    摘要: A recognition control circuitry detects a light amount of an imaging area on the basis of an image signal from a camera, a control signal from a camera control circuitry, and the like, and generates selection determination information on the basis of a detection result of the light amount. A recognition processing circuitry performs area division on an image of an imaging area generated by the camera on the basis of the selection determination information generated by the recognition control circuitry, and selects a recognizer for each area. Moreover, the recognition processing circuitry performs a subject recognition process on an image of the corresponding area by using the selected recognizer. Even when a captured image includes a bright area and a dark area, a subject in each area can be easily and accurately recognized.

    摘要: A comparison area detection unit of image processing circuitry detects an image area of a fading determination object on the basis of an image signal generated by an image capturing unit using a color filter as a comparison area. A color information generation unit generates color information from the image signal of the comparison area and uses the color information as comparison target information. A color information comparison unit compares the color information of the fading determination object as fading determination reference information with the comparison target information. A fading information generation unit generates fading information indicating that a fading level of the color filter exceeds a predetermined level or the fading level of the color filter on the basis of comparison information indicating a comparison result between the fading determination reference information and the comparison target information. The fading state of the color filter can be detected with precision.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus includes a first self-position estimating section configured to estimate a self-position of a moving body using a visible image, a second self-position estimating section configured to estimate the self-position of the moving body using an infrared image, and a combining section configured to set, based on a situation in which the moving body is placed, a first weight for a first estimation result obtained by self-position estimation using the visible image and a second weight for a second estimation result obtained by self-position estimation using the infrared image, to thereby combine the first estimation result and the second estimation result using the first weight and the second weight. The present technology is applicable to moving bodies, for example, vehicles.

    摘要: Provided is an image processing apparatus that includes a long-time exposure distance image generation unit that captures an image with long-time exposure, calculates a parallax from a first long-time exposure image and a second long-time exposure image from a first long-time exposure camera and a second long-time exposure camera disposed at a predetermined interval, and generates a long-time exposure distance image. The image processing apparatus further includes a short-time exposure distance image generation unit that captures an image with short-time exposure, calculates a parallax from a first short-time exposure image and a second short-time exposure image from a first short-time exposure camera and a second short-time exposure camera disposed at a predetermined interval, and generates a short-time exposure distance image, and a distance image generation unit that combines the long-time exposure distance image with the short-time exposure distance image to generate a distance image.
