Abstract:
In an imaging device, a difference calculation unit calculates a differential signal between charge signals that have been accumulated and are held by first and charge holding units with different timings. A multiple sampling unit performs multiple sampling processing on the differential signal, and an analog digital conversion unit converts a signal that has undergone multiple sampling processing to a digital signal. That is, multiple sampling processing is performed on a differential signal with a higher sparsity than that of an image signal.

Abstract:
A movement information calculator calculates a moving direction and a speed of the moving person from a position history database. An approach time calculator calculates an approach time at which an autonomous running apparatus and the moving person approach to each other within a predetermined distance from the moving person's position, moving direction, and speed, and the running information. A gaze position obtaining unit obtains a moving person's gaze position from the moving person's position and moving direction, and the position of an obstacle recorded in an obstacle database. A gaze region calculator calculates a moving person's gaze region from the moving person's position, moving direction, and gaze position. A running information generator generates running information for making the autonomous running apparatus run to the gaze region at a predetermined time earlier than the approach time from the obstacle's position, the approach time, and the gaze region.

Abstract:
An image capturing system includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a charge holding unit, a multiple sampling information setting unit, a multiple sampling unit, a conversion unit, and an image reconstruction unit. The photoelectric conversion unit converts optical signals received by a plurality of pixels to electric signals. The charge holding unit stores the electric signals and holds the electric signals as charge signals. The multiple sampling information setting unit sets multiple sampling information used for a multiple sampling process. The multiple sampling information includes first multiple sampling information and second multiple sampling information. The multiple sampling unit performs the multiple sampling process using the multiple sampling information and the charge signals so as to output signals. The conversion unit converts the output signals to digital signals. The image reconstruction unit generates reconstructed images using the digital signals and the multiple sampling information, and outputs the reconstructed images.

Abstract:
In a running control method of a running apparatus, person moving direction and speed are estimated based on a person position history for predetermined time. It is decided whether contact with a person is likely to be made based on the estimation and running information about the running apparatus. When it is decided that the contact is likely to be made, a first route where the running apparatus avoids the person is generated for controlling running of the running apparatus therealong. It is decided whether the person has the intention to contact with the running apparatus based on the decision in the contact possibility deciding unit after the running along the first route. When it is decided that the person has the contact intention, a second route where the running apparatus approaches the person is generated for controlling the running of the running apparatus therealong.
