A storage unit(350) stores one or more regions of interest determined by the interest region determining unit(330). An interest region combining unit(370) reads a main region of interest and a sub-region of interest selected from one or more regions of interest, which have been determined by the interest region determining unit(330), from the storage unit(350), combines them, and provides a frame image edited according to the combination result to an output device.
