Abstract

The present technology relates to an exposure control device, an exposure control method, a program, an imaging device, and a mobile body that allow for appropriate exposure control.The exposure control device includes: a wave-detection unit that calculates a wave-detection value, in a captured image taken by an imaging unit, by assigning a smaller weight to an area that is predicted to go out of an angle of view of the imaging unit within a predetermined time; and an exposure control unit that performs exposure control of the imaging unit on the basis of the wave-detection value. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging device or an imaging system provided in a mobile body such as a vehicle, a robot, or the like.
