Abstract

An information processing device, which includes: a data holding section which holds first time-series data of an operation parameter which varies through a predetermined capturing operation; a data comparing section which compares second time-series data of the operation parameter with the first time-series data, the second time-series data being correlated with a moving image recorded through an actual capturing operation and varying through the actual capturing operation; and a data area specifying section which specifies, among the second time-series data, a data area corresponding to the first time-series data on the basis of the comparison of the first and second time-series data.

Claims

1. An information processing device, comprising:

a data holding section which holds first time-series data of an operation parameter which varies through a predetermined capturing operation;

a data comparing section which compares second time-series data of the operation parameter with the first time-series data, the second time-series data being correlated with a moving image recorded through an actual capturing operation and varying through the actual capturing operation; and

a data area specifying section which specifies, among the second time-series data, a data area corresponding to the first time-series data on the basis of the comparison of the first and second time-series data.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the data area specifying section specifies, among the second time-series data, a data area included in tolerance of the first time-series data on the basis of a comparison of the first time-series data and the second time-series data.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the tolerance of the first time-series data is determined arbitrarily.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the data comparing section compares the second time-series data with the first time-series data during recording of the moving image which is recorded through the actual capturing operation.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the data comparing section compares the second time-series data with the first time-series data after the moving image recorded through the actual capturing operation is recorded.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein:

the data holding section holds first time-series data which includes a plurality of operation parameters;

the data comparing section compares the second time-series data which includes the plurality of the operation parameters with the first time-series data which includes the plurality of operation parameters; and

the data area specifying section specifies, among the second time-series data which includes the plurality of operation parameters, a data area which corresponds to the first time-series data including the plurality of the operation parameters.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a data generating section which generates, on the basis of the second time-series data of the operation parameter which is correlated with the moving image recorded through the actual capturing operation and varies through the actual capturing operation, first time-series data of the operation parameter which varies through the predetermined capturing operation.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a recording section which stores the second time-series data of the operation parameter which varies through the actual operation in correlation with the moving image recorded through the actual capturing operation.

9. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the operation parameter is varied in accordance with one of panning, tilting, dollying and zooming.

10. An information processing method comprising the steps of:

comparing first time-series data of an operation parameter with second time-series data of the operation parameter, the first time-series data varying in accordance with a predetermined capturing operation and the second time-series data being correlated with a moving image recorded through an actual capturing operation and varying through the actual capturing operation; and

specifying, on the basis of the comparison between the first and the second time-series data, a data area in the second time-series data which specifies a data area that corresponds to the first time-series data.

11. A program which allows a computer to execute an information processing method comprising the steps of:

comparing first time-series data of an operation parameter with second time-series data of the operation parameter, the first time-series data varying in accordance with a predetermined capturing operation and the second time-series data being correlated with a moving image recorded through an actual capturing operation and varying through the actual capturing operation; and

specifying, on the basis of the comparison between the first and the second time-series data, a data area in the second time-series data which specifies a data area that corresponds to the first time-series data.
