Abstract

An information processing apparatus 14 includes a reception unit 22 that receives information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device, an extraction unit 28 that extract a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified by the information received by the reception unit 22 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance, a generation unit 30 that generates the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of image data extracted by the extraction unit 28 , and a transmission unit 32 that transmits the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit 30 to the imaging device.

Claims (37)

1. An information processing apparatus that generates an imaging condition of bracket imaging that continuously performs imaging multiple times while step-wisely changing an imaging condition, the apparatus comprising:

a reception unit that receives information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device;

an extraction unit that extracts a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified by the information received by the reception unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance;

a generation unit that generates the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of image data extracted by the extraction unit; and

a transmission unit that transmits the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit to the imaging device.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the extraction unit extracts the plurality of image data from the first image data group in a case where the number of image data of which the degree of similarity with the subject is equal to or greater than a first predetermined value in the first image data group is equal to or greater than a second predetermined value, and extracts the plurality of image data from the first image data group and the second image data group in a case where the number of image data of which the degree of similarity with the subject is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value in the first image data group is less than the second predetermined value.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information based on the captured image includes an imaging date of the captured image, and

the extraction unit extracts a plurality of image data which includes a subject matching the subject specified from the information received by the reception unit and is captured at a date identical to the imaging date from the first image data group and/or the second image data group.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the information based on the captured image includes an imaging date of the captured image, and

the extraction unit extracts a plurality of image data which includes a subject matching the subject specified from the information received by the reception unit and is captured at a date identical to the imaging date from the first image data group and/or the second image data group.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the transmission unit further transmits, as an imaging condition prohibited from being selected in a case where the bracket imaging is performed by the imaging device, an imaging condition out of a range of the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit to the imaging device.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the transmission unit further transmits, as an imaging condition prohibited from being selected in a case where the bracket imaging is performed by the imaging device, an imaging condition out of a range of the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit to the imaging device.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the transmission unit further transmits, as an imaging condition prohibited from being selected in a case where the bracket imaging is performed by the imaging device, an imaging condition out of a range of the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit to the imaging device.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the transmission unit further transmits, as an imaging condition prohibited from being selected in a case where the bracket imaging is performed by the imaging device, an imaging condition out of a range of the imaging condition of the bracket imaging generated by the generation unit to the imaging device.

9. An information processing method of generating an imaging condition of bracket imaging that continuously performs imaging multiple times while step-wisely changing an imaging condition by using information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

receiving information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device;

extracting a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified from the received information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance;

generating the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of extracted image data; and

transmitting the generated imaging condition of the bracket imaging to the imaging device.

10. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to execute a process of generating an imaging condition of bracket imaging that continuously performs imaging multiple times while step-wisely changing an imaging condition, the processes comprising:

receiving information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device;

extracting a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified from the received information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance;

generating the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of extracted image data; and

transmitting the generated imaging condition of the bracket imaging to the imaging device.

11. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor executing a process of generating an imaging condition of bracket imaging that continuously performs imaging multiple times while step-wisely changing an imaging condition,

the processor configured to

receive information based on a captured image obtained by an imaging device;

extract a plurality of image data of which a degree of similarity with a subject specified from the received information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value from a first image data group obtained by the bracket imaging and/or a second image data group obtained by non-bracket imaging which are accumulated in advance;

generate the imaging condition of the bracket imaging by using the plurality of extracted image data; and

transmit the generated imaging condition of the bracket imaging to the imaging device.
