Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a position detection unit configured to detect position information of the imaging apparatus, an acquisition unit configured to acquire candidate object information indicating an object which a photographer may desire to capture an image thereof within a search range of position information based on the position information detected by the position detection unit, and a presenting unit configured to present the candidate object information to the photographer.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store object information about objects captured by a plurality of photographers in association with map information as a frequency map;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of images captured with an imaging apparatus and position information indicating a position of the imaging apparatus;
- a recognition unit configured to recognize each object included in the acquired plurality of images;
- a specifying unit configured to specify, based on a recognition result obtained by the recognition unit and the objects captured by a plurality of photographers, an object according to an image capturing trend of a photographer using the imaging apparatus;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine, based on the acquired position information, information about the specified object, and the frequency map, candidate object information to be provided to the imaging apparatus,
- wherein the specifying unit specifies an object captured by a first number of photographers with higher priority than an object by a second number of photographers among the plurality of photographers, the first number being smaller than the second number.
An information processing method used in an information processing apparatus including a storage unit configured to store information about objects captured by a plurality of photographers in association with map information as a frequency map, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images captured with an imaging apparatus and position information indicating a position of the imaging apparatus;
- recognizing each object included in the acquired plurality of images;
- specifying, based on a recognition result and the objects captured by a plurality of photographers, an object according to an image capturing trend of a photographer using the imaging apparatus;
- determining, based on the acquired position information, information about the specified object, and the frequency map, candidate object information to be provided to the imaging apparatus;
- and
- specifying an object captured by a first number of photographers with higher priority than an object captured by a second number of photographers among the plurality of photographers, the first number being smaller than the second number.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute an information processing method used in an information processing apparatus including a storage unit configured to store information about objects captured by a plurality of photographers in association with map information as a frequency map, the information processing method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images captured with an imaging apparatus and position information indicating a position of the imaging apparatus;
- recognizing each object included in the acquired plurality of images;
- specifying, based on a recognition result and the objects captured by a plurality of photographers, an object according to an image capturing trend of a photographer using the imaging apparatus;
- determining, based on the acquired position information, information about the specified object, and the frequency map, candidate object information to be provided to the imaging apparatus;
- and
- specifying an object captured by a first number of photographers with higher priority than an object captured by a second number of photographers among the plurality of photographers, the first number being smaller than the second number.
