Abstract
The acquisition unit 52 acquires images. The estimation unit 53 estimates a specific position within a common region between the images acquired by the acquisition unit 52. The calculation unit 54 respectively calculates a difference value between the images within the common region, while shifting the specific position estimated by the estimation unit 53 in the predetermined direction within a predetermined range within the common region. The adjustment unit 57 adjusts the specific position based on the difference values between the images respectively calculated by the calculation unit 54. The generation unit 58 combines the images based on the specific position adjusted by the adjustment unit 57.
Claims12
An image processing device, comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires images;
- an estimation unit that estimates a specific position within a common region between the images acquired by the acquisition unit;
- a first calculation unit that sequentially calculates difference values between the images within the common region, while shifting the specific position estimated by the estimation unit in the predetermined direction within a predetermined range of the common region;
- an adjustment unit that adjusts the specific position based on the difference values sequentially calculated by the first calculation unit;
- and
- a combination unit that combines the images based on the specific position adjusted by the adjustment unit.
An image processing method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring images;
- estimating a specific position within a common region between the images acquired by the acquisition unit;
- sequentially calculating difference values between the images within the common region, while shifting the specific position estimated in the step of estimating in the predetermined direction within a predetermined range of the common region;
- adjusting the specific position based on the difference values between the images sequentially calculated in the step of calculating;
- and
- combining the images based on the specific position adjusted in the step of adjusting.
A recording medium encoded with a computer readable program for enabling a computer to function as:
- an acquisition unit that acquires images;
- an estimation unit that estimates a specific position within a common region between the images acquired by the acquisition unit;
- a calculation unit that sequentially calculates difference values between the images within the common region, while shifting the specific position estimated in the step of estimating in the predetermined direction within a predetermined range of the common region;
- an adjustment unit that adjusts the specific position based on the difference values between the images respectively calculated in the step of calculating;
- and
- a combination unit that combines the images based on the specific position adjusted in the step of adjusting.
