ABSTRACT:
In order to obtain a field angle wider than that determined by a lens of a photographing apparatus by means of image processing, a given image is selected as a reference image from a still image train acquired by photographing an object by time-serially changing the visual point position and direction, a procedure for coordinate-transforming specific points in the respective images onto a two-dimensional coordinate system identical to that of the reference image is derived, a two-dimensional space is Voronoi-divided in correspondence with the specific points based on the derived procedure, the respective images are coordinate-transformed using a coordinate transform procedure for transforming the respective images to the reference images, and the coordinate information of each of the coordinate-transformed images is inserted in one of the Voronoi domains including the specific points of the respective images.
