Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus including: an image selection unit selectively extracting one image data from a plurality of input image data; an image generation unit generating a computer graphics image based on computer graphics description data; a surface designation unit designating a surface of a predetermined polygon using surfaces of polygons among the computer graphics description data as a selection; and an image mapping unit texture-mapping an image according to the image data extracted by the image selection unit onto the surface of the polygon designated by the surface designation unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program for realizing an intuitive operation to issue an instruction to move an object in a virtual three-dimensional space or the like, to an operator who performs operations while looking at an image of the virtual three-dimensional space. The information processing device in this disclosure includes a control unit that controls a CG image generating unit in response to an input of parameters of three axial directions through a three-dimensional operating unit. The control unit changes the amount of control of the CG image generating unit in accordance with the input parameters, to cause an image of the virtual three-dimensional space to vary between where a virtual camera is associated with the three-dimensional operating unit and where an object is associated with the three-dimensional operating unit. This disclosure can be applied to a video editing device for editing broadcast video images.

Abstract: An element choice list designating a plurality of elements among elements included in CG description data is generated in advance and stored. Examples of the element include a virtual object (CG object), a virtual camera, a virtual light, a virtual force field, and a virtual wind. An image generating unit excludes one or more elements other than an element selected by a user's manipulation from among the elements designated by the element choice list from the CG description data and generates a CG image. By manipulating the selection manipulating unit, the user can perform a manipulation of selecting the element from the element choice list and can easily change content of a CG image.
