Abstract: A control apparatus includes one or more memories storing instructions, and one or more processors that, upon execution of the stored instructions, are configured to perform determination processing to determine a focus degree of each of two or more partial areas in a captured image acquired by a camera, and select, based on the determined focus degree of each of the two or more partial areas, a subject detection area in the captured image acquired by the camera.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a multi-spectral sensor that outputs multiple wavelength signals, a detection circuit that detects a luminance signal in accordance with a spectral characteristic of a desired object on the basis of a detection signal generated using the multiple wavelength signals outputted from the multi-spectral sensor, and a control circuit that performs exposure control in accordance with the spectral characteristic of the desired object on the basis of a detection value of the detection circuit.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of further improving operability. A virtual touch panel surface that does not actually exist is set in a space in front of a display surface of a display. Then, a touch operation on the virtual touch panel surface performed by a user is detected on the basis of position information of a specific site of a body used by the user for the touch operation on the virtual touch panel surface, and processing corresponding to the detected touch operation is executed.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus that can enhance the accuracy of detection of halation by taking into account the influence of halation on visibility of an object, and also effectively suppress the influence of halation independently of the type of a light source. An evaluation unit evaluates the luminance of the object based on an exposure level at which image data of the object is acquired. A detection unit detects t halation based on the luminance of the object, a first luminance area having a higher luminance than a first luminance threshold value, and a distribution status of another luminance area which is an area having a lower luminance than the first luminance area and is distributed around the first luminance area.
