An image signal processing apparatus includes a detecting unit configured to detect a motion vector of a tracking point provided in an object in a moving image, a computing unit configured to compute a reliability parameter representing the reliability of the detected motion vector, a determining unit configured to determine whether the detected motion vector is adopted by comparing the computed reliability parameter with a boundary, an accumulating unit configured to accumulate the reliability parameter, and a changing unit configured to change the boundary on the basis of the accumulated reliability parameters.

Image signal processing apparatus, image signal processing method, and program

An information processing device for tracking the image of a tracking point within a moving image wherein contents, of multiple images which are continuous temporally, are discontinuous temporally, includes: a block-matching unit for performing block matching within the moving image, wherein a processed image and an image prior to the processed image are compared to determine the position of the tracking point within the processed image; an interpolation unit for performing interpolation processing wherein the position of the tracking point within an image not subjected to the block matching, which is an image before or after the processed image within the moving image, is determined as the position of the tracking point within the processed image; and a motion-vector calculating unit for obtaining the motion vector of the tracking point based on the position of the tracking point within the processed image determined by the block-matching unit or interpolation unit.

Information processing device and method, and program

An image processing apparatus for correcting hand shake blur in a moving image includes a generation unit that generates, by setting an image among images constituting the moving image as a reference image and the remaining images as correction target images, a correction amount by which position displacement of a correction target image relative to the reference image is corrected; an estimation unit that estimates a hand shake blur area where hand shake blur relative to the reference image has occurred, on the basis of the correction amount; a detection unit that detects a composition changing operation on the basis of the correction amount; and an updating unit that updates a correction area to an area where hand shake blur in the correction target image relative to the reference image is corrected on the basis of the hand shake blur area and a detection result.
