Provided is an image data processing method for preventing decrease of a decoding processing capability of an image processing device even if the image processing device is included in a game machine on which many moving pictures having low resolutions are displayed. First, decoding processing is designed (step S1). For example, it is designed in such a manner that a moving picture X is singly processed and that a moving picture Y and a moving picture Z having low vertical resolutions can be combined together to be subjected to decoding processing. Subsequently, each of the moving picture X, the moving picture Y, and the moving picture Z is encoded (step S2). Next, encoded data of the moving picture X is singly decoded, and the moving picture X is restored and displayed on a display unit of the image processing device at a predetermined timing. Meanwhile, respective pieces of encoded data of the moving picture Y and the moving picture Z are combined together and are decoded depending on respective display timings, and the moving picture X and the moving picture Y are restored and further separated from each other to be displayed on the display unit at the respective timings (step S3).

An image processing apparatus comprises a generation unit configured to generate an image file of captured image data, the generation unit generating the image file with estimation results related to the image data added thereto as metadata, wherein the generation unit generates the metadata so that a first estimation result and a second estimation result are distinguishable from each other, the first estimation result being based on data that is included in the image file, the second estimation result being based on data that is not included in the image file.

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, disclosed is an electronic device including a processor and an image sensor module. The image sensor module includes an image sensor in which sensor pixels are arranged and a control circuit electrically connected to the image sensor and connected to the processor. The control circuit is configured to obtain raw image data including pieces of image pixel data, in which first pixel data corresponding to a first attribute and second pixel data corresponding to a second attribute are arranged in a first array, to identify rearrangement information predetermined based on the first attribute and the second attribute, to change the array of the pieces of image pixel data into a second array based on the rearrangement information such that at least part of the first pixel data is arranged adjacent and at least part of the second pixel data is arranged adjacent, to generate compression data obtained by compressing the pieces of image pixel data whose array is changed into the second array, and to transmit the compression data to the processor. The processor is configured to restore the raw image data. Other various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.

The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for categorizing motion events. In one aspect, a method is performed at a camera device. The method includes: (1) capturing a plurality of video frames via the image sensor, the plurality of video frames corresponding to a scene in a field of view of the camera; (2) sending the video frames to the remote server system in real-time; (3) while sending the video frames to the remote server system in real-time: (a) determining that motion has occurred within the scene; (b) in response to determining that motion has occurred within the scene, characterizing the motion as a motion event; and (c) generating motion event metadata for the motion event; and (4) sending the generated motion event metadata to the remote server system concurrently with the video frames.

To securely create an electronic album of photos taken of various keys owned by a person regardless of types of the keys, the electronic key photo album (10) includes a dummy photo generator (11) that cuts out a key image from a photo of a key taken together with a background of the key and complements the photo with a dummy image to generate a dummy photo; a photo storage controller (12) that stores the dummy photo in a first storage (101) together with metadata of the photo of the key and stores the key image in a second storage (102) in association with the dummy photo together with a relative position of the key image in the photo of the key; a photo restorer (13) that reads out a dummy photo from the first storage, reads out, from the second storage, a key image associated with the dummy photo thus read out and a relative position of the key image thus read out, and pastes the key image thus read out to the relative position thus read out in the dummy photo thus read out to restore an original photo of a key in the key image thus read out, and a photo forwarder (14) that transfers the original photo of the key to a display device.
