INTERACTIVE IMAGE ACQUISITION DEVICE

摘要

A specified object is tracked so as to provide a viewer an image of realism in real time. A plurality of spatially movable cameras (13) are arranged so as to image a plurality of directions so that images captured by at least two imaging elements are partially superimposed. A plurality of images captured by the cameras (13) are combined to create a spherical image Q1. A positional relationship between an object specified from the plurality of images and the spherical image Q1 is acquired and the object is arranged substantially at the center of the spherical image Q1 according to the positional relationship, so as to provide a tracking image by focusing the object in the spherical image Q1 for tracking.
