Embodiment Construction

[0047] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0048] figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a camera device as an image processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] Such as figure 2 As shown, the camera device 10 of the present embodiment is configured to obtain a large number of images (in figure 2 16*8=128 among them).

[0050] The camera device 10 is configured to precisely synthesize a large number (for example, several thousand) of images without wrinkle, thereby constituting a so-called panoramic image.

[0051] That is, the camera apparatus 10 has a function of generating a panoramic image from an image imaged by a digital camera on which a solid-state imaging device such as a CMOS image sensor (CIS) is mounted, and which vertically or horizontally Swipe.

[0052] The camera apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment has first to fifth charac...

Abstract

An imaging apparatus includes: an imaging device that images an object image through an optical system; an image signal processing section having a function of combining a plurality of imaged images into a combined image piece using a given initial value, the imaged images being obtained while the imaging apparatus is moved; a position sensor capable of obtaining the position information of the imaging apparatus; a controller that processes the information of the position sensor to perform collaborative control based on the processing results and processing the results of the image signal processing section, wherein the image signal processing section obtains the relative positional relationship of the images via image recognition; and the controller obtains the positional relationship of the images, specifies the absolute positional relationship of the respective images, and supplies the absolute positional relationship to the image signal processing section as the initial value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device having a function of synthesizing a plurality of images together, and to an imaging method and a program thereof. Background technique [0002] In panoramic photography using a camcorder (camera built into a VTR), a digital still camera, etc., when a panorama image is captured while stopping the sweeping motion of the camera in each stage or having a continuous sweeping motion, To prevent blurring of the resulting image, the camera needs to be swept at a low speed. [0003] In the latter case, the shot may require a fast shutter speed. [0004] In this regard, Japanese Patent No. 3928222 proposes a photographing method capable of rapidly swiping a camera while maintaining image resolution. [0005] The technique used in this shooting method is a technique capable of canceling out the distortion in the resulting image by detecting the sweeping direction of the camera and the angular velocity of the sw...
