Abstract

A simulation device includes a captured image generating unit that generates a captured image captured by an imaging unit disposed virtually at a predetermined view point in a 3D model, the captured image being generated by using the data of the 3D model, a dividing unit that divides the generated captured image into image regions in a predetermined polygonal shape, a computing unit that computes curvatures of the image regions based on the data thereof, an adjusting unit that adjusts sizes of mesh elements on a virtual plane disposed virtually at a predetermined distance from the view point, each of the sizes of the plurality of mesh elements being adjusted by using corresponding each one of the computed curvatures of the image regions, and a wide-angle image generating unit that generates a wide-angle image imaged through a wide-angle lens used in the imaging unit by applying aberration data of the wide-angle lens to the captured image generated in the captured image generating unit according to the adjusted sizes of the mesh elements on the virtual plane.
