A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment includes: an image processing unit that includes a plurality of first pixels arranged in a matrix on a first surface and generates image data on the basis of a light amount of incident light incident on each of the first pixels; and an event signal processing unit that includes a plurality of second pixels arranged in a matrix on a second surface parallel to the first surface and generates event data on the basis of a luminance change of incident light incident on each of the second pixels, in which the plurality of first pixels and the plurality of second pixels are arranged on a single chip.

An imaging device includes: an imaging portion that captures an image of a portion of a living body to take in the image; a display portion that displays first and second display images with being superimposed on each other, the first display image being based on the taken-in image, the second display image including guidance regarding a way to place the portion of the living body in a prescribed position; a determination portion that determines whether the portion of the living body is placed in the prescribed position; and a control portion that, until it is determined that the portion of the living body is placed in the prescribed position, causes the imaging portion to newly capture and take in a new image of the portion of the living body and causes the display portion to display an image based on the new taken-in image.

A method for image-guided agriculture includes receiving images; processing the images to generate reflectance maps respectively corresponding to spectral bands; synthesizing the reflectance maps to generate a multispectral image including vegetation index information of a target area; receiving crop information in regions of the target area; and assessing crop conditions for the regions based on the identified crop information and the vegetation index information.

The disclosure provides for a scanning apparatus. The scanning apparatus may be configured to capture identifying information of a user and may comprise one or more infrared emitters, at least one image sensor configured to capture image data in a field of view, and a controller in communication with the scanning apparatus. The controller may be configured to activate the one or more infrared emitters, control the at least one image sensor to capture a first image in the field of view, deactivate the one or more infrared emitters, and control the at least one image sensor to capture a second image in the field of view.

A biometric capture device is operative to adjust one or more environmental parameters to enhance a range (e.g., distance) at which a biometric may be captured from a subject. For example, a sample biometric capture device may be, include, or otherwise incorporate a retinal or iris scanner configured to capture an image of the retina or iris (e.g., a biometric) when the retina or iris is illuminated by infrared light. Generally, the amount of infrared light required to accurately image the retina or iris increases with the distance of the subject's retina or iris from the image capture device. The biometric capture device may capture a facial image using a first image sensor, identify a face in the facial image, capture an iris image using a second image sensor guided by the facial image, and identify a person using the iris image.

A moving robot including: a lidar sensor to acquire terrain information; a memory to store node data nodes; and a controller to determine whether at least one open movement direction exists based on sensing data of the lidar sensor and the node data, to generate a new node in the node data and add the generated node to a node group, to determine any of the open movement directions as a movement direction, to control the robot to travels an area corresponding to the node group, to control a suction unit to suck foreign matter around the main body when traveling in the node group, to initialize the node group, to determine whether at least one node is to be updated, moving the robot to any one of the nodes to be updated, and to complete generation of a map.
