Image processing apparatus, moving image reproducing apparatus, and processing method and program therefor

Abstract

To easily understand the contents of a moving image taken by an image taking apparatus. An image conversion block 150 converts a taken image on the basis of conversion information. A transparency conversion block 160 converts the transparency in the converted taken image. A image synthesis block 170 synthesizes the taken image with the transparency converted with a log image and holds a resultant new log image in an image memory 180 . An index image extraction block 190 extracts a new index image from among the converted taken images on the basis of the coordinate position and size of an index image in an image taking space. A selection block 270 selects an index image on the basis of the position of a selected representative image when the position of a panorama image displayed on a display block 292 is selected. A display control block 291 displays a panorama image on the display block 292 and displays the selected index image, overlapped on the panorama image.

         16 . An image processing apparatus comprising:
 circuitry configured to
 acquire a moving image taken by an image taking apparatus; 
 store, as related with each taken image, conversion information for converting another taken image with reference to at least one taken image of taken images configuring said taken moving image; 
 hold a log image; 
 convert a taken image related with said conversion information on the basis of said conversion information; 
 convert color information in said converted taken image in accordance with a recording position in said taken moving image of said taken image; 
 synthesize said taken image with color information converted and holding a resultant new log image in said image holding means; and 
 display said log image as a representative image indicative of said taken moving image. 
   
     
     
         17 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 17 ,
 wherein the circuitry is further configured to convert transparency in said converted taken image in accordance with a recording position in said taken moving image of said taken image.
