<p>An image inputting unit (12) inputs a first image and a second image. A matching processor (14) computes the pixel matching between those images, so that a corresponding point is obtained on the second image with respect to lattice points of the mesh taken on the first image. A result thereof is recorded as a corresponding point file. An intermediate image generator (18) generates an intermediate image of the first image and the second image, based on the corresponding point file. Since the corresponding point file is composed by lattice points alone, the amount of the data becomes significantly small, and thereby the implementation and application to various image effects, motion picture compression, on-line commodity introduction, and portable telephones can be easily realized. <IMAGE></p> |
