Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to let a user arbitrarily and easily see any other scene than himself or herself in his or her view (the scene seen from any other moving body than him or her). In a display device (an image pickup and display device 1 or a display device 40), specification information is generated to specify a specific image pickup device of outer image pickup devices (the image pickup and display device 1 or and image pickup device 30), and image data are received from the image pickup device specified by the specification information and are displayed. As an outer image pickup device, for example, and image pickup device wore by some other person, image pickup devices set at a car, an electric train, and the like, or further mage pickup devices set at an animal, a bird, and the like are supposed. Image data picked up by these image pickup devices are transmitted to the display side and the image display is carried out in the display device.

Abstract: A wearable device is provided that is used while being worn on a body of a user. The wearable device includes a biometric-information authentication portion that acquires biometric information from the user for biometric authentication. The wearable device acquires biometric information from a portion in contact with or in the vicinity of the user's body to perform the biometric authentication without requesting the user to operate for the biometric authentication.

Abstract: According to some aspects, an image display apparatus is provided comprising a display apparatus comprising a display section and a controller. The controller may be configured to display a map image via the display section, set location specification information based on an input specifying a position on the map image, and transmit the location specification information to a server apparatus, receive image data transmitted from the server apparatus in response to the transmission of location specification information to the server apparatus, the received image data having been obtained by photographing by an imaging section of an imaging apparatus configured to be worn on a head of a user, and the received image data having been transmitted to the server apparatus from the imaging apparatus in addition to additional data comprising location information detected at a time when the image data was photographed.

Abstract: If a user specifies a location on a map image, he or she can see an image shot at that location. An imaging apparatus (an imaging/display apparatus 1 or an imaging apparatus 30) placed on a movable body transmits shot image data to a server apparatus together with additional data that includes location information about a photographing point, so that they are stored in the server apparatus. That is, the server apparatus accumulates pieces of image data obtained by photographing in various places by a great number of imaging apparatuses together with the location information thereof. A user of the display apparatus (the imaging/display apparatus 1 or the display apparatus 40) specifies a location on the map image.

Abstract: An imaged image data processing apparatus includes obtaining means for obtaining imaged image data, which is imaged by an imaging section that images the sight of a user, extracting means for extracting identification data for identifying a viewed program from the imaged image data obtained by the obtaining means, and transmitting means for transmitting the identification data extracted by the extracting means to an external viewing information creating apparatus.

Abstract: A picture imaging apparatus includes: an imaging means for imaging a subject picture to acquire taken picture data; a storage processing means for performing a storage process of taken picture data acquired by the imaging means; a motion detecting means for detecting motion of the picture imaging apparatus itself; a manipulating means for manipulating a shutter; and a control means for instructing the imaging means to perform a process in accordance with a shutter manipulation at a timing based on a result detected in the motion detecting means during a period during which the shutter is being manipulated by the manipulating means.

Abstract: A photographing apparatus has two binocular stereoscopic modes. In two-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing monocular photographing twice, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. In one-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing binocular photographing once, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. When the 3D image file is recorded, a homogeneity tag is recorded in 3D metadata, as tag information of the header data portion of the 3D image file. The homogeneity tag is information about the homogeneity of the two monocular images and describes whether the two monocular images have been acquired in the one-take photography mode in which monocular images highly homogeneous are provided, or in the two-take photography mode in which monocular images not so homogeneous are provided.

Abstract: An image storage processing apparatus includes an image acquisition means for acquiring taken image data imaged at an imaging apparatus unit, a bio-information acquisition means for acquiring bio-information of a user of the imaging apparatus unit at the time of imaging the taken image data acquired by the image acquisition means, a subject information acquisition means for acquiring subject information as an image analysis result of the taken image data acquired by the image acquisition means and a storage processing means for performing processing of recording the taken image data acquired by the image acquisition means, the bio-information acquired by the bio-information acquisition means and the subject information acquired by the subject information acquisition means in a recording medium in a state in which they are associated with one another.

Abstract: An image-pickup apparatus includes an image-pickup section that picks up images to obtain picked-up-image-data items, a temporarily retaining section that temporarily retains the picked-up-image-data items, a storage-process section that performs a storage process on the picked-up-image-data items, a movement-detecting section that detects a movement of the image-pickup apparatus, an operation section that performs a shutter operation, and a control section that causes the temporarily retaining section to retain picked-up-image-data items in a shutter-operation period, that selects, on the basis of detection results obtained by the movement-detecting section in the shutter-operation period, a picked-up-image-data item from among the retained picked-up-image-data items, and that causes the storage-process section to perform the storage process on the selected picked-up-image-data item.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus that includes a sightline detection unit that detects the line of sight of a subject directed toward an imaging device in a captured image captured by the imaging device and containing at least one subject and a sightline indicating unit that clearly indicates, in correspondence to each subject, whether or not the line of sight of the subject directed toward the imaging device has been detected based upon sightline detection results provided by the sightline detection unit.

Abstract: There is provided an image processing device that includes a facial image extraction portion, a positivity computation portion, and a selected image update portion. The facial image extraction portion specifies a facial region of an imaged subject within at least one sequentially input selection-eligible image and extracts from the selection-eligible image a facial image that corresponds to the facial region. The positivity computation portion computes for the selection-eligible image, using the corresponding facial image, a positivity of the imaged subject toward a person who acquired the selection-eligible image.
