US 2023/0276131 A1 · IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD

Abstract

An image capture apparatus that is remotely controllable by an operation apparatus, and comprises an image capturing unit, a communication unit, an image processing unit that detects an object in a captured image, and a control unit that performs framing control based on a framing operation of the operation apparatus. The image processing unit calculates a framing control amount based on a delay time in communication processing with the operation apparatus, a predicted movement amount of the object in the delay time, an actual movement amount of the object before and after the delay time, and a framing operation amount received from the operation apparatus, and the control unit performs the framing control based on the framing control amount.

Dependent claims

An image capture apparatus that is remotely controllable by an operation apparatus, comprising:

an image capturing unit that captures an image;
a communication unit that communicates with the operation apparatus;
an image processing unit that detects an object in the image;
and
a control unit that performs framing control of the image including the object based on a framing operation received from the operation apparatus after transmitting the image to the operation apparatus by the communication unit, wherein
the image processing unit calculates a framing control amount based on a delay time in communication processing with the operation apparatus, a predicted movement amount of the object in the delay time, an actual movement amount of the object before and after the delay time, and a framing operation amount received from the operation apparatus, and
the control unit performs the framing control based on the framing control amount.

A method of controlling an image capture apparatus that includes an image capturing unit that captures an image and is remotely controllable by an operation apparatus, the method comprising:

communicating with the operation apparatus;
detecting an object in the image;
and
performing framing control of the image including the object based on a framing operation received from the operation apparatus after transmitting the image to the operation apparatus, wherein
the framing control is performed based on a framing control amount calculated based on a delay time in communication processing with the operation apparatus, a predicted movement amount of the object in the delay time, an actual movement amount of the object before and after the delay time, and a framing operation amount received from the operation apparatus.
