Provided is an imaging control device including: a processor; and a memory connected to or built in the processor. The processor acquires a first image by causing an image sensor of an imaging apparatus to image first light with a first sensitivity, and acquires a second image by causing the image sensor to image second light with a second sensitivity. The first sensitivity is a sensitivity for representing shape information of a subject with a first gradation in the first image. The second sensitivity is a sensitivity for representing temperature information of the subject with a second gradation in the second image.

An optical apparatus includes: a light source unit that structures light into a plurality of light and dark line patterns and emits the light structured; a photodetector that detects, when an object is irradiated with the light emitted by the light source unit, light from the object; a modulator that modulates a predetermined region of the object; a controller that synchronizes the irradiation of the light emitted by the light source unit with the modulator; and a calculator that reconstructs a line image of the object by performing a cross-correlation operation between a signal outputted from the photodetector and a corresponding one of the plurality of light and dark line patterns.

A cabin monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly including a mirror head having a mirror reflective element that includes (i) a planar glass substrate, (ii) a transflective mirror reflector at the glass substrate and (iii) a light absorption film including a polarizer film. A camera accommodated by the mirror head views through the reflective element. A light emitter accommodated by the mirror head emits near infrared (NIR) light through the reflective element. The light absorption film attenuates greater than 60 percent of visible light and less than 30 percent of NIR light incident on the light absorption film and transmits less than 40 percent of visible light and greater than 70 percent of NIR light through the light absorption film. The camera captures image data representative of NIR light emitted through the reflective element and reflected from the interior cabin of the vehicle back through the reflective element.

A method of reduce the impact of noise on a depth image produced using a Time Of Flight (TOF) camera uses an infrared image produced from one or more phase-specific images captured by the TOF camera to determine whether to move pixels in the depth image from one phase section to another.

An image capture device is described. The image capture device includes a visible image sensor, an optical transfer medium, a non-pixelated non-visible sensitive light source, and a non-visible sensitizing part. The visible image sensor is configured to receive visible light indicative of a scene and generate an image depicting the scene. The optical transfer medium is on the visible image sensor. The optical transfer medium is constructed of a material operable to pass visible light indicative of the scene to the visible image sensor. The non-pixelated non-visible sensitive light source is connected to the optical transfer medium. The light source is configured to generate visible light indicative of the scene in response to non-visible medium stimulation. The non-visible sensitizing part is configured to detect the non-visible medium indicative of the scene.

A night vision device with distance measurement function is configured to obtain a distance between a target object and the night vision device with distance measurement function by inputting a size of the target object and by using a focal length of an objective lens unit, a pixel information of an image sensing module, and a resolution of a display unit. In this way, a simple, fast and inexpensive distance measurement can be achieved without the conventional laser rangefinder.
