摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate panorama video from continuous video data made to cope with a change in a camera parameter obtained from a video camera. PSOLUTION: The video camera is controlled on the basis of the camera parameter such as panning, a tilt, and a zoom whose conditions are set in advance, a calibration section extracts each frame image corresponding to video data from the video data on the basis of the camera parameter used for the control, expands the image into a spherical model, corrects the distortion of each frame image on the basis of calibration data stored in advance corresponding to the position of the video camera estimated from the spherical model, a strip processing section generates strips for configuring a panorama image from each frame image whose distortion is corrected, and a mosaic composite section splices the strips to generate panorama video data resulting from compositing the panorama images.
