IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, IMAGING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457217 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, IMAGING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can acquire images, detect objects of different types, determine a main object based on the detection results, and track the main object.
- Memory device stores instructions
- Processor executes instructions
- Acquisition unit acquires image
- Detection unit detects objects of different types
- Main object determination unit determines main object
- Tracking unit tracks main object
- Re-determination of main object if different type object is detected while tracking

Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to function as an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image, a detection unit configured to detect objects of different types, a main object determination unit configured to determine an object as a main object based on a result of the detection by the detection unit, and a tracking unit configured to track the object determined as the main object by the main object determination unit. In a state where the object being tracked is continuously detected by the detection unit, in a case where an object of a type different from a type of the object being tracked is detected in addition to the object being tracked, the main object determination unit re-determines which type of object is the main object.
