CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18317961 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control apparatus that can automatically control the angle of view of a camera.

  • The control apparatus includes an acquiring unit that collects information about a three-dimensional space and a three-dimensional figure specified by a user.
  • A determining unit uses this information to determine a search area.
  • The control unit then adjusts the angle of view of the camera to ensure that the main object in the search area is captured within the imaging angle of view.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire information about three-dimensional space obtained using a distance measuring unit and information about a three-dimensional figure specified by a user, a determining unit configured to determine a search area based on the information about the three-dimensional space and the information about the three-dimensional figure, and a control unit configured to automatically control an angle of view so that a main object in the search area is included in an imaging angle of view.
