Abstract
An information processing apparatus (10) includes: a deciding unit configured to decide alignment information to be used for alignment between a first image captured by a first imaging device and a second image captured by a second imaging device having an angle of view wider than an angle of view of the first imaging device, on the basis of imaging-related information related to imaging performed by the first imaging device; and an outputting unit configured to output the alignment information.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing program code, and
- a processor configured to execute the program code to perform operations comprising:
- determining alignment information to be used for alignment between a first image captured from a first imaging perspective having a first angle of view and a second image captured from a second imaging perspective having second angle of view that is different from the first angle of view, on a basis of imaging-related information including at least one of focal length or optical axis deviation,
- wherein the first image is captured through a first lens, and the second image is captured through a second lens,
- wherein the alignment information includes at least one of a depth map corresponding to the first image, an image of a vicinity of focus in the first image, edge information detected from the first image, or the first image itself,
- wherein the alignment information is arranged to guide alignment processing of the second image;
- and
- outputting the alignment information to process the second image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code for image processing, the program code being executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining alignment information to be used for alignment between a first image captured from a first imaging perspective having a first angle of view and a second image captured from a second imaging perspective having second angle of view that is different from the first angle of view, on a basis of imaging-related information including at least one of focal length or optical axis deviation,
- wherein the first image is captured through a first lens, and the second image is captured through a second lens,
- wherein the alignment information includes at least one of a depth map corresponding to the first image, an image of a vicinity of focus in the first image, edge information detected from the first image, or the first image itself,
- wherein the alignment information is arranged to guide alignment processing for the second image;
- and
- outputting the alignment information to process the second image.
