PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform image switching for coupling images with a small amount of processing without using map information.SOLUTION: Feature information generation means 111 generates feature information per image unit on the basis of a plurality of images and additional information including physical positions and photographing directions associated with respective image units in the plurality of images. Switching point detection means 112 detects switching points being image units allowing image switching, from the plurality of images in association with the feature information on the basis of a prescribed detection condition. Coupling detection means 113 generates coupling information for coupling two switching points on the basis of feature information corresponding to switching points and consistency of the detection condition under which the switching points are detected. Route image generation means 114 generates a movement image between two desired physical points by extracting playback sections from a plurality of images on the basis of the detected switching points and the generated coupling information and determining a playback sequence. |
