Publication number: 20230345129Abstract: A control apparatus controls tracking shooting performed by an image capturing apparatus. The control apparatus detects a subject in an image obtained by the image capturing apparatus; tracks the subject by controlling a capturing direction of the image capturing apparatus based on the detected position of the subject; and performs predetermined processing when a lost state in which a subject is unable to be detected during tracking of the subject occurs. If it is possible to derive the direction of movement of a subject immediately before occurrence of the lost state, with the predetermined degree of reliability or higher, the control apparatus performs processing for determining the capturing direction of the image capturing apparatus after occurrence of the lost state based on the direction of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventor: Kyoko KOBAYASHI
