A detection apparatus for detecting a subject in a digital image, including: an input and output interface to which a word for identifying the subject is input; and a processor configured to: receive the word for identifying the subject from the input and output interface; determine an attribute that is specified by the word for identifying the subject, the attribute being at least one of name, color, shape, size, and position; select a method of detection in accordance with the determined attribute; apply the selected method of detection to the digital image to detect the subject in the digital image; and output a result of the detection of the subject so as to cause a prescribed action to be performed with respect to the detected subject in the digital image.

Detection of object in digital image

A control section of an imaging apparatus sets a specific scene in advance, sequentially stores images continuously captured by an imaging section in a storage section, specifies images corresponding to the set specific scene from among the plurality of images stored in the storage section when a predetermined motion of the user is detected during the storing operation, and displays the specified images corresponding to the specific scene on a display section while continuing the storing operation. The control section controls when to start playback of an image of a segment corresponding to the specific scene based on whether or not the image of the segment corresponding to the specific scene is completely stored before a timing of detection of the predetermined motion of the user during the storing operation.

Imaging apparatus for displaying a specific scene while continuously photographing, image playback method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A location obtaining unit obtains information on a location of the image capture apparatus during image; a direction obtaining unit obtains direction of an object in an image captured; a device information obtaining unit obtains information on a location of a wireless device that is included by an object during image capture; a distance obtaining unit obtains a distance of the object in the image captured from the image capture apparatus; an object location calculating unit calculates a location of the object based on the information on the location of the image capture apparatus, a direction of the object in the image, and the distance of the object from the image capture apparatus; and an object identifying unit identifies that the object is the object including the wireless device if the location of the object and the location of the wireless device are within a predetermined range.

FIG.C depicts a live view screen when a movement is made in a direction of approaching the camera position at the time of pre-photographing (frontward direction) and also in the right direction in the drawing. When the camera position is changed, the display state of a provisional subject image in the live view screen is changed according to the change. In this case, the display size of the provisional subject image is changed according to the movement distance of the camera position in the frontward direction and the display position of the provisional subject image is changed in the left direction according to the movement distance in the right direction.

Imaging apparatus and imaging processing method capable of checking composition in advance, and storage medium therefor

A master camera sets temporary conditions at the time of executing photographing by a plurality of cameras, determines whether photographing by the plurality of cameras can be executed under the temporary conditions, sets actual conditions at the time of executing photographing by the plurality of cameras in accordance with this determination result, and executes control such that photographing by the plurality of cameras is executed under the actual conditions.

An image processing device executes: a determination process of determining similarity of a motion of a subject in each of a plurality of pieces of moving image data stored in the storing unit; a selection process of selecting a specific piece of moving image data from among the pieces of moving image data on the basis of the similarity determined by the determination step; and an output process of outputting information of a selection result by the selection step.

Image processing device for performing image processing on moving image

An image capturing device includes an image capturing unit, a detection unit, an area setting unit, and a focusing unit. The image capturing unit captures an image. The detection unit detects a shape of an image area of an observed subject to be focused in the captured image. The area setting unit sets one or more contrast evaluation areas according to the shape of the detected image area. The focusing unit causes the image capturing unit to focus based on image data in the set contrast evaluation areas.
