Abstract

An information processing apparatus ( 2000 ) includes a determination unit ( 2020 ) and a notification unit ( 2040 ). The determination unit ( 2020 ) determines whether a field of view of a second camera is correct, on the basis of a first captured image ( 40 ), a second captured image ( 50 ), and relationship information (information indicating the relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of a first camera and the field of view of the second camera). In a case in which the field of view of the second camera is not correct, the notification unit ( 2040 ) notifies that the field of view of the second camera is not correct. The first camera is provided in a head-mounted display worn by a person. The second camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.

Claims (41)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to:

determine whether a field of view of a second camera worn by a person is correct, on the basis of a first captured image which is generated by a first camera worn by the person, a second captured image generated by the second camera, and relationship information indicating a predetermined relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of the first camera and the field of view of the second camera; and

in a case in which the field of view of the second camera is determined to be incorrect, notify that the field of view of the second camera is incorrect,

wherein the first camera is provided in a head-mounted display worn by the person, and

the second camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the relationship information indicates a relationship in which a predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera is included in the field of view of the second camera,

the processor is further configured to determine whether the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera is included in the field of view of the second camera, on the basis of the first captured image, the second captured image, and the relationship information; and

the processor is further configured to, in a case in which the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera is not included in the field of view of the second camera, determine that the field of view of the second camera is incorrect.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera indicates a range of the field of view of the first camera in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case in which a person is included in the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera, the relationship information indicates a relationship in which a predetermined part of the person is included in the field of view of the second camera,

the processor is further configured to determine whether the person is included in the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera, on the basis of the first captured image and the relationship information,

the processor is further configured to, in a case in which the person is included in the predetermined range of the field of view of the first camera, determine whether the predetermined part of the person is included in the field of view of the second camera, on the basis of the second captured image and the relationship information, and

the processor is further configured to in a case in which the predetermined part of the person is not included in the field of view of the second camera, determine that the field of view of the second camera is incorrect.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

output a guide for correcting the field of view of the second camera in a case in which the field of view of the second camera is determined to be incorrect.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the guide indicates a direction in which the field of view of the second camera is to be oriented.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the guide indicates the second captured image.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the guide is superimposed on the field of view of the first camera and indicates a current field of view of the second camera.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the guide output unit displays the guide on a display device provided in the head-mounted display.

10. A control method that is performed by a computer, comprising:

determining whether a field of view of a second camera worn by a person is correct, on the basis of a first captured image which is generated by a first camera worn by the person, a second captured image generated by the second camera, and relationship information indicating a predetermined relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of the first camera and the field of view of the second camera; and

in a case in which the field of view of the second camera is determined to be incorrect, notifying that the field of view of the second camera is incorrect,

wherein the first camera is provided in a head-mounted display worn by the person, and

the second camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform each step of the control method according to claim 10 .

12. A head-mounted display comprising:

a first camera that captures an image to generate a first captured image; and at least one processor configure to:

determine whether a field of view of a second camera worn by a person that wears the head-mounted display is correct, on the basis of the first captured image, a second captured image generated by the second camera, and relationship information indicating a predetermined relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of the first camera and the field of view of the second camera; and

in a case in which the field of view of the second camera is determined to be incorrect, notify that the field of view of the second camera is incorrect,

wherein the second camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.

13. A body-worn camera that is worn by a person, comprising at least one processor configured to:

determine whether a field of view of the body-worn camera is correct, on the basis of a first captured image which is generated by a camera provided in a head-mounted display worn by the person, a second captured image generated by the body-worn camera, and relationship information indicating a predetermined relationship to be satisfied between a field of view of the camera provided in the head-mounted display and the field of view of the body-worn camera; and

in a case in which the field of view of the body-worn camera is determined to be incorrect, notify that the field of view of the body-worn camera is incorrect,

wherein the body-worn camera is provided in a part other than the head-mounted display.
