Abstract
A control apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a rotation of the first imaging unit in the rotation direction and position information of a designated range designated on a first image imaged by the first imaging unit, a setting unit configured to set the second imaging range so as to include the designated range based on the information on the rotation and the position information, and a control unit configured to control the second imaging unit to instruct the second imaging unit to image the second imaging range and to acquire a second image by changing at least one of the imaging direction and the angle of view of the second imaging unit.
Claims7
A control apparatus for a first imaging unit rotatable in a rotation direction around an optical axis and configured to image a first imaging range, and a second imaging unit configured to change at least one of an imaging direction and an angle of view and to image a second imaging range that is part of the first imaging range, wherein the second imaging unit cannot rotate in the rotation direction, the control apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a rotation of the first imaging unit in the rotation direction and position information of a designated range designated on a first image imaged by the first imaging unit;
- a setting unit configured to set the second imaging range so as to include the designated range based on the information on the rotation and the position information;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the second imaging unit to image the second imaging range by changing at least one of the imaging direction and the angle of view of the second imaging unit and to acquire a second image,
- wherein at least one processor or circuit is configured to perform a function of at least one of the units.
A control method for a first imaging unit rotatable in a rotation direction around an optical axis and configured to image a first imaging range, and a second imaging unit configured to change at least one of an imaging direction and an angle of view and to image a second imaging range that is part of the first imaging range, wherein the second imaging unit cannot rotate in the rotation direction, the control method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring information on a rotation of the first imaging unit in the rotation direction and position information of a designated range designated on a first image imaged by the first imaging unit;
- setting the second imaging range so as to include the designated range based on the information on the rotation and the position information;
- and
- controlling the second imaging unit to image the second imaging range by changing at least one of the imaging direction and the angle of view of the second imaging unit and to acquire a second image.
