Abstract
There is provided an image processing device including an input image acquisition portion that acquires an input image, a past image acquisition portion that acquires a past image of a photographic subject in the input image, a mode selection portion that selects one of modes, using the input image, from among a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is overlapped with the photographic subject in the input image and a second mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is arranged side by side with the photographic subject in the input image, and a display control portion that superimposes the past image on the input image in accordance with the mode selected by the mode selection portion.
Claims12
An image processing device comprising:
- an input image acquisition portion that acquires an input image;
- a past image acquisition portion that acquires a past image of a photographic subject in the input image;
- a mode selection portion that selects one of modes, using the input image, from among a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is overlapped with the photographic subject in the input image and a second mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is arranged side by side with the photographic subject in the input image;
- and
- a display control portion that superimposes the past image on the input image in accordance with the mode selected by the mode selection portion,
- wherein the mode selection portion selects one of the modes in response to a motion of the photographic subject in the input image.
A display control method that controls display of an image in an image processing device, the display control method comprising:
- acquiring an input image;
- acquiring a past image of a photographic subject in the input image;
- selecting one of modes, using the input image, from among a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is overlapped with the photographic subject in the input image and a second mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is arranged side by side with the photographic subject in the input image;
- and
- superimposing the past image on the input image in accordance with the selected mode,
- wherein the selecting selects one of the modes in response to a motion of the photographic subject in the input image.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a program comprising instructions that when executed command a computer to function as:
- an input image acquisition portion that acquires an input image;
- a past image acquisition portion that acquires a past image of a photographic subject in the input image;
- a mode selection portion that selects one of modes, using the input image, from among a plurality of modes including a first mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is overlapped with the photographic subject in the input image and a second mode in which the photographic subject in the past image is arranged side by side with the photographic subject in the input image;
- and
- a display control portion that superimposes the past image on the input image in accordance with the mode selected by the mode selection portion,
- wherein the mode selection portion selects one of the modes in response to a motion of the photographic subject in the input image.
