Abstract
An object detecting apparatus includes a detecting unit configured to detect an area of a predetermined object from an image, a calculating unit configured to calculate an evaluation value on the area detected by the detecting unit, and a control unit configured, when the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined criterion, to determine that the area is the predetermined object. The predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of an image displayed on a display unit.
Claims27
An object detecting apparatus comprising:
- a detecting unit configured to detect an area of a predetermined object from an image;
- a calculating unit configured to calculate an evaluation value on the area detected by the detecting unit;
- and
- a control unit configured, when the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined criterion, to determine that the area is the predetermined object,
- wherein the predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of an image displayed on a display unit.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a detecting unit configured to detect an area of a predetermined object from an image;
- a calculating unit configured to calculate an evaluation value on the area detected by the detecting unit;
- a control unit configured, when the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined criterion, to determine that the area is the predetermined object, wherein the predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of an image displayed on a display unit;
- an image capturing unit configured to photoelectrically convert an object image passed through an imaging optical system to generate an image signal;
- and
- an image generating unit configured to generate an image to be displayed on the display unit based on the image signal.
An object detecting apparatus comprising:
- a detecting unit configured to detect an area of a predetermined object from an image;
- a calculating unit configured to calculate an evaluation value on the area detected by the detecting unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to control displaying the image on a display unit,
- wherein the control unit performs control so that, if the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined criterion, an indication of the predetermined object is displayed in an area of the display unit corresponding to the detected area, and
- wherein the predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of the image displayed on the display unit.
A method for controlling an object detecting apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting an area of a predetermined object from an image;
- calculating an evaluation value on the detected area of the predetermined object;
- and
- determining that the area is the predetermined object when the evaluation value satisfies a predetermined criterion,
- wherein the predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of the image displayed on the display unit.
A method for controlling an object detecting apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting an area of a predetermined object from an image;
- calculating an evaluation value on the detected area of the predetermined object;
- and
- controlling displaying the image on a display unit,
- wherein if the evaluation value satisfies the predetermined criterion, an indication of the predetermined object is displayed in an area of the display unit corresponding to the detected area, and
- wherein the predetermined criterion is set depending on an amount of distortion of the image displayed on the display unit.
