1. An image generating apparatus for generating an output image based on an input panorama image, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory including a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;

    input an output range parameter and a correction parameter, the output range parameter designating an output range in the panorama image, the correction parameter designating a correction part that is to be masked in the output image,mask the correction part designated by the correction parameter in the output image,calculate a similarity between the correction part and peripheral pixels and mask the correction part in the output image based on the similarity and the peripheral pixels,generate the output image from the output range of the panorama image, the output range being designated by the output range parameter, and the output image is the panorama image in which the correction part is deleted through the correction,set a first projection surface indicating a surface of a range to be output to the output image,set a second projection surface formed by moving the first projection surface to an area indicated by the output range parameter,set first coordinates on the first projection surface,set second coordinates, which correspond to the first coordinates, on the second projection surface,set a sphere inscribed in the first projection surface and the second projection surface, andcalculate a distance between the first coordinates on the first projection surface and the second coordinates on the second projection surface based on an arc length calculated based on a radius of the sphere and a length of one side of the first projection surface.
