<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a proper panorama background image without influence of moving objects, even if an input image sequence contains not a scene where a moving object passes but a scene where the moving object is piled up as the last one. Ž<P>SOLUTION: An image conversion relation calculator 12 calculates a conversion relation between two images chosen from a photographed image sequence. Using the conversion relation, a pre-priority panoramic image generator 14 generates a pre-priority panoramic image, where priority is given to a pixel value of an image photographed before in time. A post-priority panoramic image generator 16 generates a post-priority panoramic image, where priority is given to a pixel value of an image photographed behind in time, using the conversion relation. When the pre-priority panoramic image is different from the post-priority panoramic image, a panoramic image candidate integrator 18 adopts the pixel area of the post-priority panoramic image for a part before in time and the pixel area of the pre-priority panoramic image for a part behind in time, as a panorama background image.
