Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus including a ratio calculation unit that calculates a first ratio of a bit assignment relating to transmission of a biological image on the basis of image capture conditions and a bit assignment determination unit that determines the bit assignment on the basis of the first ratio. In addition, provided is a control system including an image capture apparatus that captures an image of an object, the control apparatus including the ratio calculation unit that calculates the first ratio on the basis of the image capture conditions relating to the object, the bit assignment determination unit that determines the bit assignment, an image processing unit that performs image processing based on the captured image and the bit assignment and generates the biological image, and an output apparatus that outputs the biological image based on the bit assignment.

Abstract: To correct blurring without removing a screen motion caused by a biological body motion. [Solution] An image processing apparatus includes: a blurring amount estimation unit configured to estimate a blurring amount of a medical image including a biological body motion of a subject; and a blurring correction processing unit configured to perform blurring correction processing so as not to remove a screen motion caused by the biological body motion, on a basis of the blurring amount. This configuration makes it possible to correct blurring without removing a screen motion caused by a biological body motion. Thus, an optimum image for observing a biological body motion can be obtained.

Abstract: There is provided a solid-state imaging device including: a pixel region that includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional matrix pattern. Some of the plurality of pixels are configured to be phase difference detection pixels that include a photoelectric conversion section disposed on a semiconductor substrate and a light blocking film disposed above a portion of the photoelectric conversion section. In particular a location of the light blocking film for the phase difference detection pixels varies according to a location of the phase difference detection pixel. For example, the location of the light blocking film for a phase difference detection pixel positioned at a periphery of the pixel region is different than a location of the light blocking film for a phase difference detection pixel positioned in a center portion of the pixel region.
