Abstract

A compound eye photographing apparatus including a plurality of photographing units for photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject, a subject detection unit for detecting a predetermined subject from the plurality of images, and a determination unit for determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the plurality of images corresponds to each other by matching areas including the detected predetermined subject between the plurality of images and outputting the determination result.

Claims

1. A compound eye photographing apparatus comprising:

a plurality of photographing units for photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

a subject detection unit for detecting a predetermined subject from the plurality of images; and

a determination unit for determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the plurality of images corresponds to each other by matching areas including the detected predetermined subject between the plurality of images and outputting the determination result.

2. A compound eye photographing apparatus comprising:

a plurality of photographing units for photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

a subject detection unit for detecting a predetermined subject from a first image of the plurality of images; and

a determination unit for determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the first image is included in a second image by matching an area including the predetermined subject detected from the first image with the second image and outputting the determination result.

3. A compound eye photographing apparatus control method, comprising the steps of:

photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

detecting a predetermined subject from the plurality of images; and

determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the plurality of images corresponds to each other by matching areas including the detected predetermined subject between the plurality of images and outputting the determination result.

4. A compound eye photographing apparatus control method, comprising the steps of:

photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

detecting a predetermined subject from a first image of the plurality of images; and

determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the first image is included in a second image by matching an area including the predetermined subject detected from the first image with the second image and outputting the determination result.

5. A computer readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a computer to perform a compound eye photographing apparatus control method, the method comprising the steps of:

photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

detecting a predetermined subject from the plurality of images; and

determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the plurality of images corresponds to each other by matching areas including the detected predetermined subject between the plurality of images and outputting the determination result.

6. A computer readable recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a computer to perform a compound eye photographing apparatus control method, the method comprising the steps of:

photographing a subject at a plurality of photographing positions to obtain a plurality of images of the subject;

detecting a predetermined subject from a first image of the plurality of images; and

determining whether or not the predetermined subject detected from the first image is included in a second image by matching an area including the predetermined subject detected from the first image with the second image and outputting the determination result.
