Abstract:
1. A video processing apparatus comprising: an identifying unit configured to identify a designated area in spherical coordinates of which origin corresponds to a position of an imaging unit; a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display an image captured by the imaging unit; a display processing unit configured to perform a process to display a mask image on a corresponding area that represents the captured image to be displayed on the display unit, which is obtained when the designated area is projected on an xy coordinate plane; and a determination unit configured to determine mean values with respect to x coordinate value and y coordinate value of vertices that define the corresponding area, on the xy coordinate plane, wherein the display processing unit is configured to display the mask image on the captured image such that a position of a first point on the xy coordinate plane corresponds to a position of a second point on the xy coordinate plane, the second point defined by a midpoint in the height direction and a midpoint in the width direction of the mask image on the xy coordinate plane, and wherein the first point has a x coordinate value and a y coordinate value identical to the mean values determined by the determination unit with respect to the x coordinate value and the y coordinate value.
