==IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING SUBJECT DETECTION IN MULTIPLE-EXPOSURE IMAGE WITH HIGH PRECISION AND HIGH SPEED, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461240 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING SUBJECT DETECTION IN MULTIPLE-EXPOSURE IMAGE WITH HIGH PRECISION AND HIGH SPEED, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The image pickup apparatus described in the patent application is capable of processing subject detection in a multiple-exposure image with high accuracy and speed. It includes a processor, memory, and various units for acquiring, synthesizing, and detecting subjects in images.

* Acquisition unit acquires images of multiple frames
* Synthesis unit combines images to create a multiple-exposure image
* First detection unit identifies subjects in the frames
* Determination unit determines the subject type of the main subject in the multiple-exposure image
* Second detection unit detects subjects of the determined subject type in the multiple-exposure image

== Potential Applications ==
* Photography
* Surveillance systems
* Image processing software

== Problems Solved ==
* Improving subject detection accuracy in multiple-exposure images
* Enhancing processing speed for subject detection
* Streamlining image acquisition and synthesis processes

== Benefits ==
* High accuracy in subject detection
* Fast processing speed
* Efficient handling of multiple-exposure images


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image pickup apparatus capable of processing subject detection in a multiple-exposure image with high accuracy and high speed is provided. The image pickup apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as an acquisition unit to acquire images of a plurality of frames, a synthesis unit to synthesize the images of the plurality of frames to generate a multiple-exposure image, a first detection unit to detect at least one or more subjects with respect to at least one of the images of the plurality of frames, a determination unit to determine a subject type of a main subject of the multiple-exposure image based on a detection result obtained by the first detection unit, and a second detection unit to detect a subject of the determined subject type in the multiple-exposure image.
