  • Patent number: 11729494
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes one or more processors that function as a first acquisition unit configured to acquire information about an image-capturing environment including a physical relationship between an imaging apparatus and an object plane, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating a condition about image quality of an image to be captured by the imaging apparatus, a decision unit configured to decide an image-capturing parameter with which the object plane is fit in a depth of field in a case where the image-capturing parameter is set in the imaging apparatus, based on the information acquired by the first acquisition unit, and a presentation unit configured to present to a user a range on the object plane in which an image obtained by image capturing with the image capturing apparatus in which the decided image-capturing parameter is set satisfies the condition about image quality.

  • Publication number: 20220180631
    Abstract: There is provided with an information processing system including a server apparatus, and a first apparatus and a second apparatus that are able to communicate with the server apparatus. A management unit collects, based on a predetermined reference, each piece of data that is acquired from the first apparatus and is associated with each of a plurality of images and manage the collected data. An image identification unit identifies at least a portion of the plurality of images based on the collected data. A sending unit sends the at least a portion of the plurality of images that is identified by the image identification unit, to the second apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11195255
    Abstract: In order to efficiently provide an image suitable for detecting a defect in a structure, an image processing apparatus inputs an image and a parameter for geometrically correcting the image, calculates a resolution of a corrected image obtained in a case of geometrically correcting the image using the parameter, and displays resolution information relating to the calculated resolution in association with the image.
