Image processing apparatus that displays an indicator image for performing predetermined processing on image data, image processing method, and computer readable storage medium

摘要

Problem: To simplify an operation for causing an apparatus to perform desired control.;Solution to Problem: In an image capturing apparatus 1, an image capturing unit 16 continuously captures an image of a subject and sequentially outputs image data. An image analysis unit 53 determines whether or not there is an instruction regarding storage of the image data outputted by the image capturing unit 16. A storage control unit 56 carries out control to store the image data outputted from the image capturing unit 16 in a storage unit 19 upon it being determined that there is an instruction regarding storage. An output control unit 51 carries out control to display, in an output unit 18, a live view image corresponding to the image data sequentially outputted by the image capturing unit 16 along with a first indicator image for processing the stored image data. An image analysis unit 53 determines whether or not a position of the image of the subject in the live view image displayed in the output unit 18 overlaps with a position of the first indicator image, and when it is determined that the images overlap, predetermined processing is carried out on the image data stored in the storage unit 19.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an image capturing unit that continuously captures an image of a subject and sequentially outputs image data; a first determination unit that determines whether or not there is an instruction regarding storage of the image data in a storage unit; a storage control unit that carries out control to store the image data in the storage unit upon the first determination unit determining that there is an instruction regarding storage in the storage unit; a first display control unit that, in response to the instruction regarding storage, carries out control to display, in a display unit, a live view image corresponding to the image data sequentially outputted by the image capturing unit along with a first indicator image for performing predetermined processing on the image data, wherein the first indicator is on the live view image; a second determination unit that determines whether or not a position of the image of the subject in the live view image overlaps with a position of the first indicator image; and a processing unit that carries out the predetermined processing on the image data when the second determination unit has determined that the position of the image of the subject overlaps with the position of the first indicator image.
