Abstract: A generation unit configured to generate a combined image obtained by combining an image captured in a case where an image capturing direction is moved in a first direction from an image capturing start, and an image captured in a case where the image capturing direction is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to a position of the image capturing start, and a recording control unit configured to perform control to, in a case where the image capturing direction is moved in the first direction before the image capturing direction is moved in the second direction, then according to an end condition for ending image capturing being satisfied, record the combined image obtained by the generation unit combining the image captured in the case where the image capturing direction is moved in the first direction are included.

Abstract: A system control unit sets at least one of a non-overlapped area in which an nth image and an (n+1)st image do not overlap and a low contrast area of the (n+1)st image as an in valid area that is not used for misalignment detection of the (n+1)st image. Then, the system control unit sets alignment small blocks for a motion vector search in only an area excluding the invalid area in the overlapped area in which two combining target images overlap.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus sets exposure states to make the exposure states different from each other while an image sensor captures two or more adjacent images among a plurality of images. A first synthesis is performed on the images of different exposure states among the plurality of images to generate a plurality of first synthesized images having a wider dynamic range than a dynamic range of the images of different exposure states. A second synthesis is performed using the plurality of first synthesized images to generate a second image having a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of the plurality of first synthesized images. One of the plurality of images is used in the synthesis of different first synthesized images, and combinations of the images used in the first synthesis are different in adjacent first synthesized images.

Abstract: A retrieval site (S1) comprises a retrieval server (S1a), a retrieval database (S1b) and a registered fast-food shop database (S1c). Based on a designation entry of a merchandise genre and a destination from an information terminal (T) having connected with the retrieve site (S1), the retrieval server (S1a) retrieves fast-food shops (F), having a service providing area including the designated destination, from the retrieval database (S1b), and displays the retrieved list of the corresponding shops on the information terminal. After a fast-food shop (F) is selected from the list, the retrieval server (S1a) retrieves data of an order form (D) from the registered fast-food shop database (S1c), and displays it on the information terminal. When an order is made based on the order form (D), the order contents are sent to the selected shop.
