This disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method and a program with which it is possible for a reliable masking process to be carried out in a straightforward manner. The information processing device is provided with: a face-detecting unit which detects the face of a person shown in a moving image; an automatic masking unit which, if the face-detecting unit has successfully detected the face of the person, carries out a masking process to mask the face of the person; a predictive masking unit which carries out a masking process to mask a face-predicted region in which it is predicted that the face of a person is shown in the moving image; and an assessing unit which performs an assessment relating to the delivery of the moving image, on the basis of face-detection results obtained by the face-detecting unit detecting the face of the person. Then, if the face-detecting unit has failed to detect the face of the person, the assessing unit assesses that the moving image which has been subjected to the masking process using the predictive masking unit is to be delivered, and the face-predicted region is obtained on the basis of the face-detection results from a certain time period in the past. This technology can be applied to a delivery system which delivers moving images in real-time, for example. |
