Setting apparatus, setting method, and storage medium

Abstract

A setting apparatus which sets a detection region for a detection process of detecting a change of an image within a detection region corresponding to an object of detection inputs a first image in which the object of detection is present and a second image in which the object of detection is not present and determines the detection region from the first image and the second image such that the detection process may be performed on a detection region of a third image.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A setting apparatus which sets a detection region for a detection process of detecting a change of an image within the detection region corresponding to an object to be detected, the apparatus comprising:
 an interface configured to connect an image capture unit from which a first image in which the object to be detected is present and a second image in which the object to be detected is not present are input; and   a processor, operatively coupled to a memory, and configured to display a guide in a captured image captured by the image capture unit for setting the detection region, based on the first image and the second image, wherein the guide is changeable by user operation.   
     
     
         2 . The setting apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor displays the guide as a polygon with a number of vertices not more than a predetermined number. 
     
     
         3 . The setting apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to allow a user to set the displayed guide as the detection region. 
     
     
         4 . The setting apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the detection process detects that the object to be detected has been removed. 
     
     
         5 . A method for determining a region in a setting apparatus which sets a detection region for detecting a change in the detection region of an image caused by a removal of an object which has existed in the detection region, the method comprising:
 inputting a first image in which the object does not exist and a second image in which the object exists, from an image capturing unit; and   displaying a guide in a captured image captured by the image capture unit for setting the detection region based on the first image and the second image, wherein the guide is changeable by user operation.   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the guide is displayed as a polygon with a number of vertices not more than a predetermined number. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 5 , further comprising allowing a user to set the guide as the detection region. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein removal of the object to be detected is detected. 
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program for setting a detection region for detecting a change in the detection region of an image caused by a removal of an object which has existed in the detection region, the computer program comprising:
 inputting a first image does not exist and a second image in which the object exists, from an image capturing unit; and   displaying a guide in a captured image captured by the image capture unit for setting the detection region based on the first image and the second image, wherein the guide is changeable by user operation.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory medium according to  claim 9 , wherein the guide polygon is displayed with a number of vertices not more than a predetermined number. 
     
     
         11 . The medium according to  claim 9 , further comprising allowing a user to set the guide as the detection region. 
     
     
         12 . The medium according to  claim 9 , wherein removal of the object to be detected is detected.
