Claims (8)

An acquisition means for acquiring a captured image in each imaging direction by performing imaging while changing the imaging direction;
Detecting means for detecting a subject from the acquired captured image each time the acquiring means acquires a captured image;
An output unit that combines the captured images acquired by the acquisition unit to generate a panoramic image and combines and outputs information for notifying a subject on the panoramic image on the panoramic image; An imaging apparatus characterized by that.   2. The output unit according to claim 1, wherein the output unit combines and outputs a frame surrounding the subject detected by the detection unit and / or information indicating the type of the subject on the panoramic image. Imaging device.   The detection means obtains the feature quantity of the subject in the obtained captured image each time the obtaining means obtains the captured image, and refers to the database holding the feature quantities of the different types of subjects, and determines the obtained The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the type of subject corresponding to the feature amount is specified.   When the number of subjects on the panoramic image is equal to or greater than a prescribed number, the output means synthesizes and outputs information for notifying the subject selected on the basis of the prescribed standard on the panoramic image. The imaging device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein The output means synthesizes and outputs the information for notifying the subject newly detected by the detection means and the information for notifying the subject other than the subject on the panoramic image so as to be distinguishable. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image pickup apparatus is an image pickup apparatus. The output means captures information for notifying the subject detected by the detection means at a preset position, whether the subject is the same subject as the subject detected in the past or a subject newly detected this time. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image is synthesized and output on the panoramic image in a display form according to whether the subject is the same as the subject detected from the captured image. A method for controlling an imaging apparatus,
An acquisition step in which the acquisition unit of the imaging apparatus acquires an image in each imaging direction by performing imaging while changing the imaging direction;
A detection step of detecting a subject from the acquired captured image each time the detection unit of the imaging device acquires the captured image in the acquisition step;
The output unit of the imaging apparatus generates a panoramic image by connecting the captured images acquired in the acquisition step, and combines information for notifying a subject on the panoramic image on the panoramic image. And an output process for outputting the output. In the output step, information for notifying the subject detected in the detection step is imaged at a preset position whether the subject is the same subject as the subject detected in the past or a subject newly detected this time. 8. The method of controlling an imaging apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the image is synthesized and output on the panoramic image in a display form according to whether the subject is the same as the subject detected from the captured image.
