Abstract:
An imaging control device includes: a first location estimator that estimates a future location of a vehicle using an advancing direction, velocity vector, or route data of the vehicle; a surface estimator that estimates a rate of change in the road surface height in the advancing direction or the road surface state at the future location, using surface information for estimating the road surface shape or state at the future location, detected by a sensor, or an image of the road surface at the future location, captured by an imaging device; a modifier that modifies a parameter of the imaging device according to the rate of change in the road surface height in the advancing direction or the road surface state; and a controller that causes the imaging device of the vehicle to perform imaging using the modified parameter, at a timing at which the vehicle passes the future location.

Claim (Index 6):
The imaging control device according to  claim 1 ,\n further comprising a velocity corrector that estimates a movement velocity of an object, based on a change in a location of the object, which is included in each of a plurality of images obtained by the imaging device performing imaging a plurality of times, and causes the modifier to perform at least one of (i) modifying the shutter speed to a value that becomes smaller, and (ii) modifying the sensitivity to a value that becomes larger, as a magnitude of the estimated movement velocity becomes larger.
