Abstract
An image edit apparatus designates not only moving objects based on sequential images at the time intervals initially designated by the user, but also moving object, which was shot at shorter time intervals than the initially designated time intervals and corresponds to a freely selected position designated by the user on the locus (trajectory) of the moving objects as analysis targets of the moving objects. Thus, from the continuously shot sequential images/moving image acquired by shooting a moving object, the user designates an image at a freely selected part which is not a part of the regular time intervals, and can utilize the image for analyzing the moving object.
Claims9
An image edit apparatus, comprising a processor and a storage storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to:
- select a plurality of second images from among a plurality of first images obtained by shooting a moving object at first time intervals, the plurality of second images corresponding to second time intervals which are designated and are longer than the first time intervals;
- generate a synthesis image by synthesizing the selected second images, and display the synthesis image on a display, the synthesis image including therein a plurality of objects corresponding to the selected second images;
- determine whether one or more positions designated within the synthesis image on the display are corresponding positions to one or more second objects among the included objects within the synthesis image;
- in response to determining that the one or more positions designated within the synthesis image on the display are the corresponding positions to the one or more second objects among the included objects within the synthesis image, record the one or more positions of the one or more second objects within the synthesis image, the one or more positions being recorded as coordinates within a coordinate system set to the synthesis image;
- obtain at least one regression formula within the coordinate system, based on the recorded one or more positions of the one or more second objects within the synthesis image;
- and
- update the synthesis image by adding thereto at least one graph image expressing the obtained at least one regression formula, and display the updated synthesis image on the display.
A method executed by an image edit apparatus,
- the image edit apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage storing instructions executed by the processor,
- wherein the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of first images obtained by shooting a moving object at time intervals;
- outputting a first synthesis image of a plurality of second images included in the acquired first images;
- and
- outputting, when a position, which is designated by a user operation and is other than the second images included in the first synthesis image, agrees with a position of the object included in any one of the first images, a second synthesis image in which the any one of the first images is further synthesized on the first synthesis image.
A non-transitory recording medium having a program recorded thereon that is executable to control a processor of an image edit apparatus, which comprises a processor and a storage storing instructions executed by the processor, to:
- acquire a plurality of first images obtained by shooting a moving object at time intervals;
- select a plurality of second images from among the acquired first images;
- generate a first synthesis image by synthesizing the selected second images, and display the first synthesis image on a display;
- determine whether a position within the first synthesis image, which corresponds to a position of the object included in any one of the first images, has been designated on the display;
- and
- generate, when it is determined that the position within the first synthesis image, which corresponds to the position of the object included in the any one of the first images, has been designated on the display, a second synthesis image by further synthesizing the any one of the first images on the first synthesis image, and display the second synthesis image on the display.
