Patent Images

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

  • a correction-data reading section for reading pre-stored correction data to be used for correcting two images taken in such a way that their visual fields overlap each other and at least one of their positions, their angles and their zoom ratios are different from each other or for reading correction data computed by carrying out processing;

    an image correcting section for correcting a taken image by making use of said correction data read by said correction-data reading section;

    a corresponding-area computing section for computing corresponding areas selected from the inside of each of two images corrected by said image correcting section;

    a coincidence-degree computing section for computing at least one of a degree of coincidence of image patterns extracted from said corresponding areas, a degree of coincidence of coordinates of said corresponding areas and a degree of coincidence of gaps between said corresponding areas;

    a camera-parameter computing section for computing camera parameters on the basis of a coincidence degree computed by said coincidence-degree computing section; and

    a correction-data storing section for storing said camera parameters computed by said camera-parameter computing section or correction data based on said camera parameters.
