Abstract:
1. An image processing device which corrects displacement between pictures obtained by temporally-continuous capturing, the image processing device comprising: a motion amount estimating unit configured to estimate, using feature points extracted from each of a first picture and a second picture, a motion amount indicating an amount of displacement of the second picture with respect to the first picture, the second picture being captured temporally after the first picture; a determining unit configured to determine, using the feature points, whether or not correction is made using the motion amount estimated by the motion amount estimating unit; and a picture correcting unit configured to correct the displacement of the second picture with respect to the first picture using the motion amount so as to correct the displacement between the pictures, in the case where the determining unit determines that the correction is made using the motion amount, wherein the pictures are captured by a fisheye optical system, the motion amount estimating unit includes: the feature point matching unit is configured to match the three-dimensional coordinates of the first feature points and the three-dimensional coordinates of the second feature points to estimate the motion amount indicating the displacement amount of the second picture with respect to the first picture.
