    摘要: An image capturing apparatus comprises: an image sensor with a plurality of pixels including focus detection pixels that output signals so as to be able to acquire a pair of focus detection signals having parallax based on light fluxes that have passed through mutually different pupil regions of an imaging optical system; a movement control unit that moves incident positions of the light fluxes on the image sensor; and a focus detection unit that performs phase difference focus detection using the pair of focus detection signals. The movement control unit moves the incident positions in a phase difference detection direction a plurality of cycles during an exposure period for acquiring the pair of focus detection signals, and the plurality of cycles of movement includes movement with a first amplitude and movement with a second amplitude different from the first amplitude.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus which detects information about a human, including detecting a first gesture. The first gesture indicates at least one of a direction in which an object is present, a position at which the object is present, and an area in which the object is present. In response to detection of the first gesture, information about the object is acquired and a main subject is determined in accordance with a result of acquisition of the information or in accordance with a result of detection of the information about the human.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a sensor capable of generating a signal pair used in focus detection. The apparatus obtains, based on a defocus amount obtained using the signal pair, a focus distance of a lens unit that is mounted to the apparatus and adjusts a focus distance of the lens unit based on the obtained focus distance. When the lens unit is a multi-scopic lens unit having a plurality of optical systems having different axes, the apparatus obtains the focus distance using an adjustment value obtained based on an axis position that is a position on the sensor through which an axis of the multi-scopic lens unit passes.

    摘要: A method and device for predictive autofocus on an object are provided. The method includes capturing an image of a target object to be tracked by a user of camera of a device, selecting a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to a target point of the captured image of the target object, initializing a target object tracker via input of the selected ROI at i-th frame, where i=1, updating the target object tracker based on data at previous (i−1)th frame for i-th frame, where i>1, determining current camera lens position for the tracked target object at current frame, when the target object is out of the camera focus, determining disparity for the selected ROI at i-th frame from previously collected data defining dependence of distance between the target object and lens surface on the camera lens position, determining delta lens position to focus the camera on the target object as a function of disparity and current lens position or target object position in the frame by a computing unit, calculating predicted target object position and delta lens position for N future frames from coordinates of current ROI and current delta lens position, and providing predicted autofocus in real time.

    摘要: An object is to cause a distribution of defocus amounts in a certain arbitrary region of a captured image to be displayed. A map data generation unit configured to generate defocus map data representing defocus amounts at a plurality of positions in a captured image obtained by an imaging element unit, calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit, and a display control unit configured to generate a defocus map image representing a distribution of defocus amounts of the captured image using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation unit and to perform display control are included.
