<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress calculation cost while generating an intermediate image without distortion by using two original images picked up from different visual points. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus includes: a straight edge detection section that detects a straight edge in at least one of first and second original images obtained by capturing the identical object from two different viewpoints; a first morphing processing section that performs a first morphing process, which does not include parallelization on the first and second original images to generate a first intermediate image seen from a virtual viewpoint between the two viewpoints; a distortion determination section that determines whether or not an edge of the object in the first intermediate image that corresponds to the straight edge detected is distorted; and a second morphing processing section that, if the edge is distorted, performs a second morphing process, which includes parallelization on the first and second original images to generate a second intermediate image seen from the virtual viewpoint. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
