Estimating the term…
A non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a processor, and an infrared LED and an imaging device are connected to the processor. The processor controls on/off of the infrared LED, and an image sensor images infrared images according to switching timings thereof. An image processing circuit estimates an influence (situation) of noise such as sunlight etc. based on respective infrared images at times when the infrared LED is turned on and off, and determines at least advisability of use of the imaging device (infrared sensor). A determination result about the advisability of use is applied to the processor from the image processing circuit, and when it cannot be used, a message to that effect is displayed on an LCD.
An information processing system, comprising:
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
A non-transitory storage medium storing an information processing program, wherein the information processing program causes a computer comprising a light emitting portion configured to emit infrared rays and an imaging portion configured to image an infrared image to perform:
An information processing method in the information processing system comprising a light emitting portion configured to emit infrared rays and an imaging portion configured to image an infrared image, comprising steps of:
