There is provided an information processing device that includes a control unit configured to perform image-capture control on the basis of image-capture rendering information indicating a change in captured image and image-capture target information indicating an image-capture target. The term 'image-capture' used herein means an operation for obtaining an image using a camera, the “camera” being defined as both a real camera and a virtual camera that virtually changes composition by clipping a part of an image obtained as a result of a light-receiving operation of the real camera.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an image processing section that generates visual information that is to be superimposed on or around a ball in a play video being a video of table-tennis play and that indicates a characteristic of the ball including at least one of a spin speed or a rotation direction of the ball.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of easily setting a frame for starting predetermined processing in a moving image of a play in a ball game. The information processing apparatus includes: an analysis unit that detects a trajectory of a ball in a first moving image; and a start frame setting unit that sets a start frame for starting predetermined processing among frames of the first moving image on the basis of a detection result of the trajectory of the ball in the first moving image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a system that analyzes a rotation characteristic of a serve in table tennis.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program making it possible to achieve camerawork corresponding to changes in various conditions when controlling multiple robot cameras. Position information about a subject is acquired, timing information indicating a passage of time is acquired, and on a basis of the timing information and the position information about the subject, camerawork control information controlling the camerawork of an image capture apparatus that captures the subject is generated. The present disclosure is applicable to a switcher apparatus that controls multiple robot cameras.

The present disclosure relates to an image processing device that reduces the computation load in image processing, an image processing method, and a program. A rough-detection component detecting unit detects markers shown in an image. A marker selecting unit selects a predetermined number of markers from among the markers detected by the rough-detection component detecting unit. A specific-detection component detecting unit detects the predetermined number of markers selected by the marker selecting unit in a more specific manner than the rough-detection component detecting unit. An estimating/processing unit estimates positions and postures of the markers based on results of the detection performed by the specific-detection component detecting unit. The present technique can be applied to an image processing device that combines the background of a person captured by a camera with another background image.

Image processing device, image processing method, and program

There is provided an image processing device including a feature point extraction unit that extracts feature points from an input image, a feature amount calculation unit that calculates feature amounts of the feature points, an image processing unit that processes the marker image to transform the feature amounts of non-distinguishing feature points into feature amounts of distinguishing feature points when the feature points extracted from a marker image included in the input image are not distinguishing, and a marker image generation unit that generates a new marker image based on the processing result.
