New Rumor: Canon working on Animal eyeAF

A new rumor suggests that Canon is busy working in Animal eyeAF, and that there are apparently patents (or patent applications) available for it.

We have confirmation that Canon is also working on animal Face tracking and Eye AF. We already have the patents related to that

As far as I know, this site has fairly low reliability (not to mention they NEVER source their rumors, patents, etc - not even to Nokishita), so take it with a grain of salt.  Of course, it's certainly probable that Canon is looking at matching the Sony AF system, and quickly.  Animal AF would be certainly something I could see Canon implementing for the upcoming 1 series RF mount camera, sometime in 2021.

While we haven't seen any specific animal eyeAF patents, the patents are usually quite obscure for such implementations, that it could very well be that there are eyeAF patents available.  We'll investigate this further over the coming few days.

How to view Japan Patent applications.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way of linking to the patent application (sad!) however, this is the easiest process to view a japan patent or application.

  1. Go to the Japan Patent Office search page.
  2. If it's a patent application (they are usually in the format of Year-Number ie: 2017-011300) then type the patent application number into the second field down from the top where it says publication of patent application. 
  3. Click on search.
  4. Then click on the patent application number link, and there's the patent application!
