An information processing apparatus, comprising: an image acquisition section for acquiring a moving image; a detection section for detecting moving bodies existing in the moving image acquired by the image acquisition section; a face image acquisition section for acquiring a still image of faces of the moving bodies detected by said detection section, the still image having a narrower field of view than the moving image; a moving image storage section for storing the moving image acquired by said image acquisition section; an information storage section for storing, based on a result of the detection by said detection section, moving body information representative of the moving bodies and reproduction information relating to reproduction of the moving image from which the moving bodies are detected in a coordinated relationship with each other; a face image storage section for storing face images obtained as a result of the image acquisition of the faces by said face image acquisition section in a coordinated relationship with moving body information representative of the moving bodies; and a reproduction section (231, 207) for reading out, when one of the face images which corresponds to a moving image of an object of reproduction is designated, the moving body information corresponding to the designated face image from said face image storage section, reading out the reproduction information corresponding to the read out moving body information from said information storage section and reproducing the moving image stored in said moving image storage section based on the read out reproduction information; wherein the detection section is adapted to determine priority ranks for the acquisition of the face images for the detected moving bodies such that a first moving body positioned at a higher position has a higher priority rank than a second moving body positioned at a lower position, and the face image acquisition section is adapted to acquire an image of one or more of the detected moving bodies having the highest priority rank. an image acquisition section for acquiring a moving image; a detection section for detecting moving bodies existing in the moving image acquired by the image acquisition section; a face image acquisition section for acquiring a still image of faces of the moving bodies detected by said detection section, the still image having a narrower field of view than the moving image; a moving image storage section for storing the moving image acquired by said image acquisition section; an information storage section for storing, based on a result of the detection by said detection section, moving body information representative of the moving bodies and reproduction information relating to reproduction of the moving image from which the moving bodies are detected in a coordinated relationship with each other; a face image storage section for storing face images obtained as a result of the image acquisition of the faces by said face image acquisition section in a coordinated relationship with moving body information representative of the moving bodies; and a reproduction section (231, 207) for reading out, when one of the face images which corresponds to a moving image of an object of reproduction is designated, the moving body information corresponding to the designated face image from said face image storage section, reading out the reproduction information corresponding to the read out moving body information from said information storage section and reproducing the moving image stored in said moving image storage section based on the read out reproduction information; wherein the detection section is adapted to determine priority ranks for the acquisition of the face images for the detected moving bodies such that a first moving body positioned at a higher position has a higher priority rank than a second moving body positioned at a lower position, and the face image acquisition section is adapted to acquire an image of one or more of the detected moving bodies having the highest priority rank.
