Patent Images

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.
