  • Patent number: 11062170
    Abstract: A filter section uses pixel signals of a polarization image generated by an imaging section, in which polarization pixels with a plurality of polarization directions are provided in a predetermined array, to perform a filter process of the image signals arranged in a polarization order in a predetermined rotation direction to extract polarization components. Further, in the imaging section, the polarization pixels with the plurality of polarization directions may be provided in a polarization order of a predetermined rotation direction in at least one of the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. The filter section can acquire polarization components, which vary in response to a polarization cycle, with high accuracy from the polarization image generated by the imaging section.

  • Patent number: 10636168
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus and method and a program which enable more accurate estimation of a pose. A matching unit performs matching processing on the basis of a detection result of a feature point from an input image and a three-dimensional map indicating a position of a landmark in real space, and a pose estimating unit estimates a pose on the basis of a result of the matching processing. A three-dimensional map updating unit updates the three-dimensional map on the basis of a three-dimensional shape model indicating a position and a shape of a recognition target, a detection result of the feature point from the input image and an estimation result of the pose so that only a portion of the recognition target is registered as the landmark. The present technology can be applied to a wearable information terminal apparatus.
