Image processing to obtain high-quality loop moving image
First Claim
1. An image processing device, comprising:
- a loop moving image generator configured to;
clip out a subject with motion from a plurality of shot images shot at different points in time to generate a motion segment, wherein the motion segment includes the subject with motion;
detect a first image and a second image, of a plurality of continuous images of a plurality of the motion segments, having a degree of similarity that is highest,wherein the degree of similarity is calculated based on a sum of absolute difference of pixels, of the first image and the second image, that corresponds to a sum of absolute values of difference in a luminance value for each of the pixels at same position in the first image and the second image; and
generate, from the plurality of shot images, a plurality of first images playable as a loop moving image, based on the detected first image and the second image, the motion segment, and at least a still segment,wherein the motion segment and the still segment are obtained from the plurality of shot images in a spatial direction.

Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing device and method, and program, whereby a high-quality loop moving image can be obtained more easily. Upon continuous shot images of multiple frames serving as material of a loop moving image being input, the continuous shot images are divided into multiple segments including motion segments including a moving subject and a still segment including a subject with no motion. An image of the motion segment region of the continuous shot images is formed into a loop moving image, and a segment loop moving image is generated. Also, an image of a still segment region of the continuous shot images is clipped out, and a segment image which is a still image is generated. Further, these segment loop moving image and segment image are integrated, to form one loop moving image. The present invention can be applied to an image processing device.
