Abstract: An information processing device, method and computer program product provide mechanisms for making a moving photograph. The information processing apparatus includes a moving area detector configured to detect a moving area in images of a processing target image group. The processing target image group includes a base image and a plurality of reference images. A display controller causes the base image to be displayed along with each of the plurality of reference images in succession.

Abstract: A tracking-point detection apparatus includes a background motion vector detection unit, a background image generation unit, a gate setting unit, a tracking-point motion detection unit, and a tracking-point determination unit. The background motion vector detection unit is configured to detect motion vectors for pixels in a frame included in a moving image and to detect, in accordance with the detected motion vectors, a background motion vector representing the motion of a background image of the moving image. The background image generation unit is configured to calculate and update a pixel value of a pixel in a background frame, which is a frame of a background image, stored in a memory by performing motion compensation on a pixel in the frame in accordance with the detected background motion vector. The gate setting unit is configured to set a gate in accordance with data of the background frame stored in the memory.
