Imaging apparatus, imaging method, imaging system, and program product

摘要

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging unit that generates first image data by an imaging process; a receiving unit that receives view angle change request information to instruct a change in angle of view on which an imaging process is performed, and number-of-pixels information related to the number of pixels of a display unit of an operation terminal; an image cropping unit that sets an area of part of a first image data as a crop area based on the view angle change request information and the number-of-pixels information, and crops a second image data included in the crop area; and a transmitting unit that transmits the second image data to the operation terminal.

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an imaging unit that generates first image data by an imaging process; a receiving unit that receives view angle change information to instruct a change in angle of view on which an imaging process is performed, and number-of-pixels information related to the number of pixels of a display unit of an operation terminal; an image cropping unit that sets an area of part of a first image data as a crop area based on the view angle change information and the number-of-pixels information, and crops a second image data included in the crop area; a transmitting unit that transmits the second image data to the operation terminal, an area number-of-pixels detection unit that detects the number of pixels of the crop area in the first image data; and a view angle control unit that changes the angle of view of the imaging unit based on the number of pixels of the crop area in the first image data, wherein the image cropping unit reduces, when the number of pixels of the crop area is greater than the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information, the number of pixels of the crop area in the first image data to the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information; and the image cropping unit increases, when the number of pixels of the crop area is less than the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information, the number of pixels of the crop area in the first image data to the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information; and the view angle control unit optically widens, when the number of pixels of the crop area is greater than the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information, the angle of view of the imaging unit such that the number of pixels of the crop area becomes the number of pixels based on the view angle change information; and the view angle control unit optically narrows, when the number of pixels of the crop area is less than the number of pixels coinciding with the number-of-pixels information, the angle of view of the imaging unit such that the number of pixels of the crop area becomes the number of pixels based on the view angle change information.
