Abstract
There is provided with a control apparatus of an image processing system. The image processing system has a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints. An obtaining unit obtains a position of the object. A setting unit sets, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
Claims18
A control apparatus of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a position of the object;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
A control apparatus of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that are arranged to surround a field in which an object exists and to capture images of the object from different viewpoints, the control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain a position of the object;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with the position of the object in the field.
An image processing system comprising a plurality of image capturing systems that are connected to each other and configured to capture images of an object from different viewpoints, wherein
- a second image capturing system which is at least one of the plurality of image capturing systems is configured to receive a captured image by a first image capturing system which is one of the plurality of image capturing systems, and to control transmission of a captured image by the second image capturing system and the captured image by the first image capturing system based on a position of the object.
A control method of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control method comprising:
- obtaining a position of the object;
- and
- setting, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, causes the computer to perform a control method of an image processing system which comprises a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that capture images of an object from different viewpoints, the control method comprising:
- obtaining a position of the object;
- and
- setting, for a captured image by an image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses, priority in accordance with similarity between a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to the image capturing apparatus and a viewpoint direction from the position of the object to another image capturing apparatus of the plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
