Abstract: The performance of a discriminator is improved at low cost. An image quality parameter group in the development processing is obtained so that the discrimination success rate of a discriminator based on developed image data obtained by performing the development processing on captured image data is increased. For example, the discrimination success rate is obtained by comparing a discrimination result from the discriminator with the correct answer discrimination result in a ground truth database. Since the image quality parameter group in the development processing is optimized in accordance with a discriminator, a preprocessing unit for enhancing the discrimination performance of the discriminator is unnecessary. The performance of a discriminator can be improved at low cost.

Abstract: An image quality of a captured image captured by a camera is adjusted to be close to a predetermined image quality. A first image quality evaluation value is obtained on the basis of developed image data obtained by performing development processing on captured image data. An image quality parameter group in the development processing is obtained to decrease a difference between the first image quality evaluation value and a second image quality evaluation value serving as a reference. Alternatively, a plurality of first image quality evaluation values is obtained on the basis of a plurality of pieces of developed image data obtained by performing development processing on each of a plurality of pieces of captured image data. An image quality parameter group in the development processing is obtained to decrease a difference between each of the plurality of first image quality evaluation values and a second image quality evaluation value.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus and method, and a program to allow easier and quicker adjustment of an angle of view. The imaging apparatus photographs and displays a live view image, while a user adjusts the angle of view by seeing the live view image to cause the imaging apparatus to photograph an image to be photographed. At this time, an internal information detecting unit detects information about the photographed image as internal detected information, and an external information detecting unit detects conditions or the like of the imaging apparatus as external detected information. A photographing settings changing unit determines whether astronomical photographing is to be performed according to at least the internal detected information or the external detected information, and sets an upper limit value of the shutter speed during photographing the live view image to be larger in the astronomical photographing than the value of the normal photographing.
