Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of achieving high accuracy in an index representing vegetation. An image processing apparatus (1) includes a normal map generation unit (12) and a reflection characteristic model generation unit (18). The normal map generation unit (12) obtains a normal vector characteristic based on a polarized image acquired. The reflection characteristic model generation unit (18) estimates a reflection characteristic model based on the normal vector characteristic obtained by the normal map generation unit (12).

Abstract: An optical wavelength band to be detected is flexibly changed. An imaging device according to an embodiment includes a coded mask (103) including two or more kinds of band bus filters that are arranged in a two-dimensional grating pattern and that transmit light of different wavelength bands, a light receiving unit (10) that receives modulated light modulated by the coded mask and generates observation signal data, and an image reconstruction processing unit (52) that reconstructs the observation signal data generated by the light receiving unit to generate image data.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a distance measuring device, a method for controlling the same, and a distance measuring system that allow for generation of a high-resolution depth image with high accuracy from sparse depth information. The distance measuring device includes: a light receiving unit that has a plurality of pixels that receive reflected light obtained from irradiation light reflected by an object; a high-resolution processing unit that generates a high-resolution depth image from a sparse depth image acquired by the light receiving unit; and a position determination unit that determines an active pixel in which a light receiving operation is performed in the light receiving unit on the basis of edge information of the high-resolution depth image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measuring system or the like that detects a distance to a subject in a depth direction.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a distance measuring device, a control method thereof, and a distance measuring system capable of arranging sample points of a pixel array so as to obtain more distance information. A distance measuring device includes: a pixel array in which pixels that receive reflected light obtained by reflecting irradiation light from an object are arranged in a matrix; a determination unit that determines some of the pixels of the pixel array as a sample point for detecting distance information; and a storage unit that stores a sample point state table that stores distance information of the sample point and a sample point movement rule table that stores a movement rule of the sample point, in which the determination unit updates position information of the sample point on the basis of the sample point state table and the sample point movement rule table. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measuring system or the like that detects a distance from a subject in a depth direction.
