  • Patent number: 11099845
    Abstract: An image edit apparatus designates not only moving objects based on sequential images at the time intervals initially designated by the user, but also moving object, which was shot at shorter time intervals than the initially designated time intervals and corresponds to a freely selected position designated by the user on the locus (trajectory) of the moving objects as analysis targets of the moving objects. Thus, from the continuously shot sequential images/moving image acquired by shooting a moving object, the user designates an image at a freely selected part which is not a part of the regular time intervals, and can utilize the image for analyzing the moving object.
