Signal detection and recognition employees coordinated illumination and capture of images under to facilitate extraction of a signal of interest. Pulsed illumination of different colors facilitates extraction of signals from color channels, as well as improved signal to noise ratio by combining signals of different color channels. The successive pulsing of different color illumination appears white to the user, yet facilitates signal detection, even for lower cost monochrome sensors, as in barcode scanning and other automatic identification equipment.

In one aspect, a system may include a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may include a network interface, a processor, and a storage device that includes instructions to cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may include obtaining data that is indicative of one or more acts of an occupant of the property, applying the obtained data that is indicative of one or more acts of the occupant of the property to a pre-surveillance rule, determining that the pre-surveillance rule is satisfied, determining a drone navigation path that is associated with the pre-surveillance rule, transmitting, to a drone, an instruction to perform pre-surveillance of the portion of the one or more properties using the drone navigation path.

The image processing system generates a plurality of separated images based on a first image acquired by photographing an object and a second image acquired by photographing the object in a state of receiving light of a first specific wavelength band. The image processing system specifies, from among the plurality of separated images, a separated image in which reflection on the object is reduced as compared to the first image. The image processing system outputs the separated image.

A ripple is suppressed in a solid-state imaging element that obtains a spectral spectrum. The solid-state imaging element includes a surface layer, a filter layer, and a photoelectric conversion layer. In the solid-state imaging element, the surface layer has a thickness exceeding a half of a coherence length of incident light. Furthermore, in the solid-state imaging element, the filter layer transmits predetermined target light of the incident light transmitted through the surface layer and reflects a rest of the incident light transmitted through the surface layer to the surface layer. Furthermore, in the solid-state imaging element, the photoelectric conversion layer photoelectrically converts the predetermined target light transmitted through the filter layer.
