Abstract
An apparatus configured to control an exposure of a capturing unit includes a determination unit configured to determine an object region from a first image captured by the capturing unit and containing a predetermined object, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a region having a similar luminance value to a luminance value of the determined object region from a region other than the object region, and an adjustment unit configured to adjust the exposure of the capturing unit based on a luminance value of the region acquired by the acquisition unit in a second image captured by the capturing unit.
Claims20
An apparatus configured to control an exposure of a capturing unit, the apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image in which a specific object is included and a second image in which the specific object is not included, the second image being obtained after the first image is obtained;
- a determination unit configured to determine an object region corresponding to the specific object in the first image;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a region having a similar luminance value to a luminance value of the determined object region in the first image;
- and
- an adjustment unit configured to adjust the exposure of the capturing unit based on a luminance value of a region corresponding to the acquired region, in the second image.
A method for controlling an exposure of a capturing unit, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image in which a specific object is included and a second image in which the specific object is not included, the second image being obtained after the first image is obtained;
- determining an object region corresponding to the specific object in the first image;
- acquiring a region having a similar luminance value to a luminance value of the determined object region in the first image;
- and
- adjusting the exposure of the capturing unit based on the luminance value of a region in corresponding to the acquired region, in the second image.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory storing a program for executing a method for controlling an exposure of a capturing unit, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image in which a specific object is included and a second image in which the specific object is not included, the second image being obtained after the first image is obtained;
- determining an object region corresponding to the specific object in the first image;
- acquiring a region having a similar luminance value to a luminance value of the determined object region in the first image;
- and
- adjusting the exposure of the capturing unit based on the luminance value of a region corresponding to the acquired region, in the second image.
