There is provided an imaging apparatus including a user interface control section. The user interface control section performs a process of displaying a plurality of images in a stacked form as a first display mode of an image group including the plurality of images, a process of individually displaying each of the plurality of images as a second display mode of the image group, and a process of detecting an operation of recording a voice note corresponding to a selected image selected in the second display mode.

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 information processing system that acquires a first captured image; acquires a plurality of second images; and generates display data including the first captured image and at least a subset of the plurality of second images based on an evaluation parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of second images.

There are provided an imaging section imaging a subject and generating a plurality of images; an evaluating section performing evaluation on the plurality of images generated by the imaging section; a selecting section selecting, based on an evaluation result of the evaluating section, a part of images from among the plurality of images generated by the imaging section; a recognizing section performing scene recognition on a plurality of images selected by the selecting section; and a determining section determining, based on a recognition result of the recognizing section, reproduction order of the plurality of images subjected to the scene recognition.

An image capturing apparatus, comprises an image sensor; a focus detection unit; a continuous shooting unit; an estimation unit that estimates an in-focus position of an object based on a result of the focus detection and information relating to an accumulation timing; and a focus adjustment unit that performs focus adjustment, wherein, the image sensor performs accumulation of the focus detection signal in a time period in which a storage unit cannot store the image signal for recording, the focus detection unit performs the focus detection, and the estimation unit estimates the in-focus position at the time of acquiring the image signal that is acquired after the end of the time period, based on the focus detection result and the information relating to the accumulation timing of the focus detection signal.

According to one aspect, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing unit and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the apparatus to obtain a set of captured still images captured with a camera, detect at least one face in the captured still images, and cause display of the detected at least one face on a display providing a live viewfinder feed of a scene to be captured as an additional display element while providing the live viewfinder feed on the display.

Disclosed are an image selection method and an electronic device. In the method, an electronic device can detect feedback information related to a user operation. The feedback information may include an optimal image selected by a decision model and a changed optimal image. The feedback information may further include images that are deleted, browsed, added-to-favorites, or shared and operation records. The feedback information may further include a facial feature in a gallery and a proportion of images including the facial feature in the gallery. The electronic device adjusts, according to the feedback information, parameters of the decision model configured to perform image selection, to obtain an updated decision model. The electronic device can perform image selection according to the updated decision model. Through the implementation of the technical solution, a selected optimal image is more in line with user habits, thereby improving convenience.

A mobile terminal including a display unit; at least one camera; and a controller configured to perform first and second continuous shooting operations using the at least one camera for capturing a plurality of first images in the first continuous shooting operation and capturing a plurality of second images in the second continuous shooting operations, generate a combined image by combining a first image cluster generated from the plurality of first images and a second image cluster generated from the plurality of second images, and distinctively display the first and the second image clusters on the display unit.

A method and system of automatically recording baby photos and a computer program product can automatically capture baby photos according to a set shooting condition, and in a preset period, select a representative photo from the captured photos according to a set screening condition. Thus, users can save the process of repeatedly photographing and screening photos, and can directly enjoy the result of browsing photos of the growing process of the baby.

The imaging device includes: an imaging unit that generates image data from the optical information input through an optical system unit; an image processor that performs a predetermined process to the image data; and a controller that controls the optical system unit, the imaging unit, and the image processor based on a set value relating to video capturing. The controller sets the set value to a corresponding value relating to the video capturing in each of a first and a second video mode, and automatically sets the set value in the second video mode to a value more suitable for recording a still image so that image quality of a still image in the second video mode is greater than image quality of a still image in the first video mode. The video in the second video mode is captured from start to end of a video recording.
