Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for reducing a perceived latency associated with uploading and annotating video data. For example, video data may be divided into video sections that are uploaded individually so that the video sections may be annotated as they are received. This reduces a latency associated with the annotation process, as a portion of the video data is annotated before an entirety of the video data is uploaded. In addition, the annotation data may be used to generate a master clip table and extract individual video clips from the video data.

Abstract: A first imaging unit detects far-infrared rays and captures a first image. A second imaging unit detects light having a wavelength range shorter than a wavelength range of the far-infrared rays and captures a second image. An unevenness correction unit performs unevenness correction processing on the first image. A correction data acquisition unit acquires correction data for correcting unevenness. A light irradiation determination unit determines whether or not the second imaging unit is irradiated with light having a wavelength range captured by the second imaging unit. A control unit causes the correction data acquisition unit to acquire the correction data in a case where the light irradiation determination unit determines that light irradiation is not performed on the second imaging unit.
