Abstract
An image processing device comprises: a tracking area setting unit that sets a tracking area in an input moving image obtained by photographing an object; a following feature point setting unit that detects a feature point that exhibits a motion in correlation with the motion of the tracking area and sets the detected feature point as a following feature point; a motion detection unit that detects movement over time of the following feature point within the input image; and a clip area setting unit that sets a clip area of an image to be employed when a partial image including the tracking area is clipped out of the input image for either recording or displaying or both recording and displaying, and that sets a size and a position of the clip area on the basis of a motion detection result obtained by the motion detection unit.
