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 7):
The imaging control device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the modifier acquires illuminance information indicating an illuminance that is a detection result according to an illuminance sensor that detects an illuminance of an environment in which the imaging device is arranged, and performs 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 the illuminance indicated by the acquired illuminance information becomes smaller.
