Imaging control device, subject detection method, and program

摘要

An imaging control device for an imaging apparatus or an imaging system having an imaging section which performs imaging of a subject and an imaging field changing section of the imaging section, includes: a determination section which determines whether or not a subject detecting section detects a predetermined target subject by analyzing a captured image signal acquired by the imaging section, in a subject detection processing; and an imaging field change control section which controls the imaging field changing section to change an angle of view in the imaging section, wherein when the determination section determines that the subject detecting section does not detect a target subject in the subject detection processing, the imaging field change control section controls the imaging field changing section to change the angle of view in the imaging section and then the image control device controls the subject detecting section to perform the subject detection processing.

主权项

1. An imaging control device for an imaging apparatus or an imaging system having an imaging section and an imaging field changing section, the imaging section configured to perform imaging of a subject, the imaging control device comprising:
a determination section configured to determine whether or not a subject detecting section detects a target subject by analyzing a captured image signal acquired by the imaging section, in subject detection processing; an imaging field change control section configured:
to control the imaging field changing section to change an angle of view in the imaging section, andin response to the determination section determining that the subject detecting section does not detect a target subject in the subject detection processing, to control the imaging field changing section to change the angle of view in the imaging section, and to control a tilt control section to search for a target subject by tilting the imaging section upward before tilting the imaging section downward, wherein the image control device is configured to control the subject detecting section to perform the subject detection processing subsequent to the imaging field changing section changing the angle of view.
