Abstract:
1. An image processing device adapted to display at least part of two-dimensional (2D) image on a display, comprising: a storage device configured to store hierarchical data comprising image data that are representations of the 2D image in different resolutions and that are hierarchized in order of resolution; a memory configured to store a scenario definition file having a designated area in the hierarchical data in a virtual space defined by an image plane of the 2D image and an axis of resolution, the designated area defining a specific region in the 2D image and a resolution; an input information acquisition unit configured to acknowledge a user request related to a change in a displayed part of the 2D image, the user request being a directive to move the displayed part of the 2D image to a user-defined portion of the 2D image via movement of the displayed part of the 2D image at least one of upward, downward, leftward, rightward, inward and outward irrespective of the user's physical, geographic position; and a displayed image processing unit configured to move the displayed part of the 2D image automatically to the designated area of the scenario definition file, instead of the user-defined portion of the 2D image of the user request, when the user request indicates a change of the displayed part of the 2D image to the user-defined portion of the 2D image that is within a predetermined range from the designated area, and the displayed image processing unit operating to move the displayed part of the 2D image to the designated area in the virtual space instead of the user-defined portion of the 2D image of the user request.
