An apparatus, system, and method allow a user to initiate a live stream that includes retrospectively captured images. Initiating the live stream includes providing provisional data that includes retrospectively captured images to a wireless radio.

An image processing apparatus of an embodiment is an image processing apparatus including a first image processing section configured to perform image processing for frames which are designated as processing target frames, a failure diagnosis processing section configured to perform failure diagnosis of the first image processing section at each frame period, and a failure diagnosis control section configured to control execution of the failure diagnosis processing section. The failure diagnosis control section includes a signal selecting section that gives notice of a failure diagnosis permission state which is a state where the first image processing section is capable of executing failure diagnosis. The signal selecting section outputs a failure diagnosis start permission signal at a time point of receiving a pseudo image processing completion signal from a failure diagnosis processing start timing generating section if the input frame is a processing non-target frame.

An image terminal apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to image an object continuously and generate image data sequentially; a buffer memory configured to store temporarily and sequentially the image data; an I/F circuit configured to sequentially write the image data stored in the buffer memory on a recording medium attached externally; a communicating circuit configured to sequentially transmit the image data stored in the buffer memory through communication with a peripheral device according to a predetermined communication standard; a detecting circuit configured to detect a remaining amount of data storable in the buffer memory; a first determining circuit configured to determine whether the remaining amount is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold; and a data control circuit configured to control a mode of the image data sequentially stored in the buffer memory based on a determination result by the first determining circuit.

An image processing apparatus includes an image extraction image data input unit, a frame image data extraction unit, and an angle of view adjustment unit. The image extraction image data input unit accepts, in parallel with photography to acquire moving image data, image extraction image data representing a still image and acquired by photographing an event. The frame image data extraction unit extracts frame image data from the moving image data using extraction information included in the image extraction image data. The angle of view adjustment unit adjusts an angle of view to an angle of view region in an image represented by the frame image data, based on angle of view setting information included in the image extraction image data.

A system and method allows a user to enter a command capture audio, video, and/or still pictures that commence at a moment in time earlier than entering the command.

The present disclosure provides an image capture, curation, and editing system that includes a resource-efficient mobile image capture device that continuously captures images. The mobile image capture device is operable to input an image into at least one neural network and to receive at least one descriptor of the desirability of a scene depicted by the image as an output of the at least one neural network. The mobile image capture device is operable to determine, based at least in part on the at least one descriptor of the desirability of the scene of the image, whether to store a second copy of such image and/or one or more contemporaneously captured images in a non-volatile memory of the mobile image capture device or to discard a first copy of such image from a temporary image buffer without storing the second copy of such image in the non-volatile memory.

An image processing method and an image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing method includes acquiring information of a first region of interest (ROI) in a first frame, estimating information of a second ROI in a second frame that is received after the first frame, based on the acquired information of the first ROI, and sequentially storing, in a memory, subframes that are a portion of the second frame, each of the subframes being a line of the second frame. The image processing method further includes determining whether a portion of the stored subframes includes the second ROI, based on the estimated information of the second ROI, and based on the portion of the stored subframes being determined to include the second ROI, processing the portion of the stored subframes.

An information processing apparatus 14 includes a reception unit 22 that receives information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device, an extraction unit 28 that extract a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified by the information received by the reception unit 22 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance, a generation unit 30 that generates the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of image data extracted by the extraction unit 28, and a transmission unit 32 that transmits the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit 30 to the imaging device.

The image generation apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a base image, a reference image, the respective exposure values associated with the base image and the reference image, and a pseudo-exposure value different from the respective exposure values associated with the base image and the reference image; an estimation unit configured to estimate a conversion parameter; and a generation unit configured to generate a pseudo-image regarded as an image photographed with the pseudo-exposure value by converting the luminance value of the base image for each of the pixels based on the respective exposure values associated with the base image and the reference image, the pseudo-exposure value, and the conversion parameter.
