Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and a method for calculating an imaging ratio for clipping image generation that is an index value for more reliably executing clipping image generation processing including a notable subject from a captured image of a PTZ camera. In a configuration in which an image clipping region including the notable subject is calculated from the captured image of the PTZ camera, and the image of the calculated region is clipped to generate the clipping image, the imaging ratio for clipping image generation is calculated as an index value for executing the clipping image generation processing including the notable subject. Furthermore, a zoom parameter for capturing an image according to the imaging region size of the camera calculated from the imaging ratio for clipping image generation is calculated, and the PTZ camera is caused to execute image capturing to which the calculated parameter is applied.
