Abstract
An image processor detects an on-screen motion of a photographic subject in video image data generated by an image sensor provided in a camera body and outputs a photographic subject motion information. A sensor detects a motion of the camera body and outputs the detected motion as a camera body motion information. A scene decision encoding controller decides an image pickup condition of the video image data based on the photographic subject motion information and the camera body motion information, and performs an encoding amount regulation control suitable for the decided image pickup condition to an image compression processor.
Claims21
A video image pickup device, comprising:
- an image processor configured to detect an on-screen motion of a photographic subject in video image data generated by an image sensor provided in a camera body and output a photographic subject motion information;
- an image compression processor configured to compress the video image data into codes;
- a sensor configured to detect a motion of the camera body and output the detected motion as a camera body motion information;
- and
- a scene decision encoding controller configured to decide an image pickup condition of the video image data based on the photographic subject motion information and the camera body motion information, wherein
- the scene decision encoding controller performs an encoding amount regulation control suitable for the decided image pickup condition to the image compression processor.
