11. The image processing apparatus as recited in claim 10 , wherein the ranges are determined based on sensor data detected at the time the wide-angle moving image was captured.

12. The image processing apparatus as recited in claim 11 , wherein the ranges comprise a plurality of ranges corresponding to a traveling direction of an image capture apparatus that captured the wide-angle moving image.

13. The image processing apparatus as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a display for simultaneously displaying the plurality of cut-out images.

14. The image processing apparatus as recited in claim 10 , further comprising a communication unit for communicating with an imaging apparatus.

15. An imaging apparatus comprising:

a memory for storing image data; and

a processor for controlling simultaneous display of a plurality of cut-out images cut out from respective ranges of a wide-angle moving image, wherein the simultaneous display is automatically performed in response to selection of a thumbnail image representing the wide-angle moving image, the thumbnail image being a still image and having been generated according to at least one portion of the wide-angle moving image that was cut-out from a frame of the wide-angle moving image, wherein the at least one portion of the wide-angle moving image cut out from the frame is determined according to a result of an automatic person detection operation, and wherein display of the plurality of cut-out images comprises display of at least one of the plurality of cut-out images so as to track a person based on a person ID and person location information generated according to the automatic person detection operation.

16. The imaging apparatus as recited in claim 15 , wherein the ranges are determined based on sensor data detected at the time the wide-angle moving image was captured.

17. The imaging apparatus as recited in claim 16 , further comprising a photographing unit to capture the wide-angle moving image, and wherein the ranges comprise a plurality of ranges corresponding to a traveling direction of the imaging apparatus at the time the wide-angle moving image was captured by the photographing unit.

18. The imaging apparatus as recited in claim 15 , further comprising a display for simultaneously displaying the plurality of cut-out images.

19. An image processing method comprising simultaneously displaying a plurality of cut-out images cut out from respective ranges of a wide-angle moving image, wherein the simultaneously displaying is automatically performed in response to selection of a thumbnail image representing the wide-angle moving image, the thumbnail image being a still image and having been generated according to at least one portion of the wide-angle moving image that was cut-out from a frame of the wide-angle moving image, wherein the at least one portion of the wide-angle moving image cut out from the frame is determined according to a result of an automatic person detection operation, and wherein simultaneously displaying the plurality of cut-out images comprises displaying at least one of the plurality of cut-out images so as to track a person based on a person ID and person location information generated according to the automatic person detection operation.
