Abstract:
An image processing device comprises receiving means operable to receive, from a camera, a captured image corresponding to an image of a scene captured by the camera. The scene contains at least one object. The device comprises determining means operable to determine a distance between the object within the scene and a reference position defined with respect to the camera, and generating means operable to detect a position of the object within the captured image, and to generate a modified image from the captured image based on image features within the captured image which correspond to the object in the scene. The generating means is operable to generate the modified image by displacing the position of the captured object within the modified image with respect to the determined position of the object within the captured image by an object offset amount which is dependent on the distance between the reference position and the object in the scene so that, when the modified image and the captured image are viewed together as a pair of images on a display, the captured object appears to be positioned at a predetermined distance from the display.
