Claim 7:
8. A multi-eye photographing method using a multi-eye photographing camera head which is provided with a single lens and a single image element, and is used for multi-eye photography, comprising:
acquiring a partial image photographing prescribed part in a multi-eye photographing range from the imaging element,
correcting distortions of the partial image using correction parameters, which is determined according to the attaching position of the corresponding multi-eye photographing camera head and is used to correct distortions of the partial image, output the partial image in which the distortions have been corrected to an image processing device which is separated from the multi-eye photographing camera heads as data for whole image that constitute part of a whole image, and makes the image processing device synthesize the data for whole image as the whole image,
extracting a portion of the partial image of the corresponding one of the corresponding multi-eye photographing camera head based on the enlargement information,
receiving, from the image processing device, an instruction to display an enlarged image of a part of the whole image that has been synthesized,
acquiring, from the image processing device, enlargement information specifying the part of the whole image to be enlarged according to the instruction,
determining whether the part of the whole image to be enlarged is included in the partial image, and
when it is determined that the part of the whole image to be enlarged is included in the partial image, extracting a corresponding portion of the part of the whole image to be enlarged from the partial image based on the enlargement information, and outputting the extracted portion of the partial image as data for enlarged image to the image processing for synthesizing the outputted extracted portion of the partial image to form an enlarged image of the part of the whole image.
