Apparatus, method for apparatus, and storage medium

A method for an apparatus, comprising:

• detecting an object from an image;
• obtaining object motion information indicating information about a temporal change of a position of the object detected in the image;
• obtaining image motion information indicating a motion of a capturing apparatus configured to capture the image;
• controlling a stabilization unit using a first mode for giving priority to object tracking to correct the position of the object in the image and a second mode for giving priority to stabilization to correct an image blur due to the motion of the capturing apparatus;
• determining whether to switch from the first mode to the second mode;
• and
• setting a reference position being a control center of the stabilization based on the object motion information in a case where it is determined to switch from the first mode to the second mode,
• wherein the setting obtains a centroid position of a motion of the object based on a temporal change of the motion of the object indicated by the object motion information, and sets the reference position based on the obtained centroid position.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

• detecting an object from an image;
• obtaining object motion information indicating information about a temporal change of a position of the object detected in the image;
• obtaining image motion information indicating a motion of a capturing apparatus configured to capture the image;
• controlling a stabilization unit using a first mode for giving priority to object tracking to correct the position of the object in the image and a second mode for giving priority to stabilization to correct an image blur due to the motion of the capturing apparatus;
• determining whether to switch from the first mode to the second mode;
• and
• setting a reference position being a control center of the stabilization based on the object motion information in a case where it is determined to switch from the first mode to the second mode,
• wherein the setting obtains a centroid position of a motion of the object based on a temporal change of the motion of the object indicated by the object motion information, and sets the reference position based on the obtained centroid position.
