    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, a controller, and a user interface. The image sensor captures a subject image to generate imaging data. The controller performs repair processing to generate a moving image file from a corrupted file, the moving image file being capable of reproducing a moving image indicated by the imaging data, the corrupted file having a defect as the moving image file. The user interface inputs a user operation related to the repair processing. The controller receives a user operation selecting a specific corrupted file from one or more of corrupted files via the user interface, and performs the repair processing on the selected corrupted file in response to the user operation.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image by receiving light of a plurality of colors, to generate image data; a controller that controls the image sensor; and an adjuster that adjusts a light reception rate, in each position on an incident surface, the light reception rate allowing the image sensor to receive the light color by color, the incident surface being entered by the light corresponding to an image represented by the image data. The controller controls the adjuster to render the light reception rate of a specific first color in a position corresponding to part of the image on the incident surface different from the light reception rate of a first color in other positions, and causes the image sensor to capture the image with the light reception rate of the first color rendered different by the adjuster, generating image data representing the image.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus system includes: one or more image sensors; an interface device for acquiring data; a storage; and one or more signal processing circuits. The one or more image sensors generate video data by capturing images. The interface device acquires at least one of audio data acquired during image capturing and biometric data that is biometric information of a user acquired during the image capturing. The storage records a data set in which at least one of the audio data and the biometric data is correlated with the video data. The one or more signal processing circuits determine an emotion the user felt regarding an event that was occurring at the time of the image capturing, using at least one of the video data, the audio data, and the biometric data, and that execute an image editing process on the video data depending on the determined emotion.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image by receiving incident light, to generate image data; a controller that controls an image shooting operation using the image sensor; a recorder that records the image data as a result of the image shooting operation; and an adjuster that adjusts a light reception rate in each position on an incident surface, the light reception rate allowing the image sensor to receive the light, the incident surface being entered by the light corresponding to an image represented by the image data. The controller controls the adjuster to render the light reception rate in a position corresponding to part of the image on the incident surface different from the light reception rate in another position thereon, and causes the image sensor to capture the image with the light reception rate rendered different by the adjuster in the image shooting operation.

    Abstract: A signal processing device includes an input interface, an image processor, an audio processor, and a controller. The input interface receives signals of a video and an audio acquired concurrently in a space where subjects exist. The image processor recognizes subject images in the video, to determine a first type of area where each subject exists. The audio processor recognizes sound sources in the audio, to determine a second type of area where each sound source exists in the space, independently of the first type of area. The controller uses the first and second types of areas to judge coincidence or non-coincidence between a position of the each subject and a position of the each sound source, to determine a combination of a subject and a sound source whose positions coincide with each other. The controller selectively determines the subject image to be output that corresponds to the combination.
