Title:
IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/026618
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This technology relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program which make it possible to perform appropriate exposure control and appropriately capture an image of a desired subject. This imaging device is provided with an imaging unit including a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics, and an exposure control unit that sets information relating to exposure control for the plurality of pixels according to specification information specifying the type of an object to be measured. Alternatively, the imaging device is provided with an imaging unit including a plurality of pixels having different spectral characteristics, and an exposure control unit that sets information relating to exposure control for the plurality of pixels on the basis of the respective output prediction values of the plurality of pixels based on the spectral characteristic of an object to be measured. This technology is applicable, for example, to an imaging device for sensing vegetation.
