IMAGE REPRODUCING DEVICE, AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently reproduce held image information in building a walk- through virtual space, using IBR technique. SOLUTION: Each of plural panorama images, corresponding to plural viewpoints, is compressed for each of partial images 221-226 obtained by parting the panorama image 211 at a specified image angle to be stored as File-1 to File-6. The panorama image 211 corresponds to a image angle range wider than the display image angle of the image by a display part. The partial image including the image to be regenerated is selected, based on information of a viewpoint position and an eye direction and the display image angle, and the image corresponding to the viewpoint position and the eye direction is regenerated from the selected partial image to be displayed.
