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 technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an interchangeable lens that make it possible to easily obtain images of a plurality of viewpoints.
A communication section receives region specification information for specifying respective regions of a plurality of facet images corresponding to pictures formed of respective light beams collected through a plurality of facet lenses, the respective regions being included in an image captured by one image sensor in a case where a camera body including the image sensor is equipped with an interchangeable lens including the plurality of facet lenses disposed in a manner that the plurality of facet lenses does not overlap each other in an optical axis direction. A region specification section specifies the regions of the plurality of facet images respectively corresponding to the plurality of facet lenses in the captured image, on the basis of the region specification information. The present technology is applicable to a camera system or the like that captures images, for example.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an interchangeable lens each capable of appropriately correcting shading of an image having a plurality of viewpoints. A communication unit receives shading information associated with shading of each of a plurality of ommatidium images that are included in a captured image acquired by one image sensor and correspond to images formed by lights respectively concentrated by a plurality of ommatidium lenses that are a plurality of lenses so disposed as not to overlap with each other in an optical axis direction and are included in an interchangeable lens when the interchangeable lens is fitted to a camera body including the image sensor. A correction unit corrects shading of each of the plurality of ommatidium images that are included in the captured image acquired by the image sensor and respectively correspond to the plurality of ommatidium lenses on the basis of the shading information. For example, the present technology is applicable to a camera system or the like which captures an image.

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.
