This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18316497 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURE CONTROL DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image capture control device that can estimate the orientation of a subject in an image and adjust the image capture direction accordingly.

  • The device has an estimation unit that can determine the orientation of a subject in an image.
  • A region control unit sets a specific region in the image capture range based on the estimated orientation of the subject.
  • The image capture control unit then adjusts the image capture direction based on whether the subject is within the predetermined region or not.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided with an image capture control device. An estimation unit estimates an orientation of the subject detected in an image captured by the image capture device. A region control unit sets a first region in an image capture range of the image capture device based on whether or not the estimated orientation of the subject is a predetermined orientation. An image capture control unit controls the image capture direction based on whether or not the subject is in the first region.
