Abstract: The technology relates to an imaging apparatus, an imaging control method, and a program for resuming tracking from an appropriate position at an end of tracking. The imaging apparatus includes a focus control section configured to control a tracking function of tracking a tracking target and keeping the tracking target in focus, and a setting section configured to move a tracking start position during tracking on the basis of a predetermined condition. The technology may be applied, for example, to the imaging apparatus having the tracking function.

Abstract: An imaging device includes an autofocus control unit that performs autofocus control in response to detection of a first operation using a first operator, and a tracking processing unit that performs tracking processing for a subject to be focused in response to detection of a second operation using a second operator different from the first operator in a state where autofocus control is performed in response to the first operation.

Abstract: A control device including a main subject detection unit that detects a first main subject from among subjects included in a first image, and acquires main subject information indicating the first main subject, a distance information calculation unit that detects a distance of a subject included in a first image, and acquires first distance information indicating the distance, and a detection unit that detects a distance within which a first main subject is included on the basis of main subject information and first distance information, and acquires main subject distance information indicating the distance within which the first main subject is included.

Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method for image processing are disclosed herein. The method, implemented in an image-processing device, comprises computation of a plurality of boundary-connectedness values associated with a plurality of regions in a plurality of Boolean maps. The plurality of Boolean maps corresponds to a plurality of color channels of an image. The plurality of boundary-connectedness values associated with the plurality of regions is compared with a pre-specified threshold value. A first set of regions is identified from the plurality of regions in the plurality of Boolean maps as a set of foreground regions, based on the comparison.
