Abstract

A moving image reproducing apparatus is capable of enlarging and reproducing respective objects while keeping relation between the objects in a moving image. A first obtaining unit obtains position information about objects detected by a tracking unit. A calculation unit calculates distances between the objects based on the position information. A first decision unit decides a group to which each of the objects belongs based on a period during which the calculated distance is less than a threshold. A second decision unit decides a division number of a screen of a target frame corresponding to the number of groups. A selection unit selects a layout structure having divided screens corresponding to the division number. A third decision unit decides a layout of the groups to the divided screens of the selected layout structure. A reproduction unit reproduces the moving image while changing the target frame into the decided layout.
