An image capturing apparatus including a lens and a processing unit, wherein the lens includes a first region through which a first light ray passes and a second region through which a second light ray passes, wherein the first region and the second region are arranged in a predetermined direction, and wherein the processing unit sets a component of the predetermined direction as a degree of freedom in a first relative positional relationship between a predetermined position in the first region and a predetermined position in the second region is employed.

An event detection apparatus includes an input unit configured to input a plurality of time-sequential images, a first extraction unit configured to extract sets of first image samples according to respective different sample scales from a first time range of the plurality of time-sequential images based on a first scale parameter, a second extraction unit configured to extract sets of second image samples according to respective different sample scales from a second time range of the plurality of time-sequential images based on a second scale parameter, a dissimilarity calculation unit configured to calculate a dissimilarity between the first and second image samples based on the sets of the first and second image samples, and a detection unit configured to detect an event from the plurality of time-sequential images based on the dissimilarity.

Visual content is captured by an image capture device during a capture duration. The image capture devices experiences motion during the capture duration. The intentionality of the motion of the image capture device is determined based on angular acceleration of the image capture device during the capture duration. A punchout of the visual content is determined based on the intentionality of the motion of the image capture device. The punchout of the visual content is used to generate stabilized visual content.

A dynamically adjusting surveillance system provides a monitor, a sequence of views that include a key view. The sequence of views is captured by a camera. The monitor can display a portion of the camera view. The system is configured such that the displayed portion of the camera view includes the key view to a driver of the vehicle. The key view can be selected to be a rearward view when the vehicle is not turning, and a view of cross traffic from a side opposite which a turn is made at an intersection.

An information processing device (1) according to the present disclosure includes a prediction unit (occlusion prediction unit 4). The prediction unit (occlusion prediction unit 4) predicts, in a case where a subject (101) in an image captured in time series by an imaging device (100) is hidden behind a foreground, a position of the subject (101) in the image behind the foreground on a basis of an image of the subject (101) in the image before being hidden behind the foreground and motion information of the imaging device (100) detected by a motion detection device (device motion information sensor 111).

A method of controlling a display device may comprise: identifying a first area among all areas of a content displayable on a display; and scanning multiple pixel lines by multiple pixel lines in the first area and scanning one pixel line by one pixel line in a second area among all the areas of content which remain after excluding the first area, wherein at least one of a size and a position of the first area and a number of first areas is variable.

There is provided with an image shake correction device that controls an image correction unit and corrects an image shake of a captured image. The image shake correction device calculates a first correction amount to be used for correcting the image shake while shooting moving images and a second correction amount to be used for correcting the image shake while shooting still images based on a shake detection signal. The image shake correction device selects the correction amount to be used for correcting the image shake from either the first correction amount or the second correction amount and executes a control that updates an intermediate calculation value of the calculation unit corresponding to the correction amount that has not been selected from either the first calculation unit or the second calculation unit, with a value of the correction amount that has been selected.

An apparatus includes an input circuit configured to receive a sequence of pictures and a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be configured to (i) determine respective picture brightness values for each of a reference picture and a target picture selected from the sequence of pictures, (ii) remap image data of at least one of the reference picture and the target picture based upon the respective picture brightness values, and (iii) perform motion detection between the reference picture and the target picture utilizing the remapped image data.

Targeted messages are sent to users of social networking system (SNS) based on the detection of airings of advertisements in time-based media. This approach allows advertisers to leverage their investment in, for example, television advertising by sending advertisements to SNS users who have likely seen the advertisements within shows that they have expressed interest in the context of a SNS. Time-based media streams are analyzed to detect the airings of advertisements within those streams. In one embodiment, SNS content items are received regarding individual users. Based on references in those content items between users and their interests, targeted messages may be sent to users. In another embodiment, targeted messages are sent to SNS users based on the airing of advertisements and targeting criteria provided by advertisers.

In order to detect interlace errors in a video signal, one receives successive digitally coded frames, each frame comprising data for a field of a first type and data for a field of a second type (i.e. a top field and bottom field or vice versa). One then generates for each field of the first type:—a first difference signal (D1 F1) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the previous frame;—a second difference signal (D1 F2) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the same frame; and—a third difference signal (D1 F3) representative of the difference between the field and the second-type field of the following frame. Then, in dependence of the values of said difference signals, a decision signal (wOFlag) is generated indicating an estimated temporal relationship of the field to the second-type field of the same frame. This can be compared with a signal (IDFO) indicating a purported temporal relationship, and an alarm signal (wEFlag) generated in the event of a mismatch.
