    摘要: There is provided an image acquisition controller for acquiring an adapted image. The image acquisition controller comprises an interface towards a first image sensor, the first image sensor being arranged to acquire an image, and an interface towards a gaze tracking unit, the gaze tracking unit comprising a second image sensor for registering a gaze position on a scene associated with the image acquired by the first image sensor. The image acquisition controller is arranged to periodically receive information over the interface towards the gaze tracking unit about at least a position on the scene associated with the image provided from the first image sensor where the scene represents a larger part of an image registered by the first image sensor than intended to be acquired as the adapted image. The image acquisition controller is arranged to provide information over the interface towards the first image sensor about a position on the first image sensor, a size of a sensor area associated with the position on the first image sensor and a frame rate for image acquisition within said area. The image acquisition controller is arranged to receive image data over the interface towards the first image sensor wherein the image data at least comprises image data with the size, the position on the first image sensor, and the frame rate for image acquisition within said area such that the received image data is stored. An image acquisition system or device comprising the controller, a communication device with corresponding image acquisition capabilities, a method of image acquisition, and a computer program for implementing the method are also disclosed.

    摘要: A gaze detection apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: a gaze detection unit configured to detect, based on an eye image in which an eye of a user is imaged, a gaze position which is a position at which the user looks; an orientation detection unit configured to detect a head orientation which is an orientation of a head of the user, based on the eye image; a calibration unit configured to acquire a first correction value for reducing a detection error of the gaze position by a predetermined calibration operation; and a correction unit configured to correct the first correction value, based on gaze information related to a current gaze position, a head orientation during the predetermined calibration operation, and a current head orientation.

    摘要: There is provided an imaging device and an imaging method that can perform imaging while appropriately adjusting each of exposure of SDR video and exposure of HDR video. The imaging device includes: an SDR signal processing unit configured to generate SDR video on the basis of a video signal output from an imaging element; an HDR signal processing unit configured to generate HDR video on the basis of the video signal; an SDR/HDR exposure adjusting unit configured to adjust each of exposure of the SDR video and exposure of the HDR video; an SDR exposure adjusting unit configured to adjust only the exposure of the SDR video; an SDR recording unit on which the SDR video is recorded; an HDR recording unit on which the HDR video is recorded; and a display unit configured to display SDR exposure information about the SDR video and HDR exposure information about the HDR video together with the SDR video and the HDR video. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a camera capable of simultaneously producing SDR video and HDR video.

    摘要: A video surveillance system includes a plurality of cameras including an action recognition engine that classifies the video content to at least one of a plurality of predetermined actions in real time. The action recognition engine of a first camera communicates with at least one other action recognition engine, whereby detected actions and tasks related to the detected action can be exchanged. The cameras include a feature encoder operatively coupled to the action recognition engine that generates an encoded feature substream and a video encoder that receives the video content and provides an encoded video substream. A multiplexor receives the encoded feature substream and encoded video substream and generates an encoded camera bitstream including encoded video content and detected action content, which can be decoded at a receiver site for human and machine consumption.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus which detects information about a human, including detecting a first gesture. The first gesture indicates at least one of a direction in which an object is present, a position at which the object is present, and an area in which the object is present. In response to detection of the first gesture, information about the object is acquired and a main subject is determined in accordance with a result of acquisition of the information or in accordance with a result of detection of the information about the human.

    摘要: Provided is a method performed in a portable terminal mounted on a rotatable terminal cradle to generate a 360° captured image by controlling operations of the terminal cradle. The 360° captured image is used generate a virtual space corresponding to a captured real space. Communication is established with the terminal cradle; an image generation input is received from a user; a first captured image is generated by imaging in an imaging direction that the terminal faces; driving commands are transmitted to the terminal cradle to rotate the imaging direction of the terminal clockwise or counterclockwise; a second captured image is generated by imaging in the changed imaging direction when the terminal cradle rotates according to the driving command; and presence of a human object is determined by recognizing objects in the first and second captured images, and re-imaging is performed in the imaging direction when a human object is present.
