Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a drawing reading unit configured to read a drawn line on a display, an extraction target still image determination unit configured to determine a point for extracting a still image from moving image data according to a locus read by the drawing reading unit, a still image extraction unit configured to extract a still image from the moving image data based on a point determined by the extraction target still image determination unit, and a still image display unit configured to display a still image extracted by the still image extraction unit, on the locus of the display.

Claims

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a drawing reading unit configured to read a drawn line on a display;

an extraction target still image determination unit configured to determine a point for extracting a still image from moving image data according to a locus read by the drawing reading unit;

a still image extraction unit configured to extract a still image from the moving image data based on a point determined by the extraction target still image determination unit; and

a still image display unit configured to display a still image extracted by the still image extraction unit, on the locus of the display.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the extraction target still image determination unit determines a point for extracting a still image according to quickness of a locus read by the drawing reading unit.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the extraction target still image determination unit determines a point for extracting a still image according to a shape of a locus read by the drawing reading unit.

4. An image processing method for controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

reading a line drawn on a display;

determining a point for extracting a still image from a moving image data according to the read locus;

extracting a still image from the moving image data based on the determined point;

displaying the extracted still image on the locus of the display.

5. The image processing method according to claim 4, wherein a point is determined for extracting a still image according to quickness of a locus read from the line drawn on the display.

6. The image processing method according to claim 4, wherein a point is determined for extracting a still image according to a shape of a locus read from the line drawn on the display.

7. A computer program causing a computer to execute an image processing method for controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:

reading a line drawn on a display;

determining a point for extracting a still image from moving image data according to the read locus;

extracting a still image from the moving image data based on the determined point; and

displaying the extracted still image on the locus of the display.
