Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

Abstract

This technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program, which enable easier addition of an effect to a moving image. In a portable terminal device, an ambient environmental sound and a voice uttered by a user are picked up by different sound pickup units when the moving image is shot. A keyword detecting unit detects a keyword determined in advance from the voice uttered by the user and an effect generating unit generates an image effect and a sound effect associated with the detected keyword. Then, an effect adding unit superposes the generated image effect on the shot moving image and synthesizes the generated sound effect with the environmental sound, thereby applying image effects and sound effects to the moving image. According to the portable terminal device, it is possible to easily add a desired effect to the moving image only by uttering the keyword while shooting the moving image. This technology may be applied to a mobile phone.
