Abstract
An imaging device includes an object detection unit configured to detect an object from an image acquired from an imaging unit and a control unit configured to control an automated imaging process of the imaging unit on the basis of a result of detecting the object. The control unit has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length in a range of a prescribed value or more and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
Claims17
A control device for an imaging device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to function as:
- an object detection unit configured to detect an object from an image acquired from an imaging unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an automated imaging process of the imaging unit based on a result of detecting the object,
- wherein the control unit has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length equal to or greater than a prescribed value and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
An imaging device comprising:
- an imaging unit;
- and
- at least one processor configured to function as:
- an object detection unit configured to detect an object from an image acquired from the imaging unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to control an automated imaging process of the imaging unit based on a result of detecting the object,
- wherein the control unit has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length equal to or greater than a prescribed value or more and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
An imaging method comprising:
- detecting an object from an image acquired from the imaging unit;
- and
- controlling an automated imaging process of the imaging unit on the basis of a result of detecting the object,
- wherein the controlling has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length in a range of a prescribed value or more and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store a computer program comprising instructions for executing following processes:
- detecting an object from an image acquired from the imaging unit;
- and
- controlling an automated imaging process of the imaging unit on the basis of a result of detecting the object,
- wherein the controlling has a first automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed using a focal length in a range of a prescribed value or more and a second automated imaging mode in which the automated imaging process is performed by limiting the focal length to less than the prescribed value.
