Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute steps included in a control method, the method comprising:
detecting an object from a captured image generated by an image capture apparatus;
determining, based on a range occupied by an image area representing the object in the captured image, a partial range relevant to the object, within an output range of an output apparatus that performs an output having influence on an image capture environment;
determining, based on a feature value of the image area representing the detected object, an output setting of the output apparatus for the partial range; and
applying, to the output apparatus, the output setting for the partial range determined for the object, wherein
the output apparatus is an apparatus that outputs a background,
the partial range determined for the object is a range to be a background of and around the object, within a range of a background output by the output apparatus, and
the output setting determined for the object is a setting of a color of the background output to the partial range determined for the object, and
the control method further comprises:
in the determination of the output setting:
computing, as a feature value of the image area representing the object, a representative point on a color space relating to a color of the image area and a representative value of hue of the image area;
determining a point satisfying a predetermined relation with the representative point on the color space;
determining, based on a color relevant to the determined point, a color of a background of the partial range determined for the object
determining a color far from a computed representative value by a predetermined angle on a hue circle; and
determining, based on the determined color, a color of a background of the partial range determined for the object.
