Abstract: An image processing system includes circuitry that determine whether a focus operation is performed on an image, and processes the image in a high resolution mode when the focus operation is determined to be performed. The circuitry processes the image in a low resolution mode when the focus operation is determined not to be performed. The resolution of the image is lower in the low resolution mode than in the high resolution mode.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal processing device and method, and a program that enable appropriate conversion of the dynamic range of an output signal.Upon receipt of a notification of detection of an output device from an HDMI interface, an information acquisition unit controls the HDMI interface to acquire output device information from the output device. On the basis of the output device information from the HDMI interface, a device type determination unit determines the type, the capability, and the like of the connected output device, and controls a dynamic range conversion unit in accordance with a result of the determination. The present disclosure can be applied to a signal output system that outputs signals, for example.

Abstract: There is provided an imaging section that allows multiple pixels generating a pixel signal based on incident light to act as polarization pixels each having one of multiple polarizing directions. A polarization element is attached on the side of the incidence plane side of the imaging section, causes linearly polarized light to enter the imaging section. A control section, for example, controls a sensitivity detecting section to detect a sensitivity level in each of the polarizing directions of the polarization pixels in the imaging section. An image signal processing section performs gain adjustment on the polarization pixels on the basis of the sensitivity level detected in each of the polarizing directions by the sensitivity detecting section, and carries out image composition using the gain-adjusted image signals to generate a captured image having wide dynamic range with minimum motion blur.

Abstract: A polarization filter effect is prevented from being changed due to a change in orientation of an imaging apparatus.An imaging apparatus according to the present technique includes an imaging section including a first pixel capable of receiving light in a first polarization direction and a second pixel capable of receiving light in a second polarization direction different from the first polarization direction, a detection section detecting an orientation of the imaging section, and an image generating section generating, on the basis of signals for the first and second pixels, an image corresponding to a polarization direction corresponding to a detection result from the detection section. Thus, as an image corresponding to a particular polarization direction, that is, an image corresponding to application of a polarization filter effect, an image can be generated that corresponds to a polarization direction corresponding to a change in the orientation of the imaging section.
