IMAGE TAKING SYSTEM AND LENS APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image taking system, comprising:
- a lens apparatus;
an image pickup apparatus;
an operation angle detection unit for detecting an operation angle of the lens apparatus;
a direction storage unit for storing a direction of an object with respect to the operation angle of the lens apparatus;
an angle-of-field calculation unit for calculating an image taking angle of field based on a zoom position and a focus position of the lens apparatus;
a ranging area setting unit for calculating a position of at least one object in an image taking screen based on the operation angle detected by the operation angle detection unit, the direction stored in the direction storage unit, and the image taking angle of field calculated by the angle-of-field calculation unit, to thereby set a ranging area at the position of the at least one object;
an object distance calculation unit for calculating an object distance in the ranging area; and
an output image generation unit for generating an output image containing a taken image generated by the image pickup apparatus and information based on the object distance corresponding to the ranging area.

Abstract
An image taking system including: a lens apparatus; an image pickup apparatus; an operation angle detection unit detecting an operation angle; a direction storage unit storing an object direction relative to the lens apparatus; an angle-of-field calculation unit calculating an image taking angle of field based on zoom and focus positions; a ranging area setting unit calculating a position of at least one object in a screen based on the operation angle detected by the operation angle detection unit, the object direction stored in the direction storage unit, and the image taking angle of field calculated by the angle-of-field calculation unit, to set a ranging area at the position of the at least one object; an object distance calculation unit calculating an object distance in the ranging area; and an output image generation unit generating an output image and information based on the object distance.
