Abstract
An electronic device that is improved in object detection performance exhibited when executing a specific function. A system controller detects one or more objects from image data, evaluates feature values of the one or more detected objects, and identifies an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation. The specific function is executed in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect one or more objects from image data;
- an evaluation unit configured to evaluate feature values of the one or more detected objects;
- an identification unit configured to identify an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform control for executing the specific function in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.
An image capturing apparatus including:
- an image capturing section;
- and
- an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect one or more objects from image data;
- an evaluation unit configured to evaluate feature values of the one or more detected objects;
- an identification unit configured to identify an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform control for executing the specific function in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.
A method of controlling an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting one or more objects from image data;
- evaluating feature values of the one or more detected objects;
- identifying an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation;
- and
- performing control for executing the specific function in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting one or more objects from image data;
- evaluating feature values of the one or more detected objects;
- identifying an object out of the one or more objects, that satisfies a predetermined criterion related to execution of a specific function, based on a result of the evaluation;
- and
- performing control for executing the specific function in a case where it is determined that the identified object satisfies an execution condition of the specific function.
