A moving image generation system includes a plurality of image capture apparatuses respectively having an image capture unit and a CPU. The CPU is configured to sequentially select an image capture apparatus of which photographing area includes a subject according to each timing in photography among the plurality of the image capture apparatus that is disposed so as to differentiate their photographing areas; detect the subject from a plurality of moving images acquired by performing the photography by the image capture unit sequentially selected; according to each timing in the photography, select a moving image including a subject-included area that is a partial image area in which the detected subject is included at a predetermined position or in a predetermined size, among the acquired plurality of moving images, and execute selective clipping processing that clips an image within the subject-included area from the moving images thus selected; and transmit each of the images that is selectively clipped according to each timing in the photography to an external apparatus.

Moving image generation system that generates one moving image by coupling a plurality of moving images

A moving image generation system includes a CPU and memory storing programs which when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to perform: receiving a determination of whether a designated subject is present in each of a plurality of photographed frame images in moving images acquired by image capture devices that are disposed such that respective photographing areas thereof overlap; at certain timings, selectively clipping a subject-included image area from at least one of the photographed frame images, wherein the subject-included image area is a partial image area in which the subject is detected and included at a predetermined position and in a predetermined size in which all of the subject is provided and a predetermined margin can be provided around the subject; and coupling a plurality of selectively clipped image areas so as to generate a single moving image.

An imaging apparatus of the present invention, which is capable of wireless communication, images a peripheral imaging apparatus from among a plurality of peripheral imaging apparatuses around the imaging apparatus; detects predetermined information by which identification information identifying the peripheral imaging apparatus is identifiable from within the imaging frames; identifies the identification information by analyzing the detected predetermined information; selects a peripheral imaging apparatus to be a target for predetermined processing from among the plurality of peripheral imaging apparatus by using the identified identification information; and performs the predetermined processing with the selected peripheral imaging apparatus via the wireless communication.

Imaging apparatus capable of wireless communication

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.

Photographing controller for controlling photographing executed by a plurality of cameras

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

A camera device comprises a movable optical system, a driving unit which drives the optical system, and a control unit which makes the driving unit start driving of the optical system to a predetermined state by an initialization of the optical system by using an interrupt processing which is executed by setting an interrupt processing routine before the operating system is started, when the camera device is started up in a state in which an operation mode for photographing is set.

Camera device and method and program for starting the camera device

A camera device comprises a movable type optical system, a driving unit which drives the optical system, and a control unit which makes the driving unit start driving of the optical system to a predetermined position by an initialization of the optical system, before other initializations than the initialization of the optical system, when the camera device is started up in a state in which an operation mode for photographing is set.

A camera device comprises a movable optical system, a driving unit which drives the optical system, and a control unit which controls the driving unit to move the optical system to a predetermined state by an initialization processing based on a startup program which does not comprise an operating system and then controls the driving unit based on the control program comprising the operating system.

A camera device comprises an optical system driven to a predetermined position upon initialization when a photographing mode has been set, a memory including an area for storing lens information inherent to the optical system, an area for storing a file management program, and a management area which is managed by using the file management program, the area for storing the lens information differing from the management area, and a controller which controls the initialization of the optical system based on the lens information stored in the memory.
