Abstract: A generator generates attribute information regarding a video image, which is captured by an imaging unit by capturing a plurality of capture directions, on a predetermined unit of video content. A composition map generator extracts a predetermined object, based on the attribute information of the video images captured in the plurality of capture directions within a predetermined period, and generates a composition map indicating a position of the extracted object. A comparator determines priority orders in the respective pieces of shooting of the respective capture directions based on a comparison result obtained by comparing pieces of the attribute information, for each of the capture directions and based on the attribute information included in the composition map. A camera work controller determines a next capture direction based on the priority orders, and controls operations of the imaging unit and a camera pantilter based on the determined capture direction.

Abstract translation: 生成器通过在预定的视频内容单元上捕获多个捕获方向来生成关于由成像单元捕获的视频图像的属性信息。 合成图生成器基于在预定时间段内在多个捕获方向中捕获的视频图像的属性信息来提取预定对象，并且生成指示提取对象的位置的合成图。 比较器基于通过比较各个属性信息而获得的比较结果，根据构成图中包含的属性信息，确定各拍摄方向的各拍摄中的优先顺序。 照相机工作控制器基于优先级顺序确定下一个捕获方向，并且基于所确定的捕获方向来控制成像单元和照相机短裤器的操作。
