Abstract

[Object] To reproduce an image to which an effect desired by a user is added.[Solution] There is provided an image processing device including: an image reverse stabilization processing unit configured to add an effect of expressing shaking to an image on the basis of shaking information on shaking of the image. In addition, there is provided an image processing device including: an image reverse stabilization processing unit configured to decide a degree of an effect of expressing shaking to be added to an image, on the basis of an expectation value of an immersed feeling of an observer with respect to the image.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An image shooting apparatus comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture a moving image; and
circuitry configured to associate a stabilization information to the moving image in a case where a stabilization process has been applied to the moving image to produce a stabilized image, and to generate a reverse-stabilized image based on the stabilization information and the stabilized image,
wherein the reverse-stabilized image has a larger degree of movement than the stabilized image.

2. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization process is an optical camera shaking correction.

3. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization process is applied to the moving image by signal processing circuitry.

4. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization information represents a movement vector.

5. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to associate an immersed degree to the moving image.

6. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reverse-stabilized image includes a shaking effect.

7. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory configured to store at least one of the stabilization information or the moving image.

8. The image shooting apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image sensor is a CCD device or a CMOS device.

9. An image shooting method comprising:
capturing, by an image sensor, a moving image;
associating, by circuitry, a stabilization information to the moving image in a case where a stabilization process has been applied to the moving image to produce a stabilized image; and
generating, by the circuitry, a reverse-stabilized image based on the stabilization information and the stabilized image,
wherein the reverse-stabilized image has a larger degree of movement than the stabilized image.

10. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , wherein the stabilization process is an optical camera shaking correction.

11. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , wherein the stabilization process is applied to the moving image by signal processing circuitry.

12. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , wherein the stabilization information represents a movement vector.

13. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
associating, by the circuitry, an immersed degree to the moving image.

14. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , wherein the reverse-stabilized image includes a shaking effect.

15. The image shooting method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
storing, by a memory, at least one of the stabilization information or the moving image.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor associated with an image shooting device, cause the image shooting device to perform operations comprising:
capturing, by an image sensor of the image shooting device, a moving image;
associating, by circuitry of the image shooting device, a stabilization information to the moving image in a case where a stabilization process has been applied to the moving image to produce a stabilized image; and
generating, by the circuitry, a reverse-stabilized image based on the stabilization information and the moving image,
wherein the reverse-stabilized image has a larger degree of movement than the stabilized image.
