Abstract
A display control device including a display control unit that controls display, on a display unit, of highlighting corresponding to a state of an image depending on an in-focus state of a subject in the image being within a predetermined in-focus near range.
Claims19
A display control device, comprising:
- a display control unit configured to:
- detect an in-focus state of a subject in an image based on a magnitude of blur of the image, wherein
- the magnitude of blur is indicated by a focus evaluation value in the image, and
- the in-focus state of the subject is within an in-focus near range;
- set a value of a highlight threshold, wherein the value of the highlight threshold is set based on the focus evaluation value and a value of a high frequency component in the image;
- determine the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold;
- and
- control a display unit to:
- depict a marker on a pixel of the image;
- one of increase a size of a line along a contour of the subject or thicken the line along the contour of the subject based on the depicted marker;
- and
- highlight of the subject in the in-focus state by the one of the increase in the size of the line or the thickened line, wherein the subject is highlighted based on the determination that the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold.

A display control method, comprising:
- in a display control device:
- detecting an in-focus state of a subject in an image based on a magnitude of blur of the image, wherein
- the magnitude of blur is indicated by a focus evaluation value in the image, and
- the in-focus state of the subject is within an in-focus near range;
- setting a value of a highlight threshold, wherein the value of the highlight threshold is set based on the focus evaluation value and a value of a high frequency component in the image;
- determining the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold;
- and
- controlling a display unit to:
- depict a marker on a pixel of the image;
- one of increase a size of a line along a contour of the subject or thicken the line along the contour of the subject based on the depicted marker;
- and
- highlight of the subject in the in-focus state by the one of the increase in the size of the line or the thickened line, wherein the subject is highlighted based on the determination that the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting an in-focus state of a subject in an image based on a magnitude of blur of the image, wherein
- the magnitude of blur is indicated by a focus evaluation value in the image, and
- the in-focus state of the subject is within an in-focus near range;
- setting a value of a highlight threshold, wherein the value of the highlight threshold is set based on the focus evaluation value and a value of a high frequency component in the image;
- determining the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold;
- and
- controlling a display unit to:
- depict a marker on a pixel of the image;
- one of increase a size of a line along a contour of the subject or thicken the line along the contour of the subject based on the depicted marker;
- and
- highlight of the subject in the in-focus state by the one of the increase in the size of the line or the thickened line, wherein the subject is highlighted based on the determination that the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold.

A display control device, comprising:
- a display control unit configured to:
- detect an in-focus state of a subject in an image based on a magnitude of blur of the image, wherein
- the magnitude of blur is indicated by a focus evaluation value in the image, and
- the in-focus state of the subject is within an in-focus near range;
- determine an adjustment factor based on the focus evaluation value;
- set a value of a highlight threshold based on multiplication of a value of a high frequency component in the image with the adjustment factor;
- determine the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold;
- and
- control display, on a display unit, of highlight of the subject in the in-focus state based on the determination that the value of the high frequency component is one of greater than or equal to the value of the highlight threshold.
