Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling an angle of view of an imaging apparatus includes an acquisition unit for acquiring an image captured by the imaging apparatus, a detection unit for detecting an object from the image, and a control unit for performing angle of view control on the imaging apparatus based on a difference between a position of the object in the image and a target position in the image. Whether to perform the angle of view control is determined based on the difference and at least one threshold for the difference. The angle of view control is performed by switching a plurality of control modes where control speed of the angle of view control is different based on any of a size of the object, the target position, and the at least one threshold.
