Control apparatus, control system, and control program

Abstract

A control apparatus that access first cameras capturing a first subject of a first area, and second cameras capturing a second subject of a second area, detects a viewing direction of a spectator group in the first subject on the basis of image data of the first subject captured by any one of first cameras, identifies a focus area in the second area that is focused on by the spectator group on the basis of the viewing direction of the spectator group, identifies a focus subject, focused on by the spectator group, that is present in the focus area on the basis of image data of the second subject captured by each of the second cameras, determines a specific second camera to be a transmission source of image data from among the second cameras on the basis of the focus subject, and transmits image data from the specific second camera.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control apparatus configured to be accessible a plurality of first cameras that capture a first subject of a first area in a facility, and a plurality of second cameras that capture a second subject of a second area in the facility, the control apparatus comprising:
 a detection unit configured to detect a viewing direction of a spectator group in the first subject on the basis of image data of the first subject captured by any one of the plurality of first cameras;   an identification unit configured to identify a focus area in the second area that is focused on by the spectator group on the basis of the viewing direction of the spectator group detected by the detection unit, and identify a focus subject, focused on by the spectator group, that is present in the focus area on the basis of image data of the second subject captured by each of the plurality of second cameras;   a determination unit configured to determine a specific second camera to be a transmission source of image data from among the plurality of second cameras on the basis of the focus subject identified by the identification unit; and   a transmission unit configured to transmit image data from the specific second camera determined by the determination unit.
