An image-capturing apparatus according to the present invention includes: an image sensor; a gaze detecting sensor configured to detect a gaze of a user; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an object-detecting unit configured to detect an object from an image captured by the image sensor; and a control unit configured to, if the object-detecting unit detects an object of a specific type in a case where a state of the gaze detecting sensor is a first state for detecting the gaze, change the state of the gaze detecting sensor to a second state in which an electric power consumption of the gaze detecting sensor is less than in the first state.

An imaging device includes an image sensor configured to capture a subject image at a predetermined frame rate and generate imaging data for each frame; and a controller configured to control a display to display a captured image corresponding to the imaging data for each frame, wherein first follow-up information can be displayed on the captured image in the display with a frame delay to indicate a result of a first follow-up operation of following a subject on the captured image, and the controller generates second follow-up information that is displayed in a delay period shorter than the frame delay of the first follow-up information to indicate a result of a second follow-up operation different from the first follow-up operation.

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for dynamic field of view selection in video. An apparatus includes a processor and memory that stores code executable by the processor to capture a 360-degree video using a 360-degree camera system, detect a direction that a user is looking within the 360-degree video captured using the 360-degree camera system, and set a field of view for the 360-degree video based on the detected direction that the user is looking.

An imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an imaging unit (10) having a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels is arranged; a readout controller (11) that controls readout of pixel signals from pixels included in the pixel region; a unit-of-readout controller (123) that controls a unit of readout that is set as a part of the pixel region and for which the readout controller performs the readout; and a recognition unit (14) that has learned training data for each of the units of readout. The recognition unit performs a recognition process on the pixel signal for each of the units of readout, and outputs a recognition result which is a result of the recognition process.

A hand-held or otherwise portable or spatial or temporal performance-based image capture device includes one or more lenses, an aperture and a main sensor for capturing an original main image. A secondary sensor and optical system are for capturing a reference image that has temporal and spatial overlap with the original image. The device performs an image processing method including capturing the main image with the main sensor and the reference image with the secondary sensor, and utilizing information from the reference image to enhance the main image. The main and secondary sensors are contained together within a housing.

There is set forth herein a system including a camera device. In one embodiment the system is operative to perform image processing for detection of an event involving a human subject. There is set forth herein in one embodiment, a camera equipped system employed for fall detection.

The present disclosure provides a photo-taking prompting method and apparatus, an apparatus and a non-volatile computer storage medium. On the one hand, a user's image information is collected while the user finds view, then the user's face posture information is obtained from the image information, then face posture information of a preset photo-taking template is compared with the user's face posture information, and the user is prompted to adjust the face posture according to a comparison result. The technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may implement prompting the user's face posture adjustment while the user finds view and thereby implement providing guidance for the user's face posture, and solve the problem in the prior art about failure to perform photo-taking guidance while the user finds view.

The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a digital photography system. The method includes obtaining, by a device, image data and audio data. The method also includes identifying one or more objects in the image data and obtaining a transcription of the audio data. The method also includes controlling a future operation of the device based at least on the one or more objects identified in the image data, and the transcription of the audio data.

A projector for illuminating a target area is presented. The projector includes an array of emitters positioned on a substrate according to a distribution. Each emitter in the array of emitters has a non-circular emission area. Operation of at least a portion of the array of emitters is controlled based in part on emission instructions to emit light. The light from the projector is configured to illuminate the target area. The projector can be part of a depth camera assembly for depth sensing of a local area, or part of an eye tracker for determining a gaze direction for an eye.
