Abstract: The present invention enables one to easily set an image capturing condition, and to easily grasp a state of a captured image. For doing so, an instruction of either a zooming-in control or a zooming-out control of the image capturing apparatus, is determined based on a position relation of a first coordinate and a second coordinate instructed with respect to an image from the image capturing apparatus displayed on a display unit. The image capturing apparatus is controlled based on the result of that determination, the first coordinates and the second coordinates.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus can hold a bookmark to be used to access a camera through a network. The information processing apparatus acquires a photographed image photographed by the camera from the camera through the network, and then registers the photographed image acquired from the camera in the bookmark.

Abstract: A processing apparatus capable of generating a panoramic image from a plurality of captured images acquired by a plurality of times of imaging includes an input unit configured to input a superimposition parameter for determining a superimposition position of a predetermined image on the captured image, a generation unit configured to generate the panoramic image from the plurality of the captured images by transformation processing of coordinate values of the plurality of the captured images acquired by the plurality of times of imaging, and a determination unit configured to determine the superimposition position of the predetermined image on the panoramic image according to position information on the panoramic image in which transformation processing of the coordinate values is performed by the generation unit and the superimposition parameter for determining the superimposition position of the predetermined image on the captured image.

Abstract: A display control apparatus includes a control unit of a client configured to specify a privacy mask zone in a panoramic area, display a graphic pattern larger than the specified privacy mask zone over the privacy mask zone, and accept an operation to shift the privacy mask zone corresponding to the displayed graphic pattern.

Abstract: Waiting-for-transmission fragments that cannot be transmitted by a transmission unit due to the interruption of transmission by the transmission unit are stored. In accordance with the waiting-for-transmission fragments, a fragment to be transmitted prior to a first fragment including an intra-coded frame is eliminated from the waiting-for-transmission fragments. The transmission unit is controlled so that the first fragment is transmitted at the resumption of transmission.

Abstract: On the basis of information regarding zones in which a plurality of registrants are assumed to be currently located, characteristic data of registrants who are assumed to be in the zone corresponding to a terminal apparatus that read the characteristic data of a user being authenticated is compared the characteristic data of the user being authenticated.

Abstract: A processing apparatus configured to output an event according to a result of comparison between a size of an object detected within an object detection region of a video image and a threshold value includes a setting unit configured to set the object detection region, a determination unit configured to determine the threshold value based on a size of the set object detection region, and a display control unit configured to cause a detection region figure indicating the object detection region, and a detection size figure with a size corresponding to the determined threshold value to be superimposed on the video image.

Abstract: A camera apparatus which makes it possible to perform additional camera control during automatic tracking operation within a range in which the automatic tracking operation can be performed without any trouble. A tracking method-calculating section detects a tracking target through analysis of a picked-up image and calculates first camera control parameters for tracking the tracking target. A camera control request input section obtains second camera control parameters from a camera control request accepted from outside the camera apparatus. A camera control method-calculating section calculates third camera control parameters from the first camera control parameters and the second camera control parameters. Further, a camera control section performs camera control according to the third camera control parameters.

Abstract: A mobile terminal, which is capable of communicating with a camera server via a network, has a display unit and a plurality of operating units. Operations for acquiring video and for controlling a camera are assigned to respective ones of the plurality of operating units. Depending upon the operation of the plurality of operating units, processing is executed for acquiring video from the camera server or for instructing the camera server to control the camera.

Abstract: An image receiving apparatus is assigned with a field-of-view range setting right which is a right of setting a field-of-view of an image to be distributed. A field-of-view range setting request is received from the image receiving apparatus having the field-of-view range setting right and then reflected upon a cut-out position of an image, and a field-of-view selection request is received from an image receiving apparatus not having the field-of-view range setting right, thereby selecting and an image to be distributed to the image receiving apparatus having the field-of-view range setting right as a distribution image to the image receiving apparatus not having the field-of-view range setting right.
