An image capturing apparatus comprises an obtainment unit configured to obtain defocus amounts at a plurality of positions within an image capturing range of the image capturing apparatus, and an output unit configured to obtain information instructing a rotation of the image capturing apparatus based on a difference between defocus amounts that the obtainment unit obtained, and output the obtained information.

Image capturing apparatus and method of controlling image capturing apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire images each of which is an image having a first data amount acquired through image-capturing, a detection unit configured to detect an attention target in each of the images, a specification unit configured to specify a geographical range based on a geographical position where the detected attention target exists, and a conversion unit configured to convert an image of at least a part of the images into an image having a second data amount that is smaller than the first data amount according to an inclusion relationship between the specified geographical range and a geographical position where each of the images having the first data amount is acquired.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

A camera platform apparatus () sequentially moves an image capturing direction of an image capturing apparatus () with respect to an object to be inspected. The image capturing apparatus () acquires a captured image of each section of the object by performing image capturing in each image capturing direction. A computational operation apparatus () records a focus control position for each section of the object whose image is captured by the image capturing apparatus () in each image capturing direction. In a case where AF is not successful when image capturing is performed on a section whose image is not yet captured, the computational operation apparatus () sets an allowable range of the focus control position for the section for which the AF is not successful based on the recorded focus control positions, and the computational operation apparatus () controls the image capturing apparatus () to perform focus BLK image capturing within the set range.

Information processing apparatus, image capturing system, method of controlling image capturing system, and non-transitory storage medium

A video processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input information instructing a focus position, in a first shooting, an acquisition unit configured, in a case in which the information instructing a focus position has been input by the input unit, to acquire position information indicating the instructed focus position, and time information indicating a time at which the focus position has been instructed, and a control unit configured to control a focus position in a second shooting based on the position information and the time information that have been acquired by the acquisition unit.

Video processing apparatus, video processing method, and program

A video processing apparatus controls an imaging apparatus capable of changing a focus position. A detection unit detects a focus position where a certain object is focused on. A controller controls the imaging apparatus such that a focus position in the imaging apparatus is changed to the focus position where the certain object is focused on which is detected by the detection unit in accordance with a certain operation.

Video processing apparatus, control method, and recording medium

It is an object of the present invention to improve visibility for observation with naked eyes or for camera shooting without spoiling the appearance during marking inside a transparent medium using a laser. By irradiating an inside of a transparent medium with a laser, the present invention forms a micro-denatured region in each of a first layer and a second layer inside the medium. The micro-denatured regions in the respective layers are arranged out of alignment with each other on a two-dimensional plane (refer to FIG.).

Information recording medium, information recording method, and information reproduction method

A video processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire annotation information corresponding to at least one associated video, which is associated with a video that is to be processed, and a display control unit configured to perform control to display, on a display screen for displaying the video that is to be processed, both the annotation information corresponding to the associated video acquired by the acquisition unit and the video that is to be processed.

Video processing apparatus, video processing method, and storage medium

A plurality of forecast weather groups in a period comprising a plurality of days including a forecast target day for forecasting the electric power demand, and a plurality of actual weather groups in a period in a plurality of days in the past are set as the target period, and the similarity between the forecast weather group and the plurality of actual weather groups is calculated, a trend of a subsequent electric power demand is predicted based on the comparison of the plurality of calculated similarities whereby the electric power demand of a forecast target day is known.

Forecast system and method of electric power demand

A power grid operation control system, device, and method for steadily operating a power grid while making the most of renewable energy. The power grid operation control system serves a power grid connected to a plurality of renewable energy and a plurality of thermal/hydroelectric power generators, and includes an automatic dispatching system, which controls the thermal/hydroelectric power generators, and a renewable energy generation control system, which controls the renewable energy. The automatic dispatching system controls the thermal/hydroelectric power generators by generating an automatic frequency control signal for correcting the power supply and demand imbalance of the power grid. The renewable energy generation control system determines an available connection capability and issues load instructions to ensure that the total power generation capacity of the renewable energy does not exceed the available connection capability.

Power grid operation control system, device, and method

A contents display apparatus, which stores display schedule information indicating display schedules of a plurality of contents so as to sequentially display the plurality of contents, and displays contents on a display according to the display schedule information, receives a user operation associated with the display while a content is displayed, determines, with reference to metadata of respective contents, a content which is related to the content displayed when the user operation is received, and changes the display schedule information by changing the display schedule of the content determined as a related content.

Contents display apparatus and control method thereof

An information processing apparatus for selecting images used in an album indicating a group of a plurality of images includes a person setting unit configured to set a person appearing in an image included in the album, an image evaluation unit configured to evaluate an image based on a composition of the image, a count unit configured to count a number of times in which the person set by the person setting unit appears in a plurality of images, and a selection unit configured to select images used in the album based on evaluation made by the image evaluation unit, and a count value obtained by the count unit.

Information processing apparatus, image selection method, album creation system, and storage medium

An imaging apparatus for shooting images includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about an evaluation of an identified individual in at least one shot image based on a composition of the image, and a presentation unit configured to present the information corresponding to the identified individual, wherein the information is used to support shooting of the images.
