Abstract
There is provided a subject emphasizing device that includes a visible-light moving image acquisition unit that acquires a moving image including a subject and a background, and a subject region extraction unit that extracts a region of the subject from the moving image. Then, a background drawing unit draws background information, in a region other than the region of the subject in the moving image. An effect application unit applies a visual effect to the region of the subject, based on an intensity of the visual effect determined by an effect intensity calculation unit according to a distance from a camera to the subject. A video compositing unit combines the region of the subject to which the visual effect has been applied by the effect application unit with the background information drawn by the background drawing unit, generating a composite video.
