Title:
IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2018011302
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a panoramic image with a higher sense of presence/immersion without pressing an excessive burden on a user.SOLUTION: An image processing device performs: alignment discrimination processing (2) for discriminating whether panoramic picked-up image data and the other picked-up image data other than the panoramic picked-up image data can be aligned in such a manner that consistency of an imaging subject is secured; and image link processing (3) for linking the other picked-up image data for which it is discriminated that the alignment with the panoramic picked-up image data is possible, with the panoramic picked-up image data. For example, when providing a panoramic picked-up image attaining improvement in a sense of presence/immersion by merging the other picked-up image such as a video image or a high-resolution image than the panoramic picked-up image, it is enough for a user only to take the panoramic picked-up image and the other picked-up image in the substantially same imaging location. Therefore, the panoramic image that further improves the sense of presence/immersion can be provided without pressing an excessive burden on the user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
