An image evaluation device includes a determination result acquisition unit acquires a result of determining the presence or absence of a difference between an object image that is one of a plurality of images that include three or more images obtained by imaging substantially the same spatial region and each of reference images that are images other than the object image among the plurality of images and an evaluation index acquisition unit configured to acquire an evaluation index for the plurality of images on the basis of at least one of the number of determinations of the presence of the difference between the object image and each reference image and the number of determinations of the absence of the difference between the object image and each reference image.

Systems and methods provide for editing of spherical video data. In one example, a computing device can receive a spherical video (or a video associated with an angular field of view greater than an angular field of view associated with a display screen of the computing device), such as by a built-in spherical video capturing system or acquiring the video data from another device. The computing device can display the spherical video data. While the spherical video data is displayed, the computing device can track the movement of an object (e.g., the computing device, a user, a real or virtual object represented in the spherical video data, etc.) to change the position of the viewport into the spherical video. The computing device can generate a new video from the new positions of the viewport.

The image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain image data that is derived from at least one of captured images obtained by a plurality of image capturing devices and is used for generating a virtual viewpoint image; and an adding unit configured to add at least one of image capturing setting information, image capturing condition information, image capturing target information, and image capturing right information to the image data obtained by the obtaining unit.

An imaging device including an image sensor that captures a video; and a processor configured to extract a first frame from a plurality of frames constituting the video captured by the image sensor to generate a first static image file, generate a video file constituted of a plurality of frames including the first frame from the video, and store the video file, the first static image file, and additional information indicating a position of the first frame in the video file.

An imaging device according to a first aspect of the present invention includes an imaging section that captures a video, a static image file generation section that extracts a first frame from a plurality of frames constituting the video and generates a static image file, a video file generation section that divides the video in accordance with the generation of the static image file to generate a plurality of video files, and a storage section that stores the static image file in association with a first video file that includes the first frame among the plurality of video files.

A method of partial frame perception, comprising receiving a bottom portion of an inverted image, detecting traffic areas of interest in the bottom portion of the inverted image, streaming the detected traffic areas of interest to a perception processor, receiving a top portion of the inverted image, detecting stationary areas of interest in the top portion of the inverted image and streaming the detected stationary areas of interest to the perception processor.

Various techniques for providing video feed redundancy are described herein. Instructions may be provided for switching input to an output video feed between two or more redundant input video feeds. In some examples, the redundant input video feeds may not be duplicates, may not be frame synchronized, may not be transmitted from the same location, may not be transmitted using the same network types or transmission protocols, and/or may not be initiated at the same time. In some examples, the instructions for video feed redundancy may be associated with respective authorization keys for the redundant input video feeds.
