Abstract
An imaging control apparatus detects a gesture of a person in an image and motion information of the gesture. The imaging control apparatus firstly determines whether the detected gesture is a gesture requiring an angle-of-view change. In a case where the detected gesture is the gesture requiring an angle-of-view change, the imaging control apparatus secondly determines whether a time elapsed since the last time a gesture requiring an angle-of-view change is made is within a predetermined time. The imaging control apparatus generates a pan operation command to change an angle of view based on the second determination result.
Claims16
An imaging control apparatus comprising a computer executing instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to:
- receive an image from an imaging unit;
- detect a gesture of a person in the image;
- perform first determination processing for determining whether the gesture is a predetermined gesture;
- perform, in a case where the gesture is determined at a first time point to be the predetermined gesture in the first determination processing, second determination processing for determining whether a time elapsed since a second time point at which it is previously determined in the first determination processing that the detected gesture is the predetermined gesture is within a predetermined time;
- and
- change an angle of view of the imaging unit based on a result of the determination in the second determination process.
An imaging control method comprising:
- receiving an image from an imaging unit;
- detecting a gesture of a person in the image;
- performing first determination processing for determining whether the detected gesture is a predetermined gesture;
- in a case where the gesture is determined at a first time point to be the predetermined gesture in the first determination processing, secondly determining whether a time elapsed since a second time point at which it is previously determined in the first determination processing that the detected gesture is the predetermined gesture is within a predetermined time;
- and
- changing an angle of view of the imaging unit based on a result of the secondly determining.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores instructions that can be read by a computer, the instructions, when executed, causing the computer to perform an imaging control method comprising:
- receiving an image from an imaging unit;
- detecting a gesture of a person in the image;
- performing first determination processing for determining whether the detected gesture is a predetermined gesture;
- in a case where the gesture is determined at a first time point to be the predetermined gesture in the first determination processing, secondly determining whether a time elapsed since a second time point at which it is previously determined in the first determination processing that the detected gesture is the predetermined gesture is within a predetermined time;
- and
- changing an angle of view of the imaging unit based on a result of the secondly determining.
