Image processing apparatus, moving image encoding apparatus, information processing method and information processing program
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an input unit which inputs moving image data of frames;
a reference information acquisition unit which acquires reference information in accordance with the moving image data of one of the frames inputted to the input unit, the reference information forming a reference for identifying a constituent part of a person;
a constituent part region extraction unit which extracts, in accordance with the reference information, a constituent part region where the constituent part of the person is situated, from the moving image data of each of the frames inputted after the frame from which the reference information has been acquired by the reference information acquisition unit;
a priority region setting unit which sets, in accordance with the constituent part region, a priority region in the moving image data of each of the frames inputted after the frame from which the reference information has been acquired by the reference information acquisition unit; and
a processing unit which carries out prescribed information processing preferentially in the priority region set by the priority region setting unit.

9. A moving image encoding apparatus, comprising:
-
an input unit which inputs moving image data of frames;
a compression unit which compresses the moving image data of the frames inputted to the input unit;
a quantization unit which quantizes the moving image data of the frames compressed by the compression unit;
an output unit which outputs the moving image data of the frames quantized by the quantization unit;
a reference information acquisition unit which acquires reference information in accordance with the moving image data of one of the frames inputted to the input unit, the reference information forming a reference for identifying a constituent part of a person;
a constituent part region extraction unit which extracts, in accordance with the reference information, a constituent part region where the constituent part of the person is situated, from the moving image data of each of the frames inputted after the frame from which the reference information has been acquired by the reference information acquisition unit; and
a high-level quantization region setting unit which sets, in accordance with the constituent part region, a high-level quantization region in the moving image data of each of the frames inputted after the frame from which the reference information has been acquired by the reference information acquisition unit, wherein the quantization unit adjusts an adaptive level of quantization to become finer in a block of the high-level quantization region.
