Abstract: A head-up display device includes: an indicator dimmed by duty ratio control and configured to emit display light; a mirror member rotatable about a rotation shaft and configured to reflect the display light from the indicator to project a display image; a control unit configured to control the dimming of the indicator and the rotation of the mirror member; and a temperature sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to an ambient temperature around the indicator. The control unit includes: a temperature prediction unit configured to predict a temperature of the indicator, and a failure avoidance unit configured to execute lowering an upper limit of the duty ratio or rotation control of the mirror member for reducing the amount of sunlight that enters the indicator through the mirror member when the predicted temperature of the indicator is greater than or equal to a threshold.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a frame image acquisition section adapted to acquire a plurality of consecutive frame images included in a moving image displayed on a screen, and a matching process section adapted to perform, for each of the plurality of acquired frame images, a matching process of detecting an area that matches a template image representing appearance of a display element to be detected. An area in which the display element is being displayed on the screen is identified on a basis of a result of performing the matching process on the plurality of frame images.

Abstract: An attention position detection section detects an attention position of a user to a reproduction image of moving image data. Image-related information indicating a position of a virtual division area in which the reproduction image is virtually divided and an importance level of the virtual division area is associated with the moving image data. A reproduction control section determines the importance level of the virtual division area corresponding to the attention position detected by the attention position detection section and controls a reproduction operation of the moving image data in accordance with the determined importance level. For example, the reproduction control section sets a larger number of images to be thinned in the reproduction operation as the importance level becomes lower so as to make the reproduction speed faster. The user can control the reproduction operation only by moving the attention position and easily perform the appropriate reproduction operation.

Abstract: Captured images acquired by a plurality of imaging units are output to a captured image combining unit, which generates a composite image by joining the captured images in accordance with composite setting information generated by a composite setting information generation unit. A specific region information generation unit generates specific region information indicating the specific region corresponding to a specific imaging region in the composite image. In accordance with the specific region information, the captured image combining unit can easily perform an invalidation or emphasizing process, for example, on the image corresponding to the specific imaging region. The specific region information is also associated with the composite image generated by the captured image combining unit, so that reproduction control on the specific region corresponding to the specific imaging region in the composite image can be performed at the time of reproduction or the like of the composite image.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device enabling performance of display that causes a user to recognize a position in a picture. Display of a screen is controlled, the screen includes a visual-field picture displaying a region of part of a three-dimensional picture, an indicator having a shape expressing a three-dimensional direction of the three-dimensional picture and a window expressing the region displayed as the visual-field picture in the indicator. The three-dimensional picture is an entire-celestial-sphere picture. Furthermore, the indicator is a three-dimensional sphere with wire frame.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device enabling performance of display that causes a user to recognize a position in a picture, an information processing method, and a program. Display of a screen is controlled, the screen including: a visual-field picture displaying a region of part of a three-dimensional picture; an indicator having a shape expressing a three-dimensional direction of the three-dimensional picture; and a window expressing the region displayed as the visual-field picture in the indicator. The three-dimensional picture is an entire-celestial-sphere picture. Furthermore, the indicator is a three-dimensional sphere with wire frame. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a head-mounted display or the like that displays a three-dimensional picture, such as an entire-celestial-sphere picture.
