Graphic arrangement deciding method, recording medium and information processing apparatus

A non-transitory recording medium on which a program is recorded, the program comprising computer-executable instructions of:

• acquiring photographed region information corresponding to information which identifies a photographed region and unphotographed region information corresponding to information which identifies an unphotographed region, from a wide-angle image created by superimposing a plurality of images including at least one of i) still images and ii) moving image frames including subjects which at least partially overlap with each other so that the overlapping parts of the subjects are superimposed with each other;
• setting order of priority of a partial region which is located at a desired position and has a desired size within the photographed region identified by the photographed region information, on the basis of an attribute of the partial region;
• and
• deciding arrangement of one or a plurality of graphics associated with the wide-angle image, on the basis of the unphotographed region information and the order of priority of the partial region,
• wherein the order of priority of the partial region is set on the basis of an area of the photographed area of the partial region per unit photographing time.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a photographed region/unphotographed region extraction unit for acquiring photographed region information corresponding to information which identifies a photographed region and unphotographed region information corresponding to information which identifies an unphotographed region, from a wide-angle image created by superimposing a plurality of images including at least one of i) still images and ii) moving image frames including subjects which at least partially overlap with each other so that the overlapping parts of the subjects are superimposed with each other;
• an image analysis unit for setting order of priority of a partial region which is located at a desired position and has a desired size within the photographed region identified by the photographed region information, on the basis of an attribute of the partial region;
• and
• an image layout unit for deciding arrangement of one or a plurality of graphics associated with the wide-angle image, on the basis of the unphotographed region information and the order of priority of the partial region,
• wherein the order of priority of the partial region is set on the basis of an area of the photographed area of the partial region per unit photographing time.
