An arrangement for determining an amount of light reaching an image sensor of a video camera, the video camera comprising an imaging lens system guiding a beam path towards an image sensor, wherein the arrangement comprises a transparent probing element through which the beam path passes on its way to the image sensor, and a light sensor arranged in an end of the transparent probing element. The light sensor is arranged to collect light being scattered or reflected in the transparent probing element.

The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program that perform appropriate exposure control, to thereby enable a desired object to be appropriately imaged. The present technology includes: an imaging unit including a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics; and an exposure control unit setting information associated with exposure control on the plurality of pixels depending on specification information for specifying a kind of a measurement target. Alternatively, the present technology includes: an imaging unit including a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics; and an exposure control unit setting information associated with exposure control on the plurality of pixels on the basis of a predicted output value of each of the plurality of pixels based on a spectral characteristic related to a measurement target. The present technology is applicable to an imaging apparatus which senses vegetation, for example.

An arrangement for determining an amount of light reaching an image sensor of a video camera is disclosed. The video camera comprises an imaging lens system guiding a beam path towards an image sensor and has an aperture plane where a variable aperture is arranged. The inventive arrangement comprises a light sensor arranged to probe light intensity continuously from a portion of the beam path, which portion is located in or near the aperture plane of the imaging lens system.

Scenes can be imaged under low-light conditions using flash photography. However, the flash can be irritating to individuals being photographed, especially when those individuals' eyes have adapted to the dark. Additionally, portions of images generated using a flash can appear washed-out or otherwise negatively affected by the flash. These issues can be addressed by using a flash at an invisible wavelength, e.g., an infrared and/or ultraviolet flash. At the same time a scene is being imaged, at the invisible wavelength of the invisible flash, the scene can also be imaged at visible wavelengths. This can include simultaneously using both a standard RGB camera and a modified visible-plus-invisible-wavelengths camera (e.g., an “IR-G-UV” camera). The visible and invisible image data can then be combined to generate an improved visible-light image of the scene, e.g., that approximates a visible light image of the scene, had the scene been illuminated during daytime light conditions.

Even in a case where the amount of incident light is small, a high-Quality captured image can be obtained.

An electronic device includes: a display unit; a first imaging unit that is disposed on a side opposite to a display surface of the display unit and is capable of capturing an image of light in an infrared light wavelength band that has passed through the display unit; a second imaging unit that is disposed on a side opposite to the display surface of the display unit and is capable of capturing as image of light in a visible light wavelength band that has passed through the display unit; and a correction unit that corrects image data imaged by the second imaging unit on the basis of image data imaged by the first imaging unit.

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are described for presenting images derived from a photon counting imaging modality. Initially, a first image is derived by binning native projection data in a first manner to create first binned data and generating the first image using the first binned data. A region-of-interest within the object may be identified from the first image, and, based upon the identified region-of-interest, the native projection data may be rebinned in a second, different, manner to create second binned data. Because the second manner of binning the native projection data is different than the first manner, an image resulting from the second binned data may be different than the first image. Moreover, a user interface may be provided for assisting a user in selecting a region-of-interest and/or for specifying desired properties of the second image.

A method for enabling easier interpretation and analysis of an observed real world scene by presenting a visible representation of infrared (IR) radiation information, based on IR radiation emitted from said real world scene, and additional information onto said observed real world scene, using thermography arrangement comprising an IR imaging system, a visible light imaging system and a visible light projecting system.

A radiation detection apparatus includes a housing that includes an incidence surface and a back surface located on the opposite side of the incidence surface, a sensor panel that is housed in the housing and configured to convert radiation incident from the incidence surface into an electrical signal, a conductive plate that is housed in the housing and extends in a direction intersecting with a normal to the incidence surface, and an antenna element housed in the housing. The conductive plate is located between the sensor panel and the back surface. The antenna element is located between the conductive plate and the back surface. The antenna element includes a portion that extends in the direction intersecting with the normal to the incidence surface. The conductive plate is configured to function as a ground for the antenna element.

In a radiographic imaging apparatus, a radiation image of an object is detected by use of one of first and second electronic cassettes, to input the radiation image to the console device. The first electronic cassette is changed over between a normal transmission mode and a relay transmission mode. In the normal transmission mode, the radiation image is transmitted through a path from the first electronic cassette to the console device, and in the relay transmission mode, the radiation image is transmitted from the first electronic cassette to the second electronic cassette wirelessly and then from the second electronic cassette to the console device. Transmission of a radiation image can be performed reliably without unwanted interruption, because an indirect path of the relay transmission mode can be used even upon occurrence of a technical problem of inefficiency in the normal transmission mode.
