Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. Different users of an online system may authorize client devices to exchange information captured by their respective image capture devices. Additionally, a client device modifies captured video data based on users identified in the video data. For example, the client device changes parameters of the image capture device to more prominently display a user identified in the video data and may further change parameters of the image capture device based on gestures or movement of the user identified in the video data. The client device may apply multiple models to captured video data to modify the captured video data or subsequent capturing of video data by the image capture device.

An image-capturing apparatus according to the present invention includes: an image sensor; a gaze detecting sensor configured to detect a gaze of a user; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an object-detecting unit configured to detect an object from an image captured by the image sensor; and a control unit configured to, if the object-detecting unit detects an object of a specific type in a case where a state of the gaze detecting sensor is a first state for detecting the gaze, change the state of the gaze detecting sensor to a second state in which an electric power consumption of the gaze detecting sensor is less than in the first state.

An imaging device includes an image sensor configured to capture a subject image at a predetermined frame rate and generate imaging data for each frame; and a controller configured to control a display to display a captured image corresponding to the imaging data for each frame, wherein first follow-up information can be displayed on the captured image in the display with a frame delay to indicate a result of a first follow-up operation of following a subject on the captured image, and the controller generates second follow-up information that is displayed in a delay period shorter than the frame delay of the first follow-up information to indicate a result of a second follow-up operation different from the first follow-up operation.

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for dynamic field of view selection in video. An apparatus includes a processor and memory that stores code executable by the processor to capture a 360-degree video using a 360-degree camera system, detect a direction that a user is looking within the 360-degree video captured using the 360-degree camera system, and set a field of view for the 360-degree video based on the detected direction that the user is looking.

An image pickup control device, comprising: a first obtainment unit configured to obtain a picked-up image picked up by an image pickup unit; a display control unit configured to display the picked-up image on a display; a detection unit configured to detect a viewpoint region which is a region viewed by a user in the display; a second obtainment unit configured to obtain a feature amount relating to the picked-up image; and a control unit configured to switch between a first mode, in which a focus of the image pickup unit is controlled such that a subject displayed on the viewpoint region is focused, and a second mode, in which control is executed such that the focus is not changed, on a basis of the viewpoint region and the feature amount.

A method of generating one or more new digital images using an original digitally-acquired image including a selected image feature includes identifying within a digital image acquisition device one or more groups of pixels that correspond to the selected image feature based on information from one or more preview images. A portion of the original image is selected that includes the one or more groups of pixels. The technique includes automatically generating values of pixels of one or more new images based on the selected portion in a manner which includes the selected image feature within the one or more new images.

An image capturing apparatus capable of performing highly-accurate focus detection at a high frame rate with minimal time lag is provided with a focus position detection unit configured to calculate a focus position by using an image via an image capturing optical system, an aberration information acquisition unit configured to acquire aberration information of the image capturing optical system, a color information acquisition unit configured to acquire color information of a subject in a focus detection region, a first correction value calculation unit configured to calculate a first correction value for correcting the focus position based on the aberration information, a second correction value calculation unit configured to calculate a second correction value for correcting the focus position based on the first correction value and the color information, and a correction unit configured to correct the focus position by using the second correction value.

Embodiments are directed to an electronic device including a camera module capturing a video, a memory, and a processor sequentially storing, in the memory, each of a plurality of frames respectively focused during the video capture on a plurality of frame areas selected from the video.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one processor configured to obtain a plurality of first images as per a first frame rate using the camera based on a signal related to image recording and control the camera to perform focusing of a lens included in the camera on at least one of one or more objects in the plurality of first images while obtaining the plurality of first images, provide a first portion of the plurality of first images as a preview through the display, control the camera to lock the focusing on the at least one object, identify a designated event for slow motion recording while obtaining the plurality of first images, based at least in part on the designated event, obtain a plurality of second images as per a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate using the camera focusing-locked on the at least one object, and provide a video related to the at least one object using a second portion of the plurality of first images and at least one of the plurality of second images.

A mobile terminal in which an imaging unit is provided on a front surface side and a display unit and a sensor are provided on a back surface side includes a signal processing unit which, from a signal output by the imaging unit, generates information to be displayed by the display unit, and a control unit into which a signal from the sensor is input and which controls the signal processing unit. A display state of the display unit based on the control performed by the control unit includes a first display state for display in a first display region if no detection signal is being input from the sensor, and a second display state for display in a second display region if a detection signal is being input from the sensor.
