Image processing apparatus, moving image reproducing apparatus, and processing method and program therefor

摘要

To easily understand the contents of a moving image taken by an image taking apparatus. An image conversion block 150 converts a taken image on the basis of conversion information. A transparency conversion block 160 converts the transparency in the converted taken image. A image synthesis block 170 synthesizes the taken image with the transparency converted with a log image and holds a resultant new log image in an image memory 180. An index image extraction block 190 extracts a new index image from among the converted taken images on the basis of the coordinate position and size of an index image in an image taking space. A selection block 270 selects an index image on the basis of the position of a selected representative image when the position of a panorama image displayed on a display block 292 is selected. A display control block 291 displays a panorama image on the display block 292 and displays the selected index image, overlapped on the panorama image.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
moving image storage means for storing a first taken moving image taken by an image taking apparatus; conversion information storage means for storing conversion information for converting a second taken moving image with reference to at least said first taken moving image, said second taken moving image taken by the image taking apparatus; image holding means for holding a first log image; image conversion means for converting said first taken moving image related with said conversion information on the basis of said conversion information to produce a converted taken moving image; image synthesis means for synthesizing said converted taken moving image with said first log image to store a second log image that is a resultant new log image in said image holding means, the first log image being a prior image synthesized by the image synthesis means; index image extraction means for extracting a new index image on the basis of said converted taken moving image and a coordinate position and a size of a previously extracted index image; display control means for displaying said second log image as a representative image indicative of said first taken moving image; operation acceptance means for accepting a selection operation for selecting a position on said representative image; and selection means for selecting said extracted new index image on the basis of said selected position on said representative image; wherein said display control means displays said selected index image along with said representative image.
