Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: recording control processing circuitry configured to control recording of an image of a predetermined frame among images of a plurality of consecutive frames; trim box setting processing circuitry configured to set a plurality of trim boxes containing a subject area which is an area of a subject of interest in the image of the predetermined frame recorded by the recording control processing circuitry; and generation control processing circuitry configured to control generation of a plurality of trim images from the image of the predetermined frame recorded by the recording control processing circuitry, based on the plurality of trim boxes set by the trim box setting processing circuitry, wherein the trim box setting processing circuitry is configured to set the number of trim boxes according to at least one of a size and a position of the subject area in the image of the predetermined frame recorded by the recording control processing circuitry, and the trim box setting processing circuitry is configured to set a smaller number of trim boxes if the subject area is larger than the image, and to set a larger number of trim boxes if the subject area is smaller than the image, in the image of the predetermined frame.
