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 5):
The imaging control device according to  claim 1 ,\n further comprising a blurring corrector that acquires the image captured by the imaging device, detects blurring of an object within the image acquired, and, in a case where blurring of the object within the image is detected, causes the modifier to perform at least one of (i) modifying the shutter speed to a smaller value, and (ii) modifying the sensitivity to a larger value.
