Title:
IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE AND IMAGE GENERATING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/069048
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, a posture detection unit (60) detects three-axis posture information of a portable apparatus using at least one of a three-axis geomagnetism sensor, a three-axis acceleration sensor (64), and a three-axis gyro sensor (62) embedded in the portable apparatus. A pan/elevation angle detection unit (70) detects the pan angle and elevation angle of a camera embedded in the portable apparatus on the basis of the posture information detected by the posture detection unit (60). A divided image generation unit (20) generates a divided image resulting from associating the pan angle and tilt angle detected by the pan/tilt angle detection unit to an image captured the camera embedded in the portable apparatus. A panoramic image generation unit (30) generates a combined image by combining a plurality of divided images that differ in pan angle or tilt angle.
