1. An image recording apparatus comprising:
- memory, and at least one processor coupled to the memory, and the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor cause the image recording apparatus to function as;
a determination unit configured to determine whether an input image is an ordinary rectangular image or a surrounding image depending on black distribution in the input image;
a development unit configured to generate a developed image obtained by developing the surrounding image in a circumferential direction; and
a control unit configured to record the input image on a recording medium that is detachable from the image recording apparatus,wherein when the input image is determined as being the surrounding image, the control unit performs control so that the developed image is generated by the development unit, and is recorded on the recording medium, and when the input image is determined as not being the surrounding image, the control unit performs control so that the input image is recorded on the recording medium without generating the developed image by the development unit, andwherein, in a case where the input image is an input image captured in a firework imaging mode or a nightscape imaging mode, determination by the determination unit is not performed, and the control unit performs control so that the input image is recorded on the recording medium without generating the developed image.

Abstract
There are provided an image recording apparatus and an imaging apparatus. In the image recording apparatus and the imaging apparatus, a control unit identifies whether an input image input by an image input unit is an omnidirectional image or an ordinary image. An image editing unit, based on an omnidirectional image, converts the omnidirectional image into a panoramic image by developing the omnidirectional image in a circumferential direction. Then, the image editing unit records the converted panoramic image on a recording medium. As for an ordinary image, the image editing unit records the input image input by the image input unit on the recording medium.

16. A control method for an image recording apparatus, comprising:
-
determining whether an input image is an ordinary rectangular image or a surrounding image depending on black distribution in the input image; and performing control so that a developed image is generated by developing the surrounding image in a circumferential direction, and recording the developed image on a attachable/detachable recording medium when the input image is determined as being the surrounding image, and performing control so that the developed image is not generated and the input image is recorded on the recording medium when the input image is determined as not being the surrounding image, wherein, in a case where the input image is an input image captured in a firework imaging mode or a nightscape imaging mode, determination of the input image as being the surrounding image is not performed, and performing control so that the input image is recorded on the recording medium without generating the developed image. - View Dependent Claims (17)
