Patent ID: 8314831

Claim:
An imaging system comprising a camera terminal apparatus capable of performing pan operation and/or tilt operation and a camera control apparatus for controlling the camera terminal apparatus, wherein, the camera terminal apparatus comprises: a signal processor configured to generate a panorama image, a panorama image storing unit configured to store the generated panorama image; and an imaging direction controller configured to generate camera position information indicative of an imaging direction based upon a calculation of a speed and an acceleration for use in moving the image direction of the camera, and the camera control apparatus comprises: a position determination processor configured to determine a position of the imaging direction in the panorama image, based on the camera position information; and a panorama image processor configured to determine a difference between the determined position and a center position of the panorama image, and process the panorama image in such a way that the determined position becomes the center position of the image, based on the difference, wherein in the case where the determined position is set to the center position of a panorama image display frame, the panorama image processor extracts an image corresponding to an image area which is outside the panorama image display frame due to the setting of the center position and sets the extracted image to an area having no image in the panorama image display frame due to the setting of the center position.
