Automatic exposure control of an in-vehicle camera is performed under dark driving environments such as at night. An in-vehicle camera system includes a vehicle camera mounted in a vehicle configured to capture surroundings of the vehicle, and control circuitry that controls an exposure level of an image captured by the vehicle camera, the control of the exposure level being based on brightness information of a detection area set within the image, the detection area being a portion of the captured image and configured to output the image having exposure control performed thereon to a display.

Image tracking apparatus

An image tracking apparatus, which tracks a subject in a moving image, comprising: an image acquisition device that acquires image data indicating the moving image; a first detector that detects a first area of a subject in acquired image data to track the first area in the moving image; a second detector that detects a second area of a subject in the image data to track the second area in the moving image; and a controller that tracks the subject by switching between a tracking result of the first detector and a tracking result of the second detector. The first and the second detector operate independently. The controller tracks the subject using the tracking result of the first detector when the first area is tracked, and tracks the subject using the tracking result of the second detector when the first area is not tracked and the second area is tracked.

Indoor camera and action log recording system

An indoor camera includes: an image capturing unit; a storage unit configured to store at least one detection area in association with stagnation times, the detection area that is a target area for detecting stagnation of a pet, and the stagnation times indicating the number of times when the pet enters the detection area and stagnates in the detection area; and a processor configured to detect a position of the pet and count the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area based on captured images. If determining, based on the captured images, that the pet stagnates in the detection area for a predetermined time period or longer, the processor increments and counts the stagnation times of the pet in the detection area and generates an action log including identification information of the detection area and information on the stagnation times.
