*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18192857 Titled 'IMAGING CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, IMAGING CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an imaging control apparatus that can acquire both visible light and nonvisible light image data. It includes a control unit, a processing unit, and a determining unit. The control unit controls the imaging unit to capture nonvisible light image data and performs image processing using either the visible light or nonvisible light image data. The determining unit helps determine the appropriate imaging scene for the control unit to decide whether to capture nonvisible light image data and perform image processing accordingly.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An imaging control apparatus includes a control unit configured to acquire visible light image data and nonvisible light image data through imaging by an imaging unit, a processing unit configured to perform image processing using at least one of the visible light image data and the nonvisible light image data, and a determining unit configured to determine an imaging scene. The control unit controls whether or not to perform imaging for the nonvisible light image data by the imaging unit and image processing using the nonvisible light image data in the processing unit according to a determination result of the imaging scene.
