Imaging apparatus for correcting a distortion of an image
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
- an area acquisition section which acquires an area from which an image is to be extracted, based on an input image acquired by shooting, a stage and an original placed on the stage, along an oblique direction;
a storage section which prestores information indicating a figure of a known shape;
an extraction section which extracts from the input image the image corresponding to the area acquired by the area acquisition section;
a parameter acquisition section which acquires a parameter for correcting the image extracted by the extraction section to an image of the original as seen from the front; and
a correction section which corrects the image extracted by the extraction section to the image of the original as seen from the front using the parameter acquired by the parameter acquisition section, wherein the area acquisition section is configured to;
(i) acquire straight lines representing a boundary between an area of the input image occupied by the stage and an image area of the input image occupied by the original, (ii) upon acquisition of the straight lines representing the boundary, acquire an area surrounded by the straight lines or the figure of the known shape to acquire the area from which the image is to be extracted; and
(iii) when the straight lines representing the boundary are not acquired, acquire the area from which the image is to be extracted based on the prestored information indicating the figure of the known shape stored in the storage section.

Abstract
A document camera (1) detects a figure of a known shape on a stage (13) and acquires the coordinates of the figure, and acquires image processing area and projection correction parameter. The document camera (1) extracts image data of the image processing area from image data acquired by shooting the stage (13) and an original (4), and performs projection correction on the image data using the projection correction parameter. Further, the document camera (1) performs rotation correction on image data undergone projection correction. Furthermore, the document camera (1) performs zoom correction on image data undergone rotation correction, and generates output input image.
