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.

There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that enable display of an advertisement in an appropriate region within a captured image. The image processing apparatus sets, on the basis of density of people in a predetermined region within a captured image, an advertisement display region for superimposition of an advertisement image on the captured image. The present technology is applicable to a television (TV) broadcast system.
