Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes: a detection section detecting an image of an object from moving image data; a table creation section recording position information indicating a position on the moving image data in a table on the basis of a detection result by the detection section; a dubbing processing section performing dubbing processing on the moving image data; and a control section controlling the dubbing processing section so as to extract a portion of the moving image data recorded on a first recording medium on the basis of the position information recorded in the table, and to perform the dubbing processing on the extracted portion onto a second recording medium.

Claims

1. A data processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section detecting an image of an object from moving image data;

a table creation section recording position information indicating a position on the moving image data in a table on the basis of a detection result by the detection section;

a dubbing processing section performing dubbing processing on the moving image data; and

a control section controlling the dubbing processing section so as to extract a portion of the moving image data recorded on a first recording medium on the basis of the position information recorded in the table, and to perform the dubbing processing on the extracted portion onto a second recording medium.

2. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the control section controls the dubbing processing section so as not to perform the dubbing processing if a playback time of the portion extracted from the moving image data is shorter than a threshold value on the basis of the position information.

3. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising:

an operation section accepting a user'"'"'s operation,

wherein the threshold value is set by the user'"'"'s operation onto the operation section.

4. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the control section creates a playlist storing playback control information for the portion of the moving image data to be dubbed at the time of the dubbing processing, and controls the dubbing processing section so as to record the created playlist onto the second recording medium.

5. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the detection section can identify an individual of the object, and

the table creation section records identification information identifying the individual of the detected object on the basis of the detection result of the detection section in connection with the position information.

6. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the control section controls the dubbing processing section so as to select the position information corresponding to the individual of the specified object on the basis of the identification information recorded in the table, extracts the portion of the moving image recorded on the first recording medium on the basis of the selected position information, and performs dubbing processing on the extracted portion onto the second recording medium.

7. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the object is a human face, and the image of the object is a human face image.

8. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the table creation section records a position at which a number of images of the objects detected in a frame of the moving image data has changed on the basis of the detection result of the detection section.

9. A method of processing data, comprising:

detecting an image of an object from moving image data;

recording position information indicating a position on the moving image data in a table on the basis of a detection result by the step of detecting;

performing dubbing processing on the moving image data; and

controlling the step of performing dubbing processing so as to extract a portion of the moving image data recorded on a first recording medium, and to perform dubbing processing on the extracted portion on a second recording medium.

10. A program for causing a computer to perform a method of processing data, comprising:

detecting an image of an object from moving image data;

recording position information indicating a position on the moving image data in a table on the basis of a detection result by the step of detecting;

performing dubbing processing on the moving image data; and

controlling the step of performing dubbing processing so as to extract a portion of the moving image data recorded on a first recording medium, and to perform dubbing processing on the extracted portion on a second recording medium.
