Abstract:
[Object] To make it possible to generate a panoramic image that offers a stronger sense of presence and immersion to a user without imposing too heavy a load on a user.[Solution] Alignment determination processing (2) of determining whether or not other captured image data than captured panoramic image data is capable of aligning with the captured panoramic image data in a manner that a captured object remains consistent between the captured panoramic image data and the other captured image data, and image link processing (3) of linking, to the captured panoramic image data, the other captured image data determined to be capable of aligning with the captured panoramic image data are performed. In order to integrate a captured image such as a moving image and a high resolution image other than a captured panoramic image and to generate a captured panoramic image that offers a strengthened sense of presence and immersion, a user only has to shoot a panoramic image and another captured image at substantially the same image capturing spot. Thus, it is possible to generate a panoramic image that offers a stronger sense of presence and immersion to a user without imposing too heavy a load on a user.
