In a subject emphasizing device (20a) (information processing device), a visible-light moving image acquisition unit (31) (first acquisition unit) acquires a moving image including a subject (92) and a background, and a subject region extraction unit (33) extracts a region of the subject (92) from the moving image. Then, a background drawing unit (37) draws background information (94), in a region other than the region of the subject (92) in the moving image. An effect application unit (36) applies a visual effect to the region of the subject (92), on the basis of an intensity of the visual effect to be applied to the region of the subject (92), determined by an effect intensity calculation unit (35) according to a distance from a camera to the subject (92) (information about environment of acquiring the moving image). A video compositing unit (38) combines the region of the subject (92) to which the visual effect has been applied by the effect application unit (36) with the background information (94) drawn by the background drawing unit (37), generating a composite video (95).

Methods, systems, and computer program products of fusing Molecular Chemical Imaging (MCI) and Red Green Blue (RGB) images are disclosed herein. A sample is illuminated with illuminating photons which interact with the sample and are used to form MCI and RGB images. The MCI and RGB images are fused by way of mathematical operations to generate a RGB image with a detection overlay.

The tire sensing and analysis system may comprise a measurement device and local application software. The measurement device may make contact with a tire of a vehicle such that the measurement device is positioned at a specific distance and orientation relative to the tire. The measurement device may capture multiple images of the tire using an RGB camera and a pair of infrared cameras. The local application software may analyze the images and may construct a 3D mesh describing the 3-dimensional contours of the tread. The local application software may determine a tread depth and may display status and warning messages on a display unit that is coupled to the measurement device. The measurements may be communicated to remote application software for additional analysis. As non-limiting examples, the remote application software may detect specific tire wear patterns and may transmit a report to share results of the analysis.

A depth acquisition device includes a memory and a processor. The processor performs: acquiring timing information indicating a timing at which a light source irradiates a subject with infrared light; acquiring, from the memory, an infrared light image generated by imaging a scene including the subject with the infrared light according to the timing indicated by the timing information; acquiring, from the memory, a visible light image generated by imaging a substantially same scene as the scene of the infrared light image, with visible light from a substantially same viewpoint as a viewpoint of imaging the infrared light image at a substantially same time as a time of imaging the infrared light image; detecting a flare region from the infrared light image; and estimating a depth of the flare region based on the infrared light image, the visible light image, and the flare region.
