Abstract
A data processing method processes image data including spatiotemporal locator information which is added. The spatiotemporal locator information represents a spatiotemporal area which is a temporal transition of an object region over a plurality of frames. The method sets a curved surface defined by a periphery of the spatiotemporal area based on the spatiotemporal locator information, calculates time when a reference trajectory crosses the curved surface, determines whether coordinate values of the reference trajectory are inside or outside of the object region in at least one of frames in which the object region exists, and outputs information relating to whether or not the reference trajectory passes the spatiotemporal area.
