Abstract

The invention provides camera, image composition method and procedures, which has effect that it can represent broad sense such as panorama without preparing specific wide-angle lens and the like, and can represent the movement of the object in the broad background image. The camera has: a dynamic image recording portion (9a), which records continuous pick-up image frames; an analogy extraction portion (5c), which judges and extracts the common part images of the continuous pick-up image frames; a composition portion (7a), which composes images of a plurality of common portions to obtain the background image; and a dynamic image composition portion (7b), which composes the continuous pick-up image frames in sequence on the background image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a camera, an image synthesizing method, and a program, and more specifically, to a camera, an image synthesizing method, and a program capable of synthesizing an image as wide as a panorama from a moving image. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the popularization of digital images, various image processing technologies have begun to be provided, enabling images to be enjoyed in previously unimagined ways. Since the camera is also realized as a digital image, moving image photography can be easily performed. In addition, with digitalization of images, it is easy to enlarge and display a part of the image by digital zooming for distant subjects. Digital zoom is used to narrow the direction of field of view, and conversely, the camera is also equipped with technology to expand the shooting range. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an imaging device that combines divided images to obtain a...
