Description

This invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program. In imaging devices such as digital cameras, various image processing and image reconstruction processing (hereinafter also referred to as development processing) based on imaging conditions are performed on the captured image (RAW image) obtained through imaging. However, the CPU in imaging devices has limited processing power, and depending on the scale of the image processing calculations, it may take a long time to process. Generally, while image processing is being performed on a captured image, the CPU prioritizes image processing and does not accept other processing, making it impossible to take the next image. In particular, when performing continuous imaging and processing multiple images, it takes a considerable amount of time to return to a state where imaging is possible.
