Patent Searching and Data


Title:
IMAGING APPARATUS AND PANORAMIC IMAGE DATA GENERATION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012044339
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an imaging apparatus capable of obtaining natural panoramic image data if an object includes a low frequency pattern, when performing panoramic imaging having an unknown moving apparatus amount between images.

The imaging apparatus having a panoramic imaging function includes: an imaging device 2 for imaging a visible light image of the object; an imaging device 3 for simultaneously imaging an infrared image of the object imaged by the imaging device 2; and a digital signal processing unit 9 for generating panoramic image data by synthesizing a plurality of visible-light-imaged image data obtained from consecutive imaging by the imaging device 2. The digital signal processing unit 9 has a function of calculating the moving amount of the imaging apparatus 100 between two times of imaging to obtain the two visible-light-imaged image data to be synthesized, using the two infrared-imaged image data simultaneously obtained from the imaging device 3 at the two times of imaging, so as to perform first synthesis processing to synthesize the two visible-light-imaged image data, based on the calculated moving amount.
