Abstract
An apparatus synthesizes a first image and a second image to obtain a synthesized image. The apparatus has a storage device and a processor. The storage device stores image data and attribute data for the image data such as data concerning a main light source and an auxiliary light source for the synthesized image, an anteroposterior positional relationship between the first and second images in the synthesized image, etc. The processor image-processes the first and second images on the basis of the attribute data to synthesize these images.
Claims19
An apparatus which synthesizes a first image and a second image to obtain a synthesized image, comprising:
- a storage device which stores attribute data representing image synthesis conditions, said attribute data including data concerning a main light source for the synthesized image;
- and
- a processor which image-processes the first and second images on the basis of said attribute data to thereby synthesize these images.
A method for synthesizing a first image and a second image to obtain a synthesized image, comprising the steps of:
- setting data concerning a main light source for the synthesized image;
- and
- image-processing the first and second images on the basis of said data concerning the main light source to thereby synthesize these images.
