Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, when a panoramic image is generated from a plurality of still images constituting a moving image, an extremely horizontally or vertically long panoramic image is generated.
In such an extremely horizontally or vertically long panoramic image, there is a problem that it is difficult to confirm the subject that the user pays attention to.

[0093] Figure 16 It is a diagram showing an example in which the cropped panoramic image 160 is also displayed simultaneously when the classification video playback is performed. According to this display method, while the cut-out panoramic image 160 is being displayed on the display unit 19 , the frames 161 to 165 reproduced by category are sequentially displayed. However, in order to distinguish the sorted and reproduced frames from the cropped panoramic image displayed behind, the sorted and reproduced frames are displayed with emphasis.

[0094] exist Figure 16 In the example shown, in order to emphasize the frames 161 to 165 to be sorted and reproduced, the luminance of image regions other than the image region to be sorted and reproduced among the image regions from which the panorama image 160 is cut out is reduced. However, the method of emphasizing frames to be reproduced by classification is not limited to this method. For example, it is also possible to display...

[0097] Figure 17 means using Figure 16 A diagram of an example displayed in conjunction with the time limit 170 in the moving image reproducing method described will be described. The length of the time limit 170 corresponds to the length of the entire video segment captured, and the blacked-out segment 171 is a segmented and reproduced video segment. In addition, arrows 172 indicate positions of frames that are being reproduced by category in the entire captured video section. This makes it possible to more easily visually recognize which section is being reproduced among all the captured moving image sections.

[0098] In addition, the length of the time limit may be associated with the length of the imaging section from which the panoramic image is cut out. In this case, it is possible to confirm which section among the imaging sections from which the panorama image is cut out is being played back by classification.

[0099] In order to perform the display described a...

[0101] in use Figure 16 In the moving image playback method described below, the cropped panoramic image displayed on the display unit 19 is not moved. Figure 18 It is a diagram showing an example in which a cropped panoramic image displayed on the display unit 19 is also moved and displayed.

[0102] exist Figure 18 In the shown display example, the cropped panoramic images displayed on the display unit 19 are replaced in the order of image 180 , image 181 , image 182 , and image 181 . exist Figure 18 In the figure, the upper part shows the transition of the screen displayed on the display unit 19 , and the lower part shows the cropped panoramic image displayed simultaneously with the frames 190 to 197 which are sorted and reproduced. exist Figure 18 In the lower part of , the image 183 displayed simultaneously with the cut-out panoramic images 180, 181, and 182 is an image representing a part of a panoramic image composed of a plurality of still images constituting ...

Abstract

A panoramic image generation device generates a panoramic image by synthesizing a plurality of static images constituting the moving image, determines a size at which a display panoramic image is to be cut out from the panoramic image, and detects a focus photography position from the panoramic image. The panoramic image generation device cuts out the display panoramic image from the panoramic image on the basis of the detected focus photography position and the determined size.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for generating panoramic images from moving images. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, techniques for generating a panoramic image from a plurality of still images constituting a moving image are known (see JP2009-141821A, JP2000-244814A, and JP2009-159514A). [0003] However, when a panoramic image is generated from a plurality of still images constituting a moving image, an extremely horizontally or vertically long panoramic image is generated. In such an extremely horizontally or vertically long panoramic image, there is a problem that it is difficult to confirm a subject that the user pays attention to. Contents of the invention [0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for generating a panorama image in which a subject of interest to a user is easily visually recognized from a plurality of still images constituting a moving image. [0005] A panoramic image gene...
