Abstract: The present technology relates to an exposure control device, an exposure control method, a program, an imaging device, and a mobile body that allow for appropriate exposure control.
The exposure control device includes: a wave-detection unit that calculates a wave-detection value, in a captured image taken by an imaging unit, by assigning a smaller weight to an area that is predicted to go out of an angle of view of the imaging unit within a predetermined time; and an exposure control unit that performs exposure control of the imaging unit on the basis of the wave-detection value. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging device or an imaging system provided in a mobile body such as a vehicle, a robot, or the like.-

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing apparatus and a signal processing method, a program, and a moving body that allow improvement of estimation accuracy for a self-position.
One of a plurality of wavelengths of light is selected, and the light with the selected wavelength is projected. Reflected light of the projected light is received that is reflected from a reflector corresponding to an object having a reflectance higher than a predetermined reflectance, and the reflector is detected. This prevents interference of light projected by another vehicle, enabling appropriate detection of the reflector and improvement of estimation accuracy for a self-position. The present disclosure is applicable to an in-vehicle system.-

Abstract: 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.
