Abstract
To provide a fast video browsing system in which a fast playback suitable for keeping track of the contents can be performed by adaptively determining the number of skipped pictures according to the motion vector of picture, and displaying the picture after the skipped pictures. In step S1, pictures to be fast viewed are sequentially inputted, and in step S2, n pictures are skipped. In step S3, the picture after the n skipped pictures is displayed. In step S4, using the picture before or after the displayed picture with respect to time, a motion vector at one frame interval is detected, and in step S5, the number n of skipped pictures is determined from the motion vector. As a result, the number of skipped pictures can be adaptively determined by the motion vector of a picture.
