GAZE TRACKING VARIATIONS USING SELECTIVE ILLUMINATION
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to eye tracking systems and methods which track eyes by illuminating the eyes using a light source and detecting the eye illuminations using a sensor. Implementations of the present disclosure may utilize wide angle lighting via a plurality of individual light sources which are each oriented in different orientations. A wide area may be illuminated by the different light sources, and these light sources may be selectively turned on and off based on a current location of a user.
CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND EXPOSURE CONTROL SYSTEM
There is provided a control device including a control unit configured to perform exposure control of a first pixel group and exposure control of a second pixel group independently of each other, the first pixel group and the second pixel group being disposed in a single imaging surface. The control unit controls gain or an exposure time of the first pixel group and gain or an exposure time of the second pixel group independently of each other.
IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORD MEDIUM
An object having a high attention degree is selected from objects detected by a detection means, brightness of a captured image is calculated by using an attention region corresponding to the selected object as a detection frame, and exposure control is performed based on the calculated brightness. The attention degree is evaluated higher with the decrease in the distance. Alternatively, the attention degree is evaluated higher as the direction becomes closer to the traveling direction. The attention region is made larger with the decrease in the distance to the object. It is also possible to judge the type of the object and determine the size of the attention region based on the result of the judgment. A subject to be paid attention to is made clearly visible.
POWER CONTROLLER, POWER CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
The present technology relates to a power controller, a power control method, and a program which appropriately supply power to an actuator for driving a shutter and an actuator for camera shake correction. A power controller includes a shutter controller for controlling a shutter driving unit, a camera shake correction controller for controlling a camera shake correction driving unit, and a power amount setting unit for setting amounts of power to be allocated to the shutter driving unit and the camera shake correction driving unit according to a set shutter speed. The power amount setting unit allocates the amount of power to be supplied to the camera shake correction driving unit when the shutter speed is equal to or less than a predetermined speed to the shutter driving unit in a case where the shutter speed is faster than a predetermined speed. The present technology available for an image pickup device.

HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE SYNTHESIS METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
In the technical solutions of a high dynamic range image synthesis method and an electronic device provided in embodiments of this application, a plurality of images with different depths of field in a current photographing scene are obtained based on an HDR photographing operation entered by a user, and each image has an exposure value. A plurality of images with a same exposure value are synthesized to generate a full depth-of-field image. Full depth-of-field images with a plurality of exposure values are synthesized by using an HDR algorithm to generate a high dynamic range image. Therefore, a high dynamic range image that is clear at each depth of field can be obtained, and a problem that a shallow depth of field leads to a blurred background and an insufficient dynamic range, and then results in overexposure or underexposure of a high dynamic range image can be resolved.
