Camera Control Apparatus Predictive Boundary Notification for Mikire
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Camera operators face challenges in anticipating when 'mikire' will occur during zoom or pan operations, as existing techniques do not provide adequate notification about the capture of unwanted image capturing instruments or studio set elements.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing control apparatus with a display control unit, boundary setting unit, detection unit, and notification unit that displays a video feed, sets boundaries, detects changes in the capturing range, and provides distinct notifications when the boundary is close to being exceeded.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the operator performs zoom or pan operations to change the angle of view, then the captured image content changes, but the operator cannot know in advance that unwanted elements (mikire) will be captured
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by calculating the predicted angle of view based on zoom lens position and velocity before the operator completes the zoom operation. This allows the system to display an assistance frame indicating where mikire will occur, giving advance warning to the operator before the unwanted elements are actually captured.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary assistance frame that mediates between the operator's zoom operation and the final captured image. This frame acts as a predictive overlay showing the future angle of view and highlighting potential mikire areas, serving as a communication bridge between the camera system and operator.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the operator changes the angle of view during capture, then different image content is obtained, but unwanted elements may appear in the captured image
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the zoom lens position and velocity, calculating the predicted angle of view, and displaying the assistance frame with mikire information in real-time. This feedback loop allows the operator to adjust their operation to avoid capturing unwanted elements while maintaining angle of view flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
By calculating and displaying the predicted angle of view and potential mikire areas before the operator completes the zoom operation, the system enables the operator to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the current angle of view change or adjust it to avoid unwanted elements.

AI summary
An image capturing control apparatus, comprises: at least one processor or circuit configured to perform the operations of following units: a display control unit configured to perform control to display a video that an image capturing unit is capturing on a display unit; a boundary setting unit configured to set a boundary in relation to the video that is displayed on the display unit; a detection unit configured to detect a change of a capturing range in the image capturing unit; and a notification unit configured to, in a state in which the capturing range displayed does not include the outer side of the boundary, and in a case where the boundary is close to the capturing range from the inner side of the boundary, perform a notification by a display.
