IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an imaging section for capturing images in continuous succession by imaging a subject together with a marker, the captured images constituting moving images;
a displaying image producing section for producing a displaying image on the basis of the captured image each time the image is captured, the displaying image being for making the motion of the subject continuous in displaying the moving images;
an additional information reference image producing section for producing an additional information reference image on the basis of the captured image each time the image is captured, the additional information reference image representing the subject with less blurs and being used to acquire additional information that is to be overlaid on the displaying image;
a reading section for reading the marker on the additional information reference image;
an additional information recording section having additional information recorded therein in association with individual markers;
an additional information acquiring section for retrieving and acquiring additional information that is associated with the marker read by the reading section from among a plurality of additional information recorded in the additional information recording section;
an additional information overlaid image producing section for producing an additional information overlaid image which has the additional information, acquired by the additional information acquiring section, overlaid on the displaying image in the area of the marker; and
a displaying device for displaying the additional information overlaid image.

Abstract
An AR taking image producer produces an AR taking image of a current frame. A displaying image producer produces a displaying image of the current frame and first to fourth interpolative displaying images. An image pattern reader reads a marker on the AR taking image. CPU retrieves AR moving image that is associated with the marker from an AR image memory. An AR image overlying section produces first to fourth interpolative AR images, and overlies the images on the areas of the marker.

14. An image processing method comprising:
-
an imaging step for capturing images in continuous succession by imaging a subject together with a marker, the captured images constituting moving images; a displaying image producing step for producing a displaying image on the basis of the captured image each time the image is captured, the displaying image being for making the motion of the subject continuous in displaying the moving images; an additional information reference image producing step for producing an additional information reference image on the basis of the captured image each time the image is captured, the additional information reference image representing the subject with less blurs and being used to acquire additional information that is to be overlaid on the displaying image; a reading step for reading the marker on the additional information reference image; an additional information acquiring step for retrieving and acquiring additional information that is associated with the marker read by the reading step from an additional information recording section in which additional information is recorded in association with individual markers; an additional information overlaid image producing step for producing an additional information overlaid image which has the additional information, acquired by the additional information acquiring step, overlaid on the displaying image in the area of the marker; and a displaying step for displaying the additional information overlaid image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
