Abstract:
1. An image processing system comprising: an image obtaining section that obtains a moving image; a characteristic region information obtaining section that obtains information indicating positions of characteristic regions in a plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image; and an image generating section that generates display images having substantially the same size as each other, by reducing or enlarging each of images of the characteristic regions included in the plurality of moving images constituting images in the moving image, based on the positions indicated by the information obtained by the characteristic region information obtaining section, a characteristic region detecting section that detects the characteristic regions from the plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image, wherein the characteristic region information obtaining section obtains the information indicating the positions of the characteristic regions detected by the characteristic region detecting section, an output section that outputs information indicating positions of the characteristic regions detected by the characteristic region detecting section, in association with the plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image, wherein the characteristic region information obtaining section obtains the information indicating the positions of the characteristic regions outputted by the output section in association with the plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image, an instruction obtaining section that obtains an instruction to display the display image, wherein the output section records the moving image in association with the information indicating the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions detected by the characteristic region detecting section, and the image generating section, when the instruction obtaining section has obtained the instruction, generates the display images having substantially the same size as each other, by reducing or enlarging each of the images of the characteristic regions included in the plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image based on the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions indicated by the information recorded in association with the moving image, a compression section that compresses the moving image, wherein the output section records the moving image compressed by the compression section, in association with the information indicating the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions detected by the characteristic region detecting section, an expanding section that expands the compressed moving image, wherein the output section records the information indicating the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions detected by the characteristic region detecting section, in association with information respectively identifying the moving image constituting images included in the moving image from which the characteristic regions are extracted, the expanding section, when the instruction obtaining section has obtained the instruction, identifies a plurality of the moving images constituting images included in the moving image identified by the information recorded in association with the information indicating the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions, and expands a partial moving image of the compressed moving image, the partial moving image corresponding to a period of time including a display timing at which the plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image identified by the recorded information are displayed, and the image generating section, when the instruction obtaining section has obtained the instruction, generates the display images, by reducing or enlarging each of images of a plurality of characteristic regions included in a plurality of moving images constituting images included in the moving image included in the partial moving image expanded by the expanding section, based on the positions of the plurality of characteristic regions indicated by the information recorded in association with the compressed moving image.
