20090251539 | MONITORING DEVICE - A monitoring device that is capable of setting both of the tour monitoring time and the unmoving object monitoring time without restriction. A tour monitoring unit causes an image pickup unit to perform a tour monitoring. An unmoving object monitoring unit performs an unmoving object detection process and an unmoving object determination process at positions subjected to the tour monitoring. A control unit performs a control such that the tour monitoring is performed at a position different from the position where the unmoving object detection process is performed after the unmoving object detection process is performed and the unmoving object determination process is performed after the tour monitoring is performed at the different position. | 10-08-2009 |
20110317037 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS - An image pickup apparatus controls a first mode for controlling a function to change an image pickup range of an image pickup unit in response to a received change request of the image pickup range to obtain image data of the changed image pickup range from the image pickup unit and a second mode for controlling an image process of a trimming and a magnification to the image data without performing the change of the image pickup range of the image pickup unit in response to the received change request of the image pickup range to generate image data of the image pickup range corresponding to the change request. The apparatus controls the change of the image pickup range of the image data in response to the change request of the image pickup range to select the first mode when an object detection process is not executed and select the second mode when the object detection process is executed. | 12-29-2011 |
20120147214 | IMAGING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - An imaging apparatus for capturing images, and arranging a plurality of captured images in a plurality of pages of an electronic document receives instructions for starting and cancelling a predetermined grouping status in response to operations of a user, stores and associates the captured images acquired in the predetermined status with the image frames in the same page among the plurality of pages, and stores the data. | 06-14-2012 |
20120200738 | IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - An image capturing apparatus comprises an imaging unit which performs an imaging process of an object image; an image storage unit which stores the image data linked with album data; a layout storage unit which stores layout information representing a position where the image data linked with the album data is displayed on a page of the album data; an album display unit which displays an image frame at the position on the page of the album data represented by the layout information; and a designation unit which receives a designation of an arbitrary position on the displayed page, wherein when a region outside the image frame is designated, the album display unit displays the captured image data on a background of the page as a live view, and the image storage unit stores the image data linked as the background of the page of the album data. | 08-09-2012 |
20130120598 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING CAPTURED IMAGES TO A TERMINAL VIA A NETWORK - An image pickup apparatus includes image pickup means; holding means for holding a coordinate system used to represent an image capturing direction or a region in an image capturing range of the image pickup means; reception means for receiving a first command for rotating a captured image obtained by the image pickup means or a captured image cut out from the region in the image capturing range by a certain angle, a second command for rotating the coordinate system held in the holding means about the origin by the certain angle, and specification information for specifying the image capturing direction in the coordinate system; and change control means for executing control to change the image capturing direction of the image pickup means to the image capturing direction specified by the specification information. | 05-16-2013 |
20130120606 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING CAPTURED IMAGES TO A TERMINAL VIA A NETWORK - An image pickup apparatus according to the present invention includes image pickup means; holding means for holding a coordinate system used to represent an image capturing direction of the image pickup means or a region in an image capturing range of the image pickup means; reception means for receiving a first command for rotating a captured image obtained by the image pickup means or a captured image cut out from the region in the image capturing range by a certain angle, a second command for rotating the coordinate system held in the holding means about the origin by the certain angle, and specification information for specifying the image capturing direction in the coordinate system; and change control means for executing control to change the image capturing direction of the image pickup means to the image capturing direction specified by the specification information. | 05-16-2013 |
20140049655 | IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image pickup apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a designation of an image pickup direction of an image pickup unit in relation to superimposition of a mask image on an picked-up image; and a setting unit configured to set, when the receiving unit receives the designation of the image pickup direction, a position of superimposition of the mask image in an image pickup range where the image pickup unit can pick up images, on the basis of the designated image pickup direction. | 02-20-2014 |
20140118545 | IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS, METHOD FOR SETTING MASK IMAGE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A transmission apparatus that transmits an image to be distributed to a reception apparatus includes a holding unit configured to hold a plurality of settings that include resolution of a captured image and that are used for generating the image to be distributed, a reception unit configured to receive, from the reception apparatus, specification information for specifying one of the plurality of held settings in relation to superimposition of the mask image and superimposition information indicating a position at which the mask image is superimposed upon the image to be distributed generated in accordance with the one of the settings specified by the specification information, and a setting unit configured to set a position at which the mask image is superimposed upon the captured image on the basis of the specified one of the settings and the superimposition information received by the reception unit. | 05-01-2014 |
20140267795 | TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, RECEPTION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A transmission apparatus configured to transmit image data to a reception apparatus through a network, in which a setting value for generating captured data and a setting value for generating image data by an encoding unit are updated according to reception of a command that sets the setting value for generating the captured data by the image capturing unit. When the setting value for generating the captured data is updated according to the received command, notification is performed through the network regardless of a restart process is performed. | 09-18-2014 |
20140376875 | IMAGING APPARATUS - There has been a problem that continuous recording of monitoring data may be impeded by inconsistency in setting values, occurring due to changes in settings of an imaging unit or compression encoding unit performed while recording. | 12-25-2014 |
