IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

This technique relates to an image-processing device, method, and program enabling effects to be more easily applied to a moving image. In a portable terminal device, when a moving image is being captured, the sound of the surrounding environment and speech uttered by the user are picked up using different sound pickup units. A keyword detector detects a predefined keyword from the speech uttered by the user, and an effect generator generates an effect image and an effect sound associated with the detected keyword. An effect application unit superimposes the generated effect image onto the captured moving image and synthesizes the generated effect sound with the sound of the environment, and thereby applies an image effect and a sound effect to the moving image. According to the portable terminal device, desired effects can easily be applied to the moving image merely by uttering a keyword while capturing the moving image. This technique can be applied to a mobile telephone handset.
