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.

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 that extracts imaging information of a captured image, a composition information calculating unit 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 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 image generating device has a camerawork information extracting unit (315) 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 (317) 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. With this configuration, the new image generated from the captured image becomes a favorable image that is easy to see for a viewer, without requiring skilled imaging techniques during capturing.
