Imaging processing device, imaging system and imaging apparatus including the same, and image processing method

A video display method for a video display device, the video display method comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of captured images from each of a plurality of cameras for each frame;
• generating a plurality of correction images from the plurality of captured images by performing parallax correction in each of the plurality of captured images for each frame, the parallax correction being performed between images captured by adjacent cameras;
• and
• compositing the plurality of correction images to generate a 360° panoramic composite image for each frame,
• wherein in a case where, in the 360° panoramic composite image of a frame, an image of a first object at a first distance is displayed across a boundary portion between a captured image region of one of the plurality of cameras and an adjacent captured image region of a camera adjacent to the one of the plurality of cameras and an image of a second object, which is different from the first object, at a second distance is displayed across the boundary portion in a following frame,
• in the following frame, a first correction image corresponding to the one of the plurality of cameras and a second correction image corresponding to the camera adjacent to the one of the plurality of the cameras are generated by performing parallax correction such that the image of the second object in the boundary portion changes in a direction intersecting the boundary portion so as to be close to a display state in portions other than the boundary portion.

A video image processing device, comprising:

• a processor, and
• a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, including:
• acquiring a plurality of captured images from each of a plurality of cameras for each frame;
• generating a plurality of correction images from the plurality of captured images by performing parallax correction in each of the plurality of captured images for each frame, the parallax correction being performed between images captured by adjacent cameras;
• and
• compositing the plurality of the correction images to generate a 360° panoramic composite image for each frame,
• wherein an amount of the parallax correction of each captured image is limited so that an amount of change from a previous amount of the parallax correction for a previous frame is within a range defined by a predetermined limitation value.
