Abstract

An image capture apparatus 1 is equipped with: a CPU 11 that acquires a plurality of images; a normalization unit 54 that performs normalization such that an area of at least one of a plurality of acquired images satisfies a predetermined criterion; and a display control unit 56 that performs control such that a plurality of images including the images normalized by the normalization unit 54 are displayed in an output unit 19.

Claims

1. A display control apparatus comprising:

a processor which is configured to;

acquire first images including a sequence of motions of a first subject;

specify a region of the first subject from one of the first images in accordance with a specifying operation by a user;

normalize a predetermined image based on the region of the first subject;

generate, as an index, histogram information by analyzing specific areas of the images; and

display the histogram information together with the normalized image on a display.

2. The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire second images including a sequence of motions of a second subject; and

perform control to display the predetermined image which has been normalized on the display,

wherein the predetermined image includes one of the first images or one of the second images.

3. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

normalize such that at least one of a position, a size, and an angle of the one of the first images or the one of the second images matches a position, a size, or an angle that is predetermined.

4. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify the one of the first images or the one of the second images to be normalized in accordance with a user operation,

wherein the processor normalizes the identified image such that at least one of a position, a size, and an angle of the identified image matches a position, a size, or an angle that is predetermined.

5. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

select one of the first images or one of the second images to be used as a reference,

wherein the processor performs normalizing by using the selected one image as the reference.

6. The display control apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the processor corrects the images among the first images and the second images other than the selected one image such that the images match at least one of a position, a size, and an angle of the selected one image.

7. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor normalizes the one of the first images or the one of the second images including a predetermined posture of the first subject or the second subject.

8. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

analyze the sequences of motions of the first subject and the second subject in the first images and the second images,

wherein the processor normalizes images from the first images and the second images other than an image having a predetermined posture based on an analysis result.

9. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify a predetermined posture from the sequences of motions in the first images and the second images,

wherein the processor normalizes images from the first images and the second images other than an image having the predetermined posture based on an image having the predetermined posture.

10. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor normalizes images from the first images and the second images respectively or normalizes at least one moving image comprising a plurality of images including a sequence of motions.

11. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

specify the region of the first subject, wherein the region is common to the first images and the second images.

12. The display control apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the processor is further configured to:

normalize the predetermined image which includes a specific posture of the sequence of motions of the second images based on the region of the first subject; and

perform control to display the predetermined image which includes the specific posture of the sequence of motions on the display.

13. The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the sequence of motions includes a golf swing motion.

14. The display control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:

specify the region which is smaller than a whole of a region of the first subject.

15. A display control method comprising:

acquiring first images including a sequence of motions of a first subject;

specifying a region of the first subject from one of the first images in accordance with a specifying operation by a user;

normalizing a predetermined image based on the region of the first subject;

generating, as an index, histogram information by analyzing specific areas of the images; and

displaying the histogram information together with the normalized image on a display.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer to perform functions comprising:

acquiring first images including a sequence of motions of a first subject;

specifying a region of the first subject from one of the first images in accordance with a specifying operation by a user;

normalizing a predetermined image based on the region of the first subject;

generating, as an index, histogram information by analyzing specific areas of the images; and

displaying the histogram information together with the normalized image on a display.

17. A display control apparatus comprising:

a processor which is configured to;

acquire first images including a sequence of motions of a first subject;

specify a region of the first subject from one of the first images in accordance with a specifying operation by a user;

identify a predetermined posture from the sequence of motions in the first images; and

normalize a predetermined image from the first images other than an image having the predetermined posture based on the region of the first subject.

18. The display control apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire second images including a sequence of motions of a second subject; and

perform control to display the predetermined image which has been normalized on a display.
