Abstract:
1. A filming device, comprising: a filming unit that imports a plurality of frames of a moving image at a prescribed sampling rate; an angular velocity detecting unit that detects an angular velocity indicating a shake amount corresponding to each of the plurality of frames in each of three mutually orthogonal axes; an angular velocity sampling unit that, prior to the importing of the frames by the filming unit, samples the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity detecting unit for a prescribed time in each of the three mutually orthogonal axes; a tolerance range setting unit that, based on a shake tolerance range, sets an angular velocity tolerance range in each of the three mutually orthogonal axes; a shake tendency specifying unit that specifies a shake tendency based on the sampled angular velocity and the angular velocity tolerance range; an algorithm determination unit that determines an algorithm for selecting the frame based on the shake tendency; and a frame selection and transmission unit that selects frames of the plurality of frames based on the determined algorithm, and that sequentially transmits only the selected frames; wherein the shake tendency specifying unit specifies: wherein the algorithm determination unit sets the determined algorithm to be: wherein the frame selection and transmission unit selects:
