IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18299227 Titled 'IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an imaging apparatus that can communicate with a wireless terminal held by an object. The apparatus has two detection units - one that detects the position of the wireless terminal based on radio waves and another that detects the position of the object based on image data. A tracking unit controls the apparatus to track the position detected by either detection unit. A determination unit assesses the stability of detection by both units. If the stability of one unit is low, the control unit activates the other unit. If the stability of the other unit is high, the operation of the first unit is stopped.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging apparatus capable of communicating with a wireless terminal held by an object, comprising: a first detection unit configured to detect a position of the wireless terminal based on a direction of radio waves received from the wireless terminal held by the object; a second detection unit configured to detect a position of the object based on image data obtained by an imaging unit; a tracking unit configured to control the imaging apparatus so that a position detected by the first detection unit or the second detection unit is tracked; a determination unit configured to determine a stability of detection by the first and second detection units; and a control unit configured to, if the stability of detection by one from among the first and second detection units is determined to be less than a first value by the determination unit, cause the other detection unit to operate, and configured to stop the operation of the one detection unit if the stability of the other detection unit is determined to be a second value or above by the determination unit.
