Imaging support device, imaging support system, imaging system, imaging support method, and program

An imaging support device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that is incorporated in or connected to the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• by operating a revolution mechanism that causes an imaging apparatus including a variable magnification mechanism and a shake correction component which corrects a shake occurring due to an exerted vibration to revolve, detect a subject image position of a target subject image showing a target subject in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region including the target subject by the imaging apparatus, and
• perform a registration control of setting the detected subject image position to a specific position in the captured image by operating at least one of the shake correction component or the revolution mechanism in accordance with an offset amount of the detected subject image position with respect to the specific position, for the captured image obtained by imaging performed by the imaging apparatus in accordance with changing of magnification to a telephoto side by the variable magnification mechanism,
• wherein variations in revolution angle of the revolution mechanism at a stoppage position in a case where the revolution of the imaging apparatus performed by the revolution mechanism is stopped are less than half of an angle of view of an imaging range.

An imaging support method comprising:

• detecting, by operating a revolution mechanism that causes an imaging apparatus including a variable magnification mechanism to revolve, a subject image position of a target subject image showing a target subject in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region including the target subject by the imaging apparatus;
• and
• performing a registration control of setting the detected subject image position to a specific position in the captured image, for the captured image obtained by imaging performed by the imaging apparatus in accordance with changing of magnification to a telephoto side by the variable magnification mechanism,
• wherein variations in revolution angle of the revolution mechanism at a stoppage position in a case where the revolution of the imaging apparatus performed by the revolution mechanism is stopped are less than half of an angle of view of an imaging range.

A non-transitory recording medium recording a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

• detecting, by operating a revolution mechanism that causes an imaging apparatus including a variable magnification mechanism to revolve, a subject image position of a target subject image showing a target subject in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region including the target subject by the imaging apparatus;
• and
• performing a registration control of setting the detected subject image position to a specific position in the captured image, for the captured image obtained by imaging performed by the imaging apparatus in accordance with changing of magnification to a telephoto side by the variable magnification mechanism,
• wherein variations in revolution angle of the revolution mechanism at a stoppage position in a case where the revolution of the imaging apparatus performed by the revolution mechanism is stopped are less than half of an angle of view of an imaging range.
