Image-processing apparatus for indicating a range within an input image, processing method, and medium

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which, when executed by a computer comprising a processor and a memory, causes the computer to perform an image processing method for indicating a range, which is displayed by a device or a system comprising a display area for displaying an image, within an input image, the method comprising:

• obtaining information that represents a three-dimensional arrangement of the display area that corresponds to a plurality of flat screens;
• obtaining input image data representing the input image captured by an imaging apparatus to be displayed in the display area;
• obtaining an imaging condition of the input image data captured by the imaging apparatus;
• obtaining a viewpoint position for viewing the display area;
• identifying the range, which is displayed in the display area, within the input image based on (a) the input image data, (b) the information, (c) the imaging condition, and (d) the viewpoint position;
• and
• outputting, as information that represents the identified range, image data generated by superimposing a marker representing the identified range on the input image data,
• wherein a shape of the identified range depends on the three-dimensional arrangement of the display area, and
• wherein the marker indicates (a) an area of the input image data, outside the marker, that would be cut off and thus not displayed in the display area that corresponds to a plurality of flat screens and (b) an area of the input image data, inside the marker, that would be displayed in the display area that corresponds to a plurality of flat screens.
