Abstract
An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a signal that indicates a position of a pixel where a change in luminance has occurred and a time when the change in luminance has occurred, a determination unit configured to determine, on a pixel-by-pixel basis, an evaluation value corresponding to a frequency at which a change in luminance in a predetermined direction has occurred, based on the signal, a generation unit configured to generate an image indicating a direction of the change in luminance at the position of the pixel where the change in luminance has occurred, and a control unit configured to control display of the generated image based on the evaluation value.
