Abstract

A video processing apparatus analyzes an input video input from a video input unit, detects a plurality of moving bodies included in the input video, determines a main moving body and a sub moving body, and determines a sub picture position for superimposing and displaying a sub video in a main video in a picture-in-picture form. This video processing apparatus performs cut-out processing on the main video and the sub video from the input video, and synthesizes the cut-out main video and sub video to generate a picture-in-picture synthesized video in which the sub video is superimposed at the sub picture position of the main video in the picture-in-picture form. The picture-in-picture synthesized video is output in one stream.

Claims

1. A video processing apparatus comprising:

a determination unit that determines one main moving body and at least one sub moving body from among a plurality of moving bodies when a plurality of moving bodies is detected in an input video input from a video input unit;

a sub picture position determination unit that determines a sub picture position when a sub video for displaying the sub moving body is superimposed and displayed in a picture-in-picture form in a main video for displaying the main moving body;

a cut-out unit that performs cut-out processing on the main video and the sub video from the input video; and

a synthesized video generation unit that generates a picture-in-picture synthesized video in which the sub video cut out by the cut-out unit is superimposed at the sub picture position of the main video cut out by the cut-out unit.

2. The video processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising, an user input unit that received an input from an user;

wherein the main moving body is designated by the user through the user input unit.
