IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236472 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an image capturing apparatus that includes various detection units to detect objects, postures, and focusing states, as well as a setting unit to determine whether to select the object as the main object based on posture and focusing state.
- Object detection unit to detect objects
- Posture detection unit to detect the posture of the object
- Focus detection unit to detect the focusing state of the object
- Setting unit to set a threshold value for selecting the object as the main object based on posture and focusing state
Potential Applications: - Photography and videography equipment - Surveillance systems - Autonomous vehicles
Problems Solved: - Efficient object selection in images - Improved focus on main objects - Enhanced image quality
Benefits: - Enhanced image clarity - Improved object recognition - Streamlined image capturing process
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Capture Technology for Enhanced Object Recognition This technology can be used in various industries such as photography, surveillance, and autonomous vehicles to improve image quality and object recognition capabilities, leading to better overall performance and user experience.
Questions about Image Capture Technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine the threshold value for selecting the main object? The setting unit analyzes the posture and focusing state of the object to set the threshold value for object selection.
2. What are the key advantages of using this image capturing apparatus? The apparatus offers improved object recognition, enhanced image clarity, and streamlined image capturing processes for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image capturing apparatus includes an object detection unit configured to detect an object, a posture detection unit configured to detect a posture of the object, a focus detection unit configured to detect a focusing state of the object; and a setting unit configured to set a threshold value for determining whether or not to select the object as a main object based on a posture and the focusing state of the object.
