Abstract
A video compression apparatus for compressing video data as a series of frames outputted from an imaging element that has a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and for which imaging conditions can be set for the respective imaging regions, includes: a setting unit configured to set, based on a plurality of imaging conditions, a search region within a reference frame used for a processing to detect, based on a compression target region, a specific region in the reference frame; and a generation unit configured to generate, based on the processing using the search region set by the setting unit, the specific region to thereby generate a motion vector.
Claims16
A video compression apparatus for compressing video data as a series of frames outputted from an imaging element including an image sensor having a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and for which imaging conditions can be set for respective imaging regions, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- set, based on at least one of the imaging conditions to which the imaging element is set, a search region within a reference frame used for a processing to detect, based on a compression target region, a specific region in the reference frame;
- and
- generate, based on the processing using the search region set by the processor, the specific region to thereby generate a motion vector.
A video compression apparatus for compressing video data as a series of frames outputted from an imaging element including an image sensor and having a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and for which imaging conditions can be set for respective imaging regions, comprising:
- a processor configured to
- set a search region for detecting a specific region within a reference frame based on at least one of the imaging conditions to which the imaging element is set;
- and
- detect, based on a compression target region having a frame different from the reference frame, the specific region from the search region set by the processor.
An electronic device, comprising:
- an imaging element including an image sensor and having a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and that outputs video data for which imaging conditions can be set for respective imaging regions and that are a series of frames;
- and
- a processor configured to
- set, based on at least one of the imaging conditions to which the imaging element is set, a search region within a reference frame used for a processing to detect, based on a compression target region, a specific region in the reference frame;
- and
- detect, based on the processing using the search region set by the processor, the specific region to thereby generate a motion vector.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing thereon a video compression program for causing a processor to execute a compression of video data as a series of frames outputted from an imaging element including an image sensor and having a plurality of imaging regions for imaging a subject and for which imaging conditions can be set for respective imaging regions,
- wherein the video compression program causes the processor:
- to set, based on at least one of the imaging conditions to which the imaging element is set, a search region within a reference frame used for a processing to detect, based on a compression target region, a specific region in the reference frame;
- and
- to detect, based on the processing using the search region, the specific region to thereby generate a motion vector.
