Moving image pickup apparatus, method for observing moving image, moving image observing program, and computer-readable recording medium

摘要

A moving image is divided with imaging timing aligned without using a synchronous input. A moving image pickup apparatus to pick up a moving image of one or more objects as an imaging target includes an image obtaining unit for obtaining an input moving image composed of a plurality of frames containing a scene of the object making a periodic motion, a representative image selecting unit for selecting a representative image representing a cycle, a standard timing selecting unit for selecting a standard timing based on the representative image, in order to divide the input moving image obtained by the image obtaining unit with respect to each cycle, and a cycle extracting unit for dividing the input moving image with respect to each cycle, based on the standard timing selected by the standard timing selecting unit.

1. A moving image pickup apparatus to pick up a moving image of one or more objects as an imaging target, comprising:
a high-speed camera configured to obtain an input moving image composed of a plurality of frames, the input moving image including a cyclic scene of the one or more object(s); a processor configured to calculate a characteristic amount of each frame or each frame group from the input moving image obtained by the high-speed camera, to automatically select an image from each frame or each frame group of the input moving image obtained by the high-speed camera on the basis of the characteristic amount as a representative image representing a cycle, to select a standard timing based on the representative image in order to divide the input moving image into each cycle, and to divide the input moving image into each cycle on the basis of the standard timing, wherein the processor is configured further to adjust a position of the cycle backward and forward prior to the input moving image being divided into each cycle; and a display configured to display the input moving image divided into each cycle on the basis of the standard timing.
