Abstract
A first control amount of an image capturing device is estimated based on a region of an object detected from a captured image by the image capturing device. A second control amount of the image capturing device instructed in accordance with a user operation is acquired. A parameter required for the estimating is updated based on a difference between the first control amount and the second control amount.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- obtain an image feature amount in a region of an object detected from a captured image by an image capturing device;
- estimate a first control amount of the image capturing device based on the image feature amount in the region of the object, image coordinates of the region, and a likelihood of the region;
- acquire a second control amount of the image capturing device instructed in accordance with a user operation;
- and
- update a parameter used for the estimation of the first control amount, based on a difference between the first control amount and the second control amount.
A system comprising an image capturing device and an information processing apparatus operable to control the image capturing device, wherein
- the information processing apparatus comprises:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- obtain an image feature amount in a region of an object detected from a captured image by an image capturing device;
- estimate a first control amount of the image capturing device based on the image feature amount in the region of the object, image coordinates of the region, and a likelihood of the region;
- acquire a second control amount of the image capturing device instructed in accordance with a user operation;
- and
- update a parameter used for the estimation of the first control amount, based on a difference between the first control amount and the second control amount.
An information processing method, comprising:
- obtaining an image feature amount in a region of an object detected from a captured image by the image capturing device;
- estimating a first control amount of an image capturing device based on the image feature amount in the region of the object, image coordinates of the region, and a likelihood of the region;
- acquiring a second control amount of the image capturing device instructed in accordance with a user operation;
- and
- updating a parameter used for the estimating, based on a difference between the first control amount and the second control amount.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to
- obtain an image feature amount in a region of an object detected from a captured image by an image capturing device;
- estimate a first control amount of the image capturing device based on the image feature amount in the region of the object, image coordinates of the region, and a likelihood of the region;
- acquire a second control amount of the image capturing device instructed in accordance with a user operation;
- and
- update a parameter used for the estimation of the first control amount, based on a difference between the first control amount and the second control amount.
