Abstract
An image processing device is provided that edits moving image data with which haptics data for eliciting haptic sensation is associated. The image processing apparatus detects whether or not first and second haptics data respectively associated with first and second sections that are adjacent in a time direction in edited moving image data vary discontinuously. If it is detected that the first and second haptics data vary discontinuously, the first and second haptics data are modified so as to suppress the discontinuous variation.
Claims13
An image processing device that edits moving image data having associated haptics data that elicits haptic sensation, the image processing device comprising
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that, upon execution of the stored instructions, causes the image processing device to:
- detect whether or not first and second haptics data respectively associated with first and second sections that are adjacent in a time direction in edited moving image data vary discontinuously;
- and
- modify the first and second haptics data so as to suppress the discontinuous variation when it is detected that the first and second haptics data vary discontinuously,
- wherein the first and second haptics data include perception information provided for each type of haptic sensation that is elicited by respective haptics data, and
- the execution of the stored instruction further causes the image processing apparatus to detect a presence of discontinuous variation between the first and second haptics data by comparing the perception information respectively included in the first and second haptics data.
An image processing method to be executed by an image processing device, the image processing method being for editing moving image data with which haptics data for eliciting haptic sensation is associated, the method comprising:
- detecting whether or not first and second haptics data respectively associated with first and second sections that are adjacent in a time direction in edited moving image data vary discontinuously;
- and
- modifying the first and second haptics data so as to suppress the discontinuous variation when it is detected that the first and second haptics data vary discontinuously,
- wherein the first and second haptics data include perception information provided for each type of haptic sensation that is elicited by respective haptics data, and
- the method further comprises detecting a presence of discontinuous variation between the first and second haptics data by comparing the perception information respectively included in the first and second haptics data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores one or more programs that cause, when executed by a computer, the computer to perform an image processing method for editing moving image data with which haptics data for eliciting haptic sensation is associated, the method comprising:
- detecting whether or not first and second haptics data respectively associated with first and second sections that are adjacent in a time direction in edited moving image data vary discontinuously;
- and
- modifying the first and second haptics data so as to suppress the discontinuous variation when it is detected that the first and second haptics data vary discontinuously,
- wherein the first and second haptics data include perception information provided for each type of haptic sensation that is elicited by respective haptics data, and
- the method further comprises detecting a presence of discontinuous variation between the first and second haptics data by comparing the perception information respectively included in the first and second haptics data.
