IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM CARRYING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing method comprising:
- extracting edges from each of a plurality of original images, thereby obtaining edge images;
extracting straight lines from the edge images, thereby obtaining line images;
assuming extensions of the straight lines of the line images and setting vanishing points based at least in part on the extensions; and
trimming the plurality of original images so that positions of the vanishing points in the respective original images mutually match, thereby obtaining final images.

Abstract
An image processing method includes the steps of extracting edges from each of a plurality of original images, thereby obtaining edge images; extracting straight lines from the edge images, thereby obtaining line images; assuming extensions of the straight lines constituting the line images and setting vanishing points on the basis of the extensions; and trimming the plurality of original images so that positions of the vanishing points in the respective original images mutually match, thereby obtaining final images.
