Abstract: A picture processor including a picture-deformation-information input section for inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of a picture; a decoding section for inputting encoded picture data of the picture, inputting the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input section, decoding the picture data every portion of the picture in accordance with the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction, and moreover decoding the whole picture data independently of the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction; a reference picture generation section for generating a reference picture enlarged or contracted for each portion of the picture by using a picture in which the whole picture data is decoded supplied from the decoding section, the information for the degree of enlargement/contraction of each portion of the picture from the picture-deformation-information input se

Abstract: An apparatus comprises an object generation unit for generating an object based on three-dimensional object data externally input, an object position determination unit that moves the generated object according to a user input, and thereby determines an object position, a view point position determination unit that moves a view point according to the user input and thereby determines a view point position, a distance calculation unit for calculating a distance from the object position and the view point position, a frame rate determination unit for determining a frame rate corresponding to the calculated distance on the basis of a set table or formula, and a frame rate control unit and a moving image generation unit for reproducing the moving image with the frame rate of moving image data externally input reduced.
