IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323037 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image capturing apparatus that works with an information processing apparatus to combine images of real and virtual spaces.

  • The image capturing apparatus includes an imaging unit that captures images of a subject using an imaging optical system.
  • It also has a determination unit that determines the viewing angle mode of the image capturing apparatus from a range of modes.
  • A generation unit generates camera data that includes a first parameter indicating the determined mode and a second parameter representing the lens position of the imaging optical system.
  • The camera data, including the first and second parameters, is transmitted to the information processing apparatus as camera setting information.
  • The first and second parameters are used to identify the viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image capturing apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus that performs processing of combining an image of a real space and an image of a virtual space, the image capturing apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject formed by an imaging optical system, a determination unit configured to determine at least one mode among a plurality of modes related to a viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus, a generation unit configured to generate camera data including a first parameter indicating the mode determined by the determination unit and a second parameter corresponding to a lens position of the imaging optical system, and a transmission unit configured to transmit camera setting information including the camera data to the information processing apparatus, wherein the first parameter and the second parameter are used to identify the viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus.
