A same region detector detects a same region of a processing target for each of a plurality of different viewpoints from polarization images in a plurality of polarization directions acquired for each of the viewpoints. The polarization images in the plurality of polarization directions acquired for each of the plurality of different viewpoints are, for example, polarization images acquired by imaging over a period of a plurality of frames in which a positional relationship between the processing target and a polarization image acquisition unit that acquires the polarization images changes. A polarization degree calculation unit calculates a polarization degree of the same region for each of the viewpoints on the basis of the polarization images in the plurality of polarization directions. A reflection removal unit performs reflection removal processing on the same region of the processing target by using the polarization images in the plurality of polarization directions of the viewpoint at which the polarization degree calculated by the polarization degree calculation unit is maximized. A reflection component can be removed even when an angle between a plane direction of a reflecting surface and an imaging direction is not clear.

A system includes one or more video capture devices and a processor coupled to each video capture device. Each processor is operable to direct its respective video capture device to obtain an image of a monitored area and process the image to identify objects of interest represented in the image. The processor is also operable to generate bounding perimeter virtual objects for the identified objects of interest, each bounding perimeter virtual object surrounding at least part of its respective object of interest. The processor is further operable to determine danger zones for the identified objects of interest based on the bounding perimeter virtual objects. The processor is further operable to determine at least one near-miss condition based at least in part on an actual or predicted overlap of danger zones for multiple objects of interest, and may optionally generate an alert at least partially in response to the near-miss condition.

The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program that are able to effectively reduce noise. The image processing device according to the present technology includes a feedback rate setting section, a blending section, and a calculation section. The feedback rate setting section sets a feedback rate for pixels in a current line on the basis of a count that is set for pixels in a previous line. The current line and the previous line are among a plurality of lines forming an image. The pixels in the current line are to be subjected to a blending process of blending inputted pixels in the current line and already outputted pixels in the previous line.
