An imaging device includes: a capture control unit configured to control the imaging device to execute movie capture while performing capture parameter alternation control based on capture parameter control information received from an external device, the capture parameter control information instructing alternation of a capture parameter, the alternation being changed in time series.

A device based system for interacting around a collection of user definable moments portraying a theme readable by others via a filter. Users may participate actively, voyeuristically, passively, or vicariously, to share propaganda, graffiti, news, parody, satire, opinions, information, commentary, entertainment, contests, and amusement to a location or an object.

One or more image processing apparatuses, one or more control methods therefor, and one or more storage mediums for use with same are provided herein. In at least one embodiment provided herein, an image processing apparatus includes a determining unit configured to selectively determine from a plurality of data formats a data format of still image data generated from un-development moving image data which may have a readjustable focal position, an instructing unit configured to instruct to output the still image data, and a generating unit configured to generate from the un-development moving image data the still image data in the data format determined by the determining unit in a case where the instructing unit instructs to output the still image data.

Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing metadata-based photo and/or video animation. For instance, multiple images (e.g., still images) of a scene may be combined into an image sequence. An image may be selected from the multiple images to represent the scene. Such an image may be referred to as a primary image. Metadata may be associated with the primary image. The metadata may include a reference to the image sequence.

An imaging device includes an imaging element that acquires a first image based on signal charge generated during a first accumulation time, and a second image based on signal charge generated during a second accumulation time relatively longer than the first accumulation time and synchronized with the first image during a synchronization period including the first accumulation time, and a moving image file generating unit that generates a moving image file including a first moving image based on the first image, a second moving image based on the second image, and synchronization information for synchronizing the first moving image and the second moving image frame by frame.

It is an object to improve usability at the time of photographing or reproducing in an imaging apparatus including a plurality of imaging units. In order to achieve the above object, an imaging apparatus including a plurality of imaging units includes a setting unit that sets a plurality of photographing modes which are settable in advance, a unit that controls a plurality of imaging units in accordance with a set photographing mode, and a manipulation unit. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an imaging apparatus with excellent usability capable of controlling a plurality of imaging units independently or simultaneously such that imaging is performed with a simple manipulation when a desired photographing mode is selected by a user.

An augmented reality moment file which is represented by an augmented reality icon recordable and readable by a device having a processor in proximity to the locus of a recorded moment file configured to receive an augmented reality moment file. The content of the augmented reality moment file is preferably assessable via a user selectable icon either representative of a user, location, and/or theme. The icon assessable user created content moment file, in addition to content and a position, preferably also includes recorder identification, a recorded time, an expiration, and media such as text, an image, a video, a sound recording, a game play instruction, a game play move, and/or a setup menu.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program, and a recording medium that can generate graphics in colors in a predetermined dynamic range from the data of graphics of colors in a plurality of dynamic ranges. A processor identifies an SDR PDS that is an information item of a color in the SDR available for the graphics, an HDR PDS that is an information item of a color in the HDR available for the graphics from a graphics stream including the SDR PDS, and the HDR PDS, and a segment_type used to identify the SDR PDS and the HDR PDS on the basis of the segment_type. A CLUT management unit generates the SDR graphics on the basis of the SDR PDS identified by the processor. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to a reproducing device.

A photographing device according to the present invention comprises: an imaging section that captures a subject image and outputs image data; a motion picture recording section that records a motion picture based on the image data; a parameter setting section that sets a photographing parameter to change a photographing state; and a parameter control section that automatically changes the photographing parameter during the recording of the motion picture regardless of the set photographing parameter.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, and a method to improve operability of the information processing apparatus when a user manages still image files in a case where a still image is extracted from a moving image file and stored as a still image file. In information processing apparatus and the method, a moving image file is selected from a plurality of moving image files and is reproduced, and a folder corresponding to the selected moving image file is created. A still image file is generated based on a video frame extracted from the moving image file being reproduced, and the generated still image file is stored into the created folder in association with the folder. When another moving image file is selected, another folder is newly created, and a still image file generated from the other moving image file being reproduced is stored into the other folder.
