META DATA ADDING DEVICE AND META DATA ADDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily search for and extract images which have captured the same region, with a low load. SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a multi-angle information generation device 10 for grouping images captured by a plurality of imaging devices 20, which includes: sensing meta data acquisition means 101 for acquiring sensor information concerning the imaging condition of the imaging devices 20; focus plane meta data derivation means 102 for deriving focus planes containing the images captured by the respective imaging devices 20; grouping judgement means 103 for grouping images according to the positional relationship of the respective focus planes; and multi-angle meta data recording means 104 for recording the grouping results as multi-angle information while correlating them with the aforementioned images.
