An information processing apparatus characterized by comprising: at least one wireless communication means capable of executing a plurality of communication modes that include a first communication mode in which the wireless communication means communicates information concerning a predetermined service to be provided to an external apparatus with the external apparatus; basic configuration means for deciding whether to assign an IP address used for a second communication mode different from the first communication mode to the wireless communication means; and communication mode setting means for setting the IP address for the wireless communication means regardless of a decision by the basic configuration means if the first communication mode is enabled.

Information processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and program

An image processing apparatus processes a first image and a second image so as to detect a corresponding pixel in the second image which corresponds to a target pixel in the first image. The first image has a first parameter value, and the second image has a second parameter value different from the first parameter value. The first parameter value and the second parameter value are values of optical parameters of image capturing systems used to capture the first image and the second image. The image processing apparatus includes an area setter that sets a two-dimensional search area as a partial area in which the corresponding pixel is to be searched in the second image, based on a predetermined range in which each of the first and second parameter values can change, and a detector that detects the corresponding pixel by searching the two-dimensional search area.

Image processing apparatus, image capturing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

At least one image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit which photoelectrically converts object images formed by plural image pickup optical systems of different focal lengths. If an image plane most separated from an object side among the image planes of the plural image pickup optical systems is defined as a reference image plane, a longest distance among distances from a reference image plane to each of entrance pupil planes of the plurality of image pickup optical systems is defined as EPmax, a shortest distance among distances from the reference image plane to each of the entrance pupil planes of the plural image pickup optical systems is defined as EPmin, and a 35 mm equivalent focal length of an image pickup optical system having the longest focal length among a plurality of image pickup optical systems is defined as f, then EPmax, EPmin, and fsatisfy a predetermined condition.
