Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program making it possible to achieve camerawork corresponding to changes in various conditions when controlling multiple robot cameras. Position information about a subject is acquired, timing information indicating a passage of time is acquired, and on a basis of the timing information and the position information about the subject, camerawork control information controlling the camerawork of an image capture apparatus that captures the subject is generated. The present disclosure is applicable to a switcher apparatus that controls multiple robot cameras.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- obtain a table set that includes timing information, position information indicating various possible positions of a subject for each timing designated in the timing information, and camerawork control information in association with one another;
- identify a piece of the camerawork control information from the table set for a particular image capture apparatus, the piece of the camerawork control information being registered in the table set in association with a particular timing designated in the timing information that corresponds to a current time and a particular position for the particular timing indicated in the position information that corresponds to a current position of the subject;
- and
- control the particular image capture apparatus to capture an image of the subject according to the identified piece of the camerawork control information.
An information processing method, comprising:
- obtaining a table set that includes timing information, position information indicating various possible positions of a subject for each timing designated in the timing information, and camerawork control information in association with one another;
- identifying a piece of the camerawork control information from the table set for a particular image capture apparatus, the piece of the camerawork control information being registered in the table set in association with a particular timing designated in the timing information that corresponds to a current time and a particular position for the particular timing indicated in the position information that corresponds to a current position of the subject;
- and
- controlling the particular image capture apparatus to capture an image of the subject according to the identified piece of the camerawork control information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform:
- obtaining a table set that includes timing information, position information indicating various possible positions of a subject for each timing designated in the timing information, and camerawork control information in association with one another;
- identifying a piece of the camerawork control information from the table set for a particular image capture apparatus, the piece of the camerawork control information being registered in the table set in association with a particular timing designated in the timing information that corresponds to a current time and a particular position for the particular timing indicated in the position information that corresponds to a current position of the subject;
- and
- controlling the particular image capture apparatus to capture an image of the subject according to the identified piece of the camerawork control information.
