  • Patent number: 8189953
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a thinning-out section generating thinned-out line data of thinned-out data constituted by a plurality of the thinned-out line data, the thinned-out data being obtained by thinning out wide-field image data with distortion captured using a wide-angle lens, and sequentially outputting the thinned-out line data at every predetermined timing, a switching section performing switching from an output of the wide-field image data to an output of the thinned-out line data in response to the predetermined timing, and a buffer temporarily storing the wide-field image data and the thinned-out data constituted by the plurality of thinned-out data outputted after the switching.

  • Patent number: 7542668
    Abstract: A photographic device equipped with a camera capable of photographing a 360-degree all-round image at a time includes a memory for recording the all-round image photographed by the camera, a control unit for specifying a predetermined range within the all-round image, extracting an image of the predetermined range from the memory to display the image, and for extracting and displaying the image within the all-round image recorded in the memory by changing a position of the predetermined range, thereby displaying the image as if the predetermined range moves in a circumferential direction, and a display unit for displaying at least the image of the predetermined range.
