Abstract
An image capturing device includes: an imaging device to capture a first image; and circuitry to receive a second image from another image capturing device, the second image being captured with the another image capturing device and having an angle of view wider than that of the first image, and control a display to sequentially display the first image, and an image of an area of the second image that is similar to the first image, the image similar to the first image having the degree of similarity to the first image that is equal to or greater than a threshold.
Claims19
An image capturing device comprising:
- an imager to capture a first image;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- receive a second image from another image capturing device, the second image being captured with the another image capturing device and having an angle of view wider than that of the first image,
- store predetermined area information on a predetermined area of the second image that is similar to the first image, the predetermined area information including a center point and an angle of view of the predetermined area,
- calculate display time of an image of the predetermined area based on the predetermined area information,
- and
- control a display to sequentially display the first image, and the image of the predetermined area of the second image that is similar to the first image for the calculated display time while moving the predetermined area throughout the second image, the image similar to the first image having a degree of similarity to the first image that is equal to or greater than a threshold,
- wherein the image of the predetermined area of the second image has a same aspect ratio as the first image and constitutes entire content of display on the display.
A method of controlling display of an image, comprising:
- obtaining a first image and a second image, the second image having an angle of view wider than that of the first image, the second image having been captured by a second image capturing device different from a first image capturing device that has captured the first image;
- storing predetermined area information on a predetermined area of the second image that is similar to the first image, the predetermined area information including a center point and an angle of view of the predetermined area;
- calculating display time of an image of the predetermined area based on the predetermined area information;
- and
- controlling a display to sequentially display the first image, and the image of the predetermined area of the second image that is similar to the first image for the calculated display time while moving the predetermined area throughout the second image, the image similar to the first image having the degree of similarity to the first image that is equal to or greater than a threshold,
- wherein the image of the predetermined area of the second image has a same aspect ratio as the first image and constitutes entire content of display on the display.
A non-transitory recording medium which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform a method of controlling display of an image, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first image and a second image, the second image having an angle of view wider than that of the first image, the second image having been captured by a second image capturing device different from a first image capturing device that has captured the first image;
- storing predetermined area information on a predetermined area of the second image that is similar to the first image, the predetermined area information including a center point and an angle of view of the predetermined area;
- calculating display time of an image of the predetermined area based on the predetermined area information;
- and
- controlling a display to sequentially display the first image, and the predetermined image of the area of the second image that is similar to the first image while moving the predetermined area throughout the second image, the image similar to the first image having the degree of similarity to the first image that is equal to or greater than a threshold,
- wherein the image of the predetermined area of the second image has a same aspect ratio as the first image and constitutes entire content of display on the display.
