Photographing apparatus, and method for photographing moving object with the same
A photographing apparatus includes: an image pickup section picking up an image of an object to acquire image data; a part judgment section judging a particular part of the object in the image shown based on the image data; a change-in-part judgment section judging change over time of the part of the object judged by the part judgment section; and a control section changing a photographing condition in accordance with a result of the judgment by the change-in-part judgment section, wherein the part judgment section judges a first part of the object in the image and a second part presumed from the first part; and the change-in-part judgment section judges change over time of the second part.
1. A photographing apparatus comprising:
an image pickup section picking up an image of an object to acquire image data;
a part judgment section judging a particular part of the object in the image shown based on the image data;
a change-in-part judgment section judging change over time of the part of the object judged by the part judgment section; and
a control section changing a photographing condition in accordance with a result of the judgment by the change-in-part judgment section, wherein
the part judgment section judges a first part of the object in the image and a second part presumed from the first part; and
the change-in-part judgment section judges change over time of the second part, by detecting that the object moves from a first behavior to a second behavior, and by predicting that the object will transit from the second behavior to a third behavior.
2. The photographing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the second part judged by the part judgment section is a lower back/hip or legs.
3. The photographing apparatus, according to claim 2 , wherein
the change over time of the second part is a change of bending the legs and lowering down the lower back.
4. The photographing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the control section comprises a reading section reading an image signal from the image pickup section; and
the reading section changes a frame rate for the third behavior.
5. The photographing apparatus, according to claim 1 , further comprising
a database section that includes shapes of animals and characteristics of motions,
wherein the part judgment section judges a fact of the object as the first part with reference to the database section.
6. The photographing apparatus, according to claim 5 , wherein
the part judgment section judges the second part with reference to the database section in accordance with a result of sideways face judgment of the face.
7. The photographing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the change-in-part judgment section judges change over time of the first part and the change over time of the second part.
8. The photographing apparatus, according to claim 7 , wherein change over time of the first part is a change corresponding to a change of a vertebra of the object.
9. The photographing apparatus, according to claim 1 , wherein the third behavior is a jumping-up motion.
10. A method for photographing a moving object, comprising:
a step of generating image data by an image pickup section;
a first part judgment step of judging a first part of an object in an image based on the image data;
a second part judgment step of presuming and judging a second part of the object in the image based on the image data, from the first part;
a change-in-part judgment step of judging change over time of the second part, by detecting that the object moves from a first behavior to a second behavior, and by predicting that the object will transit from the second behavior to a third behavior;
a step of changing setting of a photographing condition in accordance with a result of the judgment of the change over time of the second part; and
a step of recording the acquired image data.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the method for photographing the moving object according to claim 10 .
