ARBITRARY VIEWPOINT IMAGE GENERATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an arbitrary viewpoint image whose depth feeling is held only by the image compound of simple processing. SOLUTION: An arbitrary viewpoint image generating device 1 is provided with a camera image storing part 11 for dividing a camera image acquired by photographing a photographic object by using a camera 10 into frame images, and for storing them with distance information from the camera 10 to the photographic object, a camera image space generation part 13 for rearranging each stored frame image in a three-dimensional space based on the distance information and a viewpoint image generating part 12 for generating a viewpoint image from a desired viewpoint position by compounding the rearranged frame images.
