Abstract:
1. A head mounted display having a display unit for displaying an image in front of eyes of an observer, comprising: input hardware sequentially inputting images of frames; a CPU carrying out functions of a detection unit, a calculation unit, a display control unit, a determination unit, and a control unit; the detection unit detecting an error image region in an image of a frame of interest input by the input unit hardware; the calculation unit calculating a size of the detected error image region if the error image region has been detected; and the display control unit causing the display unit to display the image of the frame of interest when the detection unit has been detected no error image regions within the image of the frame of interest, wherein the display control unit includes the determination unit determining whether the calculated size of the detected error image region within the image of the frame of interest is smaller than a predetermined threshold and determining whether the error image region has been detected by the detection unit within a frame immediately before the frame of interest, when the detection unit has detected the error image region within the image of the frame of interest, and the control unit causing the display unit to display the image of the frame immediately before the frame of interest in place of the image of the frame of interest when the calculated size of the detected error image region within the image of the frame of interest is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold and the detection unit has detected no error image regions within the frame immediately before the frame of interest, and causing the display unit to display a result obtained by correcting the detected error image region within the image of the frame of interest using a pixel group surrounding the detected error image region when the calculated size of the detected error image region is smaller than the predetermined threshold and the error image region has been detected within the frame immediately before the frame of interest.
