A system control unit controls an action regarding imaging by an imaging unit according to an instruction from a user. The system control unit automatically controls the action regarding the imaging by the imaging unit based on a preset condition. The system control unit chronologically records details of the control of the action of the imaging unit according to the instruction from the user as operation information. The system control unit chronologically records details of the automatic control of the action of the imaging unit as change information. The system control unit plays back the chronological details of the control of the action of the imaging unit based on the recorded operation information and change information.

This invention provides an image capturing apparatus having an interface for connecting with a device including a programmable integrated circuit, and a storage unit for storing configuration data of the programmable integrated circuit, wherein the apparatus comprises an updating unit which updates the configuration data of the storage unit of the device via interface; and a determining unit which determines whether the updating is completed by the updating unit, wherein the updating unit writes, via the interface, the configuration data to the storage unit by issuing a updating request to the device and transferring the configuration data, and receives, via the interface, the configuration data by issuing a readout request to the device, wherein the determining unit determines whether the updating is completed by determining whether the received configuration data matches the written configuration data.

A system for dynamic image compression in autonomous vehicles with multiple cameras. The cameras of a vehicle may be prioritized based on various features, and different image compression techniques may be assigned to different cameras in the vehicle, based on the priorities of the cameras, to reduce overall processing load of the vehicle.

Color filters are used for color images obtained using imaging devices such as conventional image sensors. Imaging elements with color filters are sold, and an appropriate combination of the imaging element and a lens or the like is incorporated in an electronic device. Only providing a color filter to overlap a light-receiving region of an image sensor reduces the amount of light reaching the light-receiving region. An imaging system of the present invention includes a solid-state imaging element without a color filter, a storage device, and a learning device. Since the color filter is not included, colorization is performed on obtained monochrome image data (analog data), and coloring is performed using an AI system.

An electronic device, for supporting image capturing by an imaging apparatus, includes at least one processor and/or at least one circuit which function as: a generating unit configured to generate a first object in a virtual space corresponding to a current image capturing range of the imaging apparatus, and a second object in a virtual space corresponding to an image capturing range in a case where the imaging apparatus has a predetermined position and a predetermined orientation; and a display control unit configured to display the first object and the second object.

An imaging apparatus including: an image sensor unit; and a camera unit from which the image sensor unit is detachable, in which the image sensor unit includes at least an image sensor and a first storage unit in which first correction data are stored, the camera unit includes at least a control unit, and the control unit performs an update determination process for determining whether or not the first correction data stored in the first storage unit have been updated.
