Automatic stabilization control apparatus, automatic stabilization control method, and computer readable recording medium having automatic stabilization control program recorded thereon

In an automatic stabilization control method in which a moving image picked up by a camera is subjected to automatic stabilization control,

• an automatic stabilization control method comprising:
• a step for designating a range of frames which are to be subjected to automatic stabilization control (hereinafter referred to as a correction frame range);
• a step for calculating a common area where the image is common among the frames within the correction frame range;
• an automatic stabilization control step for subjecting each of the frames within the correction frame range to automatic stabilization control processing involving enlargement of the common area;
• and
• an enlargement processing step for subjecting vicinity frames preceding and succeeding the correction frame range to enlargement processing.

In a computer readable recording medium having an automatic stabilization control program, for subjecting a moving image picked up by a camera to automatic stabilization control, recorded thereon,

• a computer readable recording medium wherein the automatic stabilization control program causes a computer to carry out:
• a step for designating a range of frames which are to be subjected to automatic stabilization control (hereinafter referred to as a correction frame range);
• a step for calculating a common area where the image is common among the frames within the correction frame range;
• an automatic stabilization control step for subjecting each of the frames within the correction frame range to automatic stabilization control processing involving enlargement of the common area;
• and
• an enlargement processing step for subjecting vicinity frames preceding and succeeding the correction frame range to enlargement processing.
