Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus and an electronic apparatus that are capable of receiving light a plurality of times temporally per pulse emission. After instructing a light emitting unit to perform pulse emission, a control unit instructs an image sensor to start exposure at a time T11=(2×D11)/c, finish exposure at a time T21=(2×D21)/c, start exposure at a time T12=(2×D12)/c, finish exposure at a time T22=(2×D22)/c, start exposure at a time T13=(2×D13)/c, and finish exposure at a time T21=(2×D23)/c. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a gated imaging apparatus that is an apparatus that emits pulsed light and performs imaging for only a specific time period.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device and method, and program, whereby a high-quality loop moving image can be obtained more easily. Upon continuous shot images of multiple frames serving as material of a loop moving image being input, the continuous shot images are divided into multiple segments including motion segments including a moving subject and a still segment including a subject with no motion. An image of the motion segment region of the continuous shot images is formed into a loop moving image, and a segment loop moving image is generated. Also, an image of a still segment region of the continuous shot images is clipped out, and a segment image which is a still image is generated. Further, these segment loop moving image and segment image are integrated, to form one loop moving image. The present invention can be applied to an image processing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that make it possible to appropriately guide a flying object to a target object even in a case where a translucent substance such as fog exists. In a first period, a gated image of a target object is captured, and in a second period, a user handles a guidance control device for projecting a spotlight, in the same direction as an image capturing direction for capturing the gated image, by changing a distance and a direction, in order to bring the target object into a state in which the target object can be captured as the gated image, and then a laser pointer is projected on the target object. Thus, a flying object is guided toward reflected light that is the light of the laser pointer reflected by the target object, and thereby the flying object can be appropriately guided to the target object even in a case where a translucent substance such as fog exists.

Abstract: A distance is accurately measured by a ranging system that performs ranging by a ToF method. A ranging module includes a light receiving unit, a determination unit, and a ranging unit. The light receiving unit receives reflection light from an object and detects a received light quantity of the reflection light within a predetermined detection period every time the predetermined detection period elapses. The determination unit determines whether the object is moved during each of the predetermined detection periods. The ranging unit measures a distance to the object on the basis of received light quantity within a predetermined detection period during which it is determined that the object is not moved.

Abstract: An in-image capturing unit captures an image of a subject in a direction facing a front surface of an image processing apparatus, as an in-image, and an out-image capturing unit captures an image of a subject in a direction facing a back surface of the image processing apparatus, as an out-image. A signal processing unit obtains a binary image as additional information, the binary image being obtained by binarizing the in-image, for example, and adds the additional information to image data of the out-image. Additionally, the signal processing unit combines the binary image serving as the additional information with the out-image when the out-image is reproduced, and displays the resultant image. In such a manner, information obtained from the in-image is added to the out-image as additional information, and thus it is possible to more effectively display an image and improve convenience.
