Abstract
A display control apparatus includes circuitry configured to obtain information indicating a period to generate a panoramic image generated by a plurality of captured images, the period being specified by a user, to display a range in accordance with the obtained information on a user interface of a display unit, and to generate the panoramic image corresponding to the range displayed on the user interface.
Claims12
A display control apparatus for assisting capturing by an image capturing device that is capable of pan/tilt/zoom operation, the apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured:
- to obtain a time period input by a user, wherein the time period is a time period to generate a panoramic image, which is to be generated by a plurality of captured images;
- to display, on a user interface of a display unit, a first range indicating a whole range that can be captured by the image capturing device by the pan/tilt/zoom operation, and a second range indicating a range of a panoramic image that can be generated in a time period input by a user, wherein the second range is a portion of the first range;
- and
- to generate the panoramic image corresponding to the second range displayed on the user interface.
A display control method for assisting capturing by an image capturing device that is capable of pan/tilt/zoom operation, the method comprising:
- using a processor to perform:
- obtaining a time period input by a user, wherein the time period is a time period to generate a panoramic image, which is to be generated by a plurality of captured images;
- displaying, on a user interface of a display unit, a first range indicating a whole range that can be captured by the image capturing device by the pan/tilt/zoom operation, and a second range indicating a range of a panoramic image that can be generated in the time period input by the user, wherein the second range is a portion of the first range;
- and
- generating the panoramic image corresponding to the second range displayed on the user interface.
