MULTIPLE VIEWPOINT IMAGING CONTROL DEVICE, MULTIPLE VIEWPOINT IMAGING CONTROL METHOD AND CONPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A multiple viewpoint imaging control device comprising:
- an imaging section that images an image;
a moving image display section that displays on a display screen a moving image for determining an imaging image angle;
a ranging section that performs provisional imaging of a specific subject included in the moving image displayed at the moving image display section, and that measures at least a distance to the specific subject;
an acquisition section that, when imaging is to be performed from a plurality of imaging viewpoints, acquires a convergence angle between the imaging viewpoints;
a viewpoint number setting section that sets a number of viewpoints, including at least an imaging start point at which imaging is initially performed and an imaging end point at which imaging is finally performed;
a position information computation section that computes position information including a movement amount of a viewpoint from the imaging start point at which imaging is initially performed to the imaging end point at which imaging is finally performed, on the basis of data of the convergence angle and data of the distance from the ranging point to the specific subject measured by the ranging section, such that a viewpoint at the position of provisional imaging is at the middle of the movement amount; and
a notification section that, on the basis of the position information computed by the position information computation section, executes a notification prompting that a viewpoint be moved from the ranging point to the imaging start point and a notification prompting that a viewpoint be moved from the imaging start point to the imaging end point.

Abstract
When images from multiple viewpoints are required, respective imaging locations of the multiple viewpoints are specified and imaging operations themselves may be executed simply. When image data is to be imaged from plural viewpoints that are elements for generating a three-dimensional form of a specific subject, a user is appropriately guided. Messages prompting ranging directly in front of the specific subject, movement from the ranging position to an imaging start point, and movement from the imaging start point to an imaging end point are displayed in a message display region of an LCD monitor or the like. In addition, from analysis of a through-image, positions of a digital camera are automatically identified and automatic imaging is carried out on the basis of movements of feature points.
