Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a solid-state imaging device, a control unit has each of a plurality of pixels execute a unit operation a plurality of times during a frame period without outputting a signal based on a voltage of the charge-to-voltage converter via an amplifying unit. The unit operation includes a reset operation, a charge storage operation, and a transfer operation. The reset operation resets a photoelectric conversion unit while keeping a transfer unit in non-active state. The charge storage operation releases reset of the photoelectric conversion unit to have the photoelectric conversion unit store charges while keeping the transfer unit in the non-active state. The transfer operation transfers charge in the photoelectric conversion unit to the charge-to-voltage converter by keeping the transfer unit in active state.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera module has an exposure control unit. When an exposure error has reached within a coring range by first exposure control, the exposure control unit switches exposure control from the first exposure control to second exposure control. The exposure error shows a deviation of an exposure evaluation value to an exposure target value. In the second exposure control, an exposure change amount is reduced than at the time of the first exposure control. When the exposure error has reached a zero level by the second exposure control, the exposure control unit stops the exposure control.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus has a focus control unit. The focus control unit retrieves a focusing point by setting a cutback threshold as a first value. The focus control unit executes a driving operation of an image pickup lens depending on a contrast evaluation value in the case in which the cutback threshold is set to be a second value. The second value is smaller than the first value. The focus control unit executes a driving operation of the image pickup lens depending on a contrast evaluation value in the case in which the cutback threshold is changed from the second value to the first value.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a signal processing device includes a high spatial frequency range component evaluation unit configured to evaluate a high spatial frequency range component of each of basic colors for each of divided regions for an image picked up by an image pickup device, the divided regions being obtained by dividing an imaging surface of the image pickup device into a plurality of regions, a subject distance estimation unit configured to estimate a subject distance for each of the divided regions on the basis of the high spatial frequency range component, a filter coefficient generating unit configured to generate a filter coefficient for each of the divided regions on the basis of the subject distance, and a filter operation unit configured to perform a filter operation on the high spatial frequency range component by use of the filter coefficient.
