An image capture device (100) that converts the viewpoint of an input video image includes: a viewpoint selecting unit (501) that selects a viewpoint parameter of a desired start viewpoint and a viewpoint parameter of a desired end viewpoint; a viewpoint parameter interpolating unit (502) that generates an interpolated viewpoint parameter by interpolating the viewpoint parameter of the start viewpoint and the viewpoint parameter of the end viewpoint; and a viewpoint conversion unit (503) that generates and outputs a viewpoint-converted video image by sequentially performing a viewpoint conversion on the input video image, based on the interpolated viewpoint parameter sequentially generated by the viewpoint parameter interpolating unit (502), the viewpoint conversion unit thereby presenting the viewpoint-converted video image in which the viewpoint is gradually switched between the start viewpoint and the end viewpoint. With this structure, smooth viewpoint switching can be performed, without an increase in storage capacity.
