  • Publication number: 20230221721
    Abstract: An unmanned autonomous vehicle is provided and includes at least one propulsion device, at least one image capture device, at least one adjusting member to adjust an tilt angle of the image capture device and is configured to receive, from a control device, a capturing instruction to capture at least one image, acquire angle information indicating a tilt angle of the image capture device, and control, in a case where the capturing instruction is received, the propulsion device so that the image capture device captures at least one image at an altitude which is determined based on the acquired angle information.

  • Patent number: 9373050
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus for performing image processing of image data in which information specifying, on a first coordinate system, a position of a portion of interest in an image is recorded, including an image processing unit configured to perform rotation processing of the image data using a second coordinate system having an origin different from that of the first coordinate system, and a change unit configured to change the information specifying the position of the portion of interest in accordance with a rotation amount of the image data by the rotation processing such that an image of the portion of interest specified by the information specifying the position of the portion of interest after the rotation processing matches that before the rotation processing.

  • Publication number: 20160014397
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus capable of obtaining a plurality of parallax images and a captured image obtained by performing additive compositing on the parallax images, the image capturing apparatus comprising: a setting unit configured to set a first aperture value; an image capturing unit configured to obtain a plurality of parallax images by means of imaging using a second aperture value smaller than the first aperture value; a first generation unit configured to generate a captured image by performing additive compositing on the parallax images; and a second generation unit configured to generate an image having a depth of field equivalent to that in a case of using the first aperture value, by means of refocus processing using the captured image generated by the first generation unit and the plurality of parallax images.
