The three-dimensional panorama picture synthetic device, the image pickup device and three-dimensional panorama picture synthetic method, panningu point to the record

摘要

Multiple images are acquired by continuously capturing images at high speed while panning an image capturing device (10). An optical flow between a reference image (previously captured image) and a currently captured image in a time sequence of imaging is calculated, and, based on this calculated optical flow, an image of an overlap area (i.e. area with disparity) between the images is cut out. Subsequently, the pair of cut images is stored in a memory (48) as a left image and a right image. After that, a left panoramic image is synthesized from multiple left images stored in the memory (48) and, similarly, a right panoramic image is synthesized from multiple right images.
