An image pickup apparatus that eliminate manual change of an image pickup direction during picking up an image and can easily obtain an image that records experience while focusing attention on the experience. An image pickup unit picks up a wide-angle image. A face direction detection unit detects a direction of a face of a user. A user movement detection unit detects a movement of the user. A processor executes a set of instructions stored in a memory device to detect a vertical movement and/or a horizontal movement of the face based on an output of the face direction detection unit, determine a position and/or a size of an extraction image extracted from the wide-angle image based on the direction and movements of the face and the movement of the user, and extract the extraction image from the wide angle image with the position and/or the size determined.

Wearable image pickup apparatus, portable device and calibrator that communicate with image pickup apparatus, control methods therefor, and storage media storing control programs therefor

An image pickup apparatus which is capable of reliably detecting a subject using a wireless tag and shooting the subject with a desirable composition and facial expression. The image pickup apparatus has an image pickup unit, a changing unit that changes an orientation of an optical axis of the image pickup unit, a receiving unit that receives a radio wave transmitted from an external wireless tag to detect a position of the wireless tag, and a subject detecting unit that detects a subject from image data output from the image pickup unit. When the subject is detected, whether or not to perform shooting is determined based on the image data. When the optical axis of the image pickup unit faces toward the wireless tag, a threshold value for detecting the subject is set to a smaller value than an initial value thereof.

An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a driving unit configured to drive a driving member configured to change an imaging direction of the image capturing unit, and a detection unit configured to detect a first voice command for performing specific processing and a second voice command for starting the detection of the first voice command. The driving unit limits the driving of the driving member in response to the detection of the second voice command by the detection unit.

Image capturing apparatus capable of recognizing voice command, control method, and recording medium

An image pickup apparatus that is capable of eliminating change of an image pickup direction by a user during an image pickup operation and of easily obtaining an image that records experience while focusing attention on the experience. An observation direction detection unit is worn on a body part other than a head of a user and detects an observation direction of the user. An image pickup unit is worn on a body and picks up an image. A recording direction determination unit determines a recording direction using a detection result of the observation direction detection unit. A deviation detection unit detects a deviation of the image pickup apparatus with respect to the body. An image recording unit records a part of the image picked up by the image pickup unit in a recording area that is determined in accordance with the recording direction and the deviation.

Image pickup apparatus used as action camera, calibration system, control method for image pickup apparatus, and storage medium storing control program for image pickup apparatus

The present invention relates to a method for inducing production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The method includes administering, to an individual, a composition including adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying a hPGIS gene coding for human prostacyclin synthase (hPGIS) which synthesizes prostaglandin I(PGI).

Method for inducing production of vascular endothelial growth factor

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject, a search unit configured to search for a subject which is an imaging target to be captured by the imaging unit, and a reception unit configured to receive a change instruction for changing the imaging target from the subject currently being captured by the imaging unit without specifying a change destination imaging target, wherein, in a case where the change instruction is received, the search unit searches for another subject.

Imaging apparatus capable of automatically capturing image of subject, control method, and storage medium

Drug compositions of angiogenesis therapy contain gene coding for human prostacyclin synthase (hPGIS) synthesizing prostaglandin Iwith activities of vasodialation and/or anti-platelet aggregation; drug compositions contain adeno-associated virus (AAV) inserted with gene for angiogenesis factors. The administration of the drug compositions into the aimed treatment region results in transfer of AAV type 1-hPGIS to skeletal muscles and induces a notable expression of human PGIS gene in skeletal muscles. The PGIis produced by mediation of the gene expression in the muscle cells, secreted, induces vessel-protective, neovascularization and anti-platelet aggregation actions, which lead to an improvement in vascular ischemia.
