Abstract:
An image generating device has a camerawork information extracting unit that extracts imaging information of a captured image, a composition information calculating unit that temporarily decides a cut-out frame for cutting out a new image from the imaging information and the captured image based on a constraint condition, and decides a cut-out frame to smooth a change of the new image between frames, from the temporarily decided cut-out frame, each of the frames being a unit of an image, and a composition information shaping unit that cuts out the new image from the captured image by using the cut-out frame, and converts a size of the new image to a predetermined size. The new image generated from the captured image becomes a favorable image that is easy to see for a viewer, and particularly a more smooth and natural image, without any skilled imaging techniques during capturing.
Abstract:
An image generating device has a camerawork information extracting unit (2315) that extracts imaging information of a captured image, a composition information calculating unit (316) that decides a cut-out frame for cutting out a new image from the imaging information and the captured image based on a constraint condition, and a composition information shaping unit (2317) that outputs, as attribute information of the captured image, the imaging information and the cut-out frame. This configuration makes it possible to obtain from a captured image a newly generated image which is a favorable image that is easy to see for a viewer, without requiring skilled imaging techniques during capturing, and to efficiently record and manage the captured image and the newly generated image.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a display, an operation receiver, a storage, and a controller. The operation receiver receives an instruction indicating a switch of a candidate image from a user. The storage stores movie data. The controller controls the display to display a selection screen via which a frame image to be stored as a still image is selected from the movie data. The selection screen includes the candidate image, first marker information, and second maker information. The controller moves a frame position of the candidate image based on the position indicated by the first marker information or the second marker information in a case where the operation receiver receives the instruction.
Abstract:
A video capturing apparatus includes imaging unit, generator, detector, storage unit, assigning unit, and output unit. The generator generates time information for the captured video. The detector detects a predetermined video feature from the captured videos. The storage unit stores the captured videos, the time information, and the video features, with the captured videos being associated with the time information and the video features. The assigning unit assigns tag information to either the video having an evaluated value for the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value or the video having a change amount of the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value. The output unit preferentially outputs a video, of the captured videos, to which the tag information is assigned, when the captured videos are output. This configuration allows the video capturing apparatus capable of playing back a digest of videos.

Abstract:
A generator generates attribute information regarding a video image, which is captured by an imaging unit by capturing a plurality of capture directions, on a predetermined unit of video content. A composition map generator extracts a predetermined object, based on the attribute information of the video images captured in the plurality of capture directions within a predetermined period, and generates a composition map indicating a position of the extracted object. A comparator determines priority orders in the respective pieces of shooting of the respective capture directions based on a comparison result obtained by comparing pieces of the attribute information, for each of the capture directions and based on the attribute information included in the composition map. A camera work controller determines a next capture direction based on the priority orders, and controls operations of the imaging unit and a camera pantilter based on the determined capture direction.
