signal charge.

Abstract: A three-dimensional motion obtaining apparatus includes: a light source; a charge amount obtaining circuit that includes pixels and obtains, for each of the pixels, a first charge amount under a first exposure pattern and a second charge amount under a second exposure pattern having an exposure period that at least partially overlaps an exposure period of the first exposure pattern; and a processor that controls a light emission pattern for the light source, the first exposure pattern, and the second exposure pattern. The processor estimates a distance to a subject for each of the pixels on the basis of the light emission pattern and on the basis of the first charge amount and the second charge amount of each of the pixels obtained by the charge amount obtaining circuit, and estimates an optical flow for each of the pixels on the basis of the first exposure pattern, the second exposure pattern, and the first charge amount and the second charge amount obtained by the charge amount obtaining circuit.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: at least one light source that emits excitation light for irradiating an object including at least one light emitter; a coding filter array including filters whose transmission spectra differ from each other; an image sensor that captures an image of object light, which is generated by irradiating the object with the excitation light, through the coding filter array and generates compressed image data; and a processing circuit that generates hyperspectral image data based on the compressed image data. The object light includes emission light, which is produced by the at least one light emitter by absorbing the excitation light, and reflection light of the excitation light reflected by the object. The filters include two filters whose transmission spectra differ from each other. A spectrum of the excitation light overlaps a transmission region in the transmission spectrum of each of the two filters.

Abstract: A light sensor includes a photoelectric conversion layer and a long-pass filter that is disposed above the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer has a spectral sensitivity characteristic having a first peak at a first wavelength that is longer than a cut-on wavelength of the long-pass filter, and a spectral sensitivity of the photoelectric conversion layer at the cut-on wavelength is greater than or equal to 0% and less than or equal to 50% of a spectral sensitivity of the photoelectric conversion layer at the first wavelength.

Abstract: A photoelectric converter includes a first electrode containing a transparent conductive material, a second electrode, and a multilayer body that is positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode, and that has a photoelectric conversion function. The multilayer body includes a first layer and a second layer positioned between the first layer and the second electrode. The first layer absorbs light in a first wavelength band of 360 nm or longer and transmits light in a second wavelength band, the second wavelength band including wavelengths longer than wavelengths included in the first wavelength band. The second layer absorbs the light in the second wavelength band. The multilayer body substantially does not have sensitivity for photoelectric conversion in the first wavelength band and has sensitivity for photoelectric conversion in the second wavelength band.
