IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

原文（中文）

An image processing method, by an image processing apparatus, detects candidates of a scene change point in a moving image, detects candidate frames of a main frame of a scene from frames forming the moving image, and determines the main frame from the candidate frames. Based on a time-series order of the candidates of the scene change point and the main frame, when the main frame does not exist between two candidates of the scene change point that are consecutive in time series, the scene change point with one of the two candidates of the scene change point excluded, and when a candidate of the scene change point exists between two main frames that are consecutive in time series and are similar to each other, the scene change point with the candidate of the scene change point excluded.
