Abstract
The present invention has been made to facilitate search or management of video data. The present invention generates a display space defined by display axes determined by feature parameters representing the feature of video data or audio data or associated parameters linked to the video data or audio data, converts feature values designated by the feature parameters or associated values designated by the associated parameters into coordinate parameters corresponding to a position on the display axes on the display space, and displays the video data through a display window on the display space in accordance with the change of the position corresponding to the converted coordinate parameters.
Claims21
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- display space generation means for generating a display space defined by display axes determined by one of feature parameters representing a feature of video data or audio data and associated parameters linked to the video data or audio data;
- conversion means for converting feature values designated by one of the feature parameters and associated values designated by the associated parameters into coordinate parameters corresponding to a position on the display axes on the display space;
- and
- display control means for displaying the video data through a display window on the display space in accordance with a change of the position corresponding to the converted coordinate parameters
- wherein the display control means displays, as a trajectory, a movement pathway that the display window through which the video data is displayed moves in accordance with passage of time in which the video data is displayed on the display space.
An image processing method comprising:
- a display space generation step of generating a display space defined by display axes determined by one of feature parameters representing a feature of video data or audio data and associated parameters linked to the video data or audio data;
- a conversion step of converting feature values designated by one of the feature parameters and associated values designated by the associated parameters into coordinate parameters corresponding to a position on the display axes on the display space;
- and
- a display control step of displaying the video data through a display window on the display space in accordance with a change of the position corresponding to the converted coordinate parameters,
- wherein the display control step displays, as a trajectory, a movement pathway that the display window through which the video data is displayed moves in accordance with passage of time in which the video data is displayed on the display space.
