OMNIDIRECTIONAL IMAGE EDITING PROGRAM AND OMNIDIRECTIONAL IMAGE EDITING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An omnidirectional image editing apparatus comprising:
- a manipulation input unit for receiving an input for a manipulation;
a displaying unit for displaying a variety of images; and
a central control unit for making a control in accordance to an omnidirectional image editing program,wherein the central control unit receives at least information of a coordinate and a button input from the manipulation input unit,wherein the central control unit, in a case of a view direction change mode, performs renewing a view direction angle and a view angle based on the input information, doing a screen renewal processing, and outputting an image to the displaying unit,in a case of a drawing mode, selects at least a drawing parameter and makes drawing on an image for drawing based on the drawing parameter,and, in a case of a completion of drawing, performs executing an omnidirectional image renewal processing, deleting the image for drawing, doing a screen renewal processing, and outputting an image to the displaying unit, andwherein a view point does not move in any cases.

Abstract
This invention has an object to provide an image editing program and apparatus allowing users to intuitively produce images covering the omnidirection. In a virtual space, an omnidirectional image is projected according to a coordinate conversion and displayed at a display device 20. For omnidirectional image edition, a view direction and a view angle are changed in the virtual space with a pointing device 30, and under control of a central control unit 11, display of the omnidirectional image in a screen image is renewed to perform two-dimensional drawing to an image for drawing having the same coordinate system as that of the screen image with the pointing device 30 using the screen image as a clue. After the end of drawing, the coordinate conversion is made to the drawing image to project the image at a proper position of the omnidirectional image. The omnidirectional image is thus completed by repeating the steps of view direction changes and drawing.

8. An omnidirectional image editing program in which a computer functions as a central control unit in performing the steps of:
-
receiving input information of at least information of a coordinate and a button from a manipulation input unit; in a case of a view direction change mode, renewing a view direction angle and a view angle based on the input information, doing a screen renewal processing, and outputting an image to a displaying unit; in a case of a drawing mode, selecting at least a drawing parameter and making drawing on an image for drawing based on the drawing parameter; and in a case of a completion of drawing, executing an omnidirectional image renewal processing, deleting the image for drawing, doing the screen renewal processing, and outputting an image to the displaying unit, wherein a view point does not move in any cases. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
