    Abstract: An imaging unit 31 is configured with use of an imaging element including an image output pixel and a phase difference detection pixel. A control unit 50 performs focus control based on image-plane phase difference information obtained using the phase difference detection pixel over a predetermined period, generates focus state change information indicating whether or not a change in a focus state is a monotonous change, and continues the focus control based on the image-plane phase difference information on the assumption of a large blur state in a case where the focus state change information indicates that a change in the focus state is a monotonous change. Furthermore, the control unit switches from the image-plane phase difference auto-focus operation to an auto-focus operation of, for example, a contrast method, on the assumption of a low-contrast state in a case where a change in the focus state is not a monotonous change. It becomes possible to perform a high-speed and high-quality auto-focus operation.

    Abstract: [Object] To improve detection precision of a subject at a lower cost. [Solution] Provided is an image processing device including: a plurality of detection units configured to detect respective detection regions indicating temperatures within mutually different setting temperature ranges from a far-infrared image; and a determination unit configured to determine whether a predetermined subject is shown in the far-infrared image on the basis of a positional relation between the plurality of detected detection regions and modeling which regulates the positional relation in a case in which the predetermined subject is shown in the far-infrared image.

    Abstract: [Object] To extract a target region for a far-infrared image with a high level of accuracy.[Solution] Provided is an image processing device including: an adjustment unit that adjusts any one of a background image which is a far-infrared image showing a background that does not include an object and a target image which is a far-infrared image showing the object, on the basis of a time change model of an observation pixel value; and an extraction unit that extracts a target region including the object in the target image on the basis of a result of comparison between the background image and the target image after the adjustment is performed.

    Abstract: State information corresponding to a subject on a visible light image, such as temperature information and sound field information, is acquired from state information indicating a subject state not indicated on the visible light image by an information acquisition unit 21. An effect processing unit 22 performs an effect process on the visible light image on the basis of the state information acquired by the information acquisition unit 21. In the effect process, an effect component image is superimposed or a subject image is modified based on the type and temperature of the subject and an effect component image is superimposed or a subject image is modified based on the type of a sound source and the volume of a sound. The effect process according to the state information is performed on the visible light image, such that the reality can be improved.
