Information processing apparatus, method and computer program product

Abstract

An information processing apparatus, comprising: receiver circuitry configured to receive i) a video stream comprising a plurality of images, each image containing at least one object located at a position in a plane and the image having associated image timing information indicating its temporal position in the video stream and ii) a stream of object tracking information each having associated object timing information indicating its temporal position in the stream of object tracking information wherein the stream of object tracking information corresponds to the video stream and separately defines the position of the object in the plane captured in each image in the video stream; and controller circuitry configured to perform pattern matching on the position of each of the objects in the video stream and the object tracking information, and when there is a closest matching position, synchronising the image timing information and the object timing information.
