Abstract: The present technique relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method capable of obtaining an obstacle-removed image in which an obstacle does not appear using disparity information. A removal section generates after-removal photographic images at a plurality of viewpoints by removing part of subjects from respective photographic images at the plurality of viewpoints using disparity information associated with the photographic images at the plurality of viewpoints. An image generation section generates an obstacle-removed image at a predetermined viewpoint by registering the after-removal photographic images at the plurality of viewpoints using the disparity information. The present technique is applicable to a case, for example, of generating an obstacle-removed image in which an obstacle does not appear using photographic images at a plurality of viewpoints.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and a method capable of generating high-definition viewpoint interpolation images at high speed. A space reconstruction unit reconstructs a space in which viewpoint images are photographed according to each viewpoint image and each disparity (pixel shift amount) map and supplying reconstruction data of the space to an interpolation position setting unit. The interpolation position setting unit sets an interpolation position in the reconstructed space while changing (an inclination of) a beam and supplies interpolation target coordinates indicating the set interpolation position to a data search unit. The data search unit generates an interpolation image at any viewpoint by sampling RGB values at interpolation target coordinates supplied from the interpolation position setting unit and outputs the generated interpolation image to a subsequent stage. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, an image processing apparatus that performs image processing using multi-view images.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program as well as an interchangeable lens that make it possible to easily obtain an image of a plurality of visual points. A communication section receives, when an interchangeable lens including monocular lenses that are plural lenses arranged so as not to overlap with each other in an optical axis direction is mounted on a camera main body that includes an image sensor, known reference positions that are positions on a captured image on which a predetermined imaging target imaged by the image sensor appears, the positions corresponding to predetermined rays of light on monocular images corresponding to figures formed from rays of light focused by the monocular lenses. A reference position calculation section determines unknown reference positions on the basis of the known reference positions. The present technology can be applied to a camera system for capturing an image.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program that enable refocusing accompanied by desired optical effects. A light collection processing unit performs a light collection process to generate a processing result image focused at a predetermined distance, using images of a plurality of viewpoints. The light collection process is performed with the images of the plurality of viewpoints having pixel values adjusted with adjustment coefficients for the respective viewpoints. The present technology can be applied in a case where a refocused image is obtained from images of a plurality of viewpoints, for example.
