Abstract:
An image sensing apparatus comprising:image pick-up means for sensing an object and obtaining image signals;signal processing means for outputting image signals representing first and second picked-up images of the object sensed at different image view positions in response to a request signal from an image synthesizing device, and confirmation image signals obtained by reducing the first and second picked-up images, to the image synthesizing device;determination means for automatically determining an overlapping state of the confirmation image signals; anddisplaying means for simultaneously displaying, on a monitor screen, the confirmation image signals corresponding to the first and second images in such a manner that the overlapping state of the first and second images is expressed and an image generated by synthesizing the first and second picked-up images,wherein the second picked-up image is updated at a predetermined interval.
