In an image processing apparatus that processes image data containing a distortion of an image pickup optical section, which is obtained by picking up an optical image from a subject through the image pickup optical section giving the distortion, a region selection mode setting section () selectively sets a first region selection mode in which, from a field of view represented by the image data, a selected region is selected which indicates a partial region of the field of view by using an orthogonal coordinate system and a second region selection mode in which, from the field of view represented by the image data, the selected region is selected which indicates the partial region of the field of view by using a polar coordinate system. A distortion correction section () corrects the distortion contained in the image data that corresponds to the selected region selected the first or second region selection mode selected in the region selection mode setting section (). A data output section () outputs distortion-corrected data.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program therefor, and recording medium in which the program is recorded

An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a thinning-out section generating thinned-out line data of thinned-out data constituted by a plurality of the thinned-out line data, the thinned-out data being obtained by thinning out wide-field image data with distortion captured using a wide-angle lens, and sequentially outputting the thinned-out line data at every predetermined timing, a switching section performing switching from an output of the wide-field image data to an output of the thinned-out line data in response to the predetermined timing, and a buffer temporarily storing the wide-field image data and the thinned-out data constituted by the plurality of thinned-out data outputted after the switching.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

Relative to an image processing apparatus that processes image data containing a distortion of an image pickup optical section, which is obtained by picking up an optical image from a subject through the image pickup optical section giving the distortion, an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, a program therefor, a recording medium in which the program is recorded, an image pickup apparatus, which are easily used by the user conveniently, are provided. A data output section () outputs the image data of a display image that corresponds to a display mode by using a subject image whose selected region which indicates a part of a field of view represented by the image data is made identifiable and a distortion-corrected image of the selected region. A display mode setting section () performs setting of the display mode. In accordance with switching of the selected region, a control section () changes a first display mode in which the subject image whose selected region is made identifiable is not used in the display image to a second display mode in which the subject image whose selected region is made identifiable is used in the display image.
