IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205532 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an image capturing apparatus that includes a device for capturing images, units for obtaining information about the position of the subject using different methods, and a unit for changing the angle of view of the device based on the obtained information.
- The apparatus obtains first information about the subject's position using a first method.
- It also obtains second information about the subject's position using a second method.
- The angle of view of the image capturing device is changed based on the first and second information.
- The changing unit can adjust the angle of view in different directions or change the magnitude of the angle of view.
Potential Applications: - Photography and videography equipment - Surveillance systems - Augmented reality devices
Problems Solved: - Enhancing image capturing capabilities - Improving accuracy in capturing moving subjects - Adapting to changing environments
Benefits: - Enhanced image quality - Improved focus on subjects - Increased versatility in capturing images
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Capturing Technology for Enhanced Photography This technology can be used in professional photography equipment, security cameras, and AR devices, offering improved image capturing capabilities for various commercial applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve image capturing in dynamic environments? - This technology adjusts the angle of view based on real-time information about the subject's position, allowing for better focus and accuracy in dynamic settings. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the photography industry? - This technology could revolutionize the way photographers capture images, offering new possibilities for creativity and precision in photography.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing device, a first obtainment unit that, using a first method, obtains first information that is information pertaining to a position of the subject; a second obtainment unit that, using a second method, obtains second information that is information pertaining to the position of the subject; and a changing unit that changes an angle of view of the image capturing device. the changing unit performs at least one of changing the angle of view in a first direction or changing a magnitude of the angle of view, based on the first information, and performs at least one of changing the angle of view in a second direction different from the first direction or changing a magnitude of the angle of view, based on the second information.
