The imaging apparatus (100) includes an imaging evaluation map acquiring section (101) that acquires an imaging evaluation map, and an imaging point selecting section (102) that selects an imaging point suitable for imaging an object and an imaging condition at the imaging point on the basis of the acquired imaging evaluation map. In the imaging evaluation map, an evaluation value that represents an evaluation of imaging in a case where an object is imaged at a specific position under a specific imaging condition is set at a plurality of imaging candidate positions for each of a plurality of imaging conditions.

The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an interchangeable lens that enable depth-of-field adjustment.

The imaging apparatus includes a depth-of-field adjustment function that adjusts the depth of field of at least one monocular optical system among a plurality of monocular optical systems having optical paths independent of one another. For example, the depth-of-field adjustment function includes a mechanism that adjusts the depths of field of the monocular optical systems, and an optical system control unit that adjusts the depths of field of the monocular optical systems by driving the monocular optical systems on the basis of control information. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging apparatus, an electronic apparatus, an interchangeable lens or a camera system that provides a plurality of monocular lenses, an information processing method, a program, or the like, for example.

A monitoring camera includes a housing having a tip end cylindrical portion in which a lens is disposed, the tip end cylindrical portion being covered with a front glass, an eave member that is provided on an upper surface of the housing and that has a tip end flange portion protruding forward from the front glass, and a repellent member that is provided at the tip end flange portion and contains a drug for repelling a pest such as a spider.

In one aspect, an imaging assistance apparatus includes: a laser light projection device having a laser light source that generates laser light and a laser head provided with an optical element that projects the laser light as patterned light having a determined pattern; a reception device that receives a first operation; a projection instruction device that instructs the laser light projection device during laser light projection to end the projection of the patterned light, on the basis of the first operation; and an imaging instruction device that instructs an imaging device to image a subject on which focusing control is performed, on the basis of the first operation.

An imaging system can include a first and second camera configured to capture first and second sets of oblique images along first and second scan paths, respectively, on an object area. A drive is coupled to a scanning mirror structure, having at least one mirror surface, and configured to rotate the structure about a scan axis based on a scan angle. The first and second cameras each have an optical axis set at an oblique angle to the scan axis and include a respective lens to focus first and second imaging beams reflected from the mirror surface to an image sensor located in each of the cameras. The first and second imaging beams captured by their respective cameras can vary according to the scan angle. Each of the image sensors captures respective sets of oblique images by sampling the imaging beams at first and second values of the scan angle.

A polarization filter effect is prevented from being changed due to a change in orientation of an imaging apparatus. An imaging apparatus according to the present technique includes an imaging section including a first pixel capable of receiving light in a first polarization direction and a second pixel capable of receiving light in a second polarization direction different from the first polarization direction, a detection section detecting an orientation of the imaging section, and an image generating section generating, on the basis of signals for the first and second pixels, an image corresponding to a polarization direction corresponding to a detection result from the detection section. Thus, as an image corresponding to a particular polarization direction, that is, an image corresponding to application of a polarization filter effect, an image can be generated that corresponds to a polarization direction corresponding to a change in the orientation of the imaging section.

Provided are an imaging plan presentation apparatus and method capable of presenting an imaging plan to a user in accordance with conditions of images necessary for checking and an imaging range in a captured image. After an imaging unit (14) completes imaging, an imaging plan update unit (15) determines whether an uncaptured area has been identified by an uncaptured-area identification unit (151). If Yes is obtained, the imaging plan update unit (15) updates the imaging plan on the basis of the uncaptured imaging range, and re-generates an imaging plan corresponding to the uncaptured imaging range. Then, an imaging plan presentation unit (13) presents an imaging range to be captured next to a user on the basis of the re-generated imaging plan.
