An image processing device, an image processing system, an imaging device, an image processing method, and a recording medium storing program code. The image processing device includes a receiver configured to receive a first image and a second image, a memory configured to store a joining position at each one of a plurality of portions between the first image and the second image received by the receiver, and circuitry configured to evaluate, for each of the plurality of portions, validity of the joining position in a past stored in the memory, and generate a composite image based on the first image and the second image received by the receiver and the joining position in the past stored in the memory on a site where the validity meets a criterion. The method includes reading a past joining position at each one of a plurality of portions between a pair of images.

Image processing device, image processing system, imaging device, image processing method, and recording medium storing program code

An image capturing device, image capturing system, and image processing method, each of which: obtains a video image of an object; converts a wide-angle video image to generate a low-definition, wide-angle image; applies projection transformation to a part of the wide-angle video image to generate a high-definition, narrow-angle video image in different projection; combines each frame of the low-definition, wide-angle video image and a corresponding frame of the high-definition, narrow-angle video image, into one frame data while reducing a resolution of each video image, to generate a combined video image; transmits the combined video image for display at a communication terminal; in response to a request from the communication terminal, applies projection transformation to a part of a frame of the wide-angle video image to generate an ultra-high-definition, narrow-angle still image in different projection; and transmits the ultra-high-definition, narrow-angle still image for display at the communication terminal.

Image capturing device, image capturing system, image processing method, and recording medium

In a communication system, a data processing terminal transmits a request for obtaining processing information for a specific service to one of an image acquisition terminal and a data processing server; receives a response including processing information from the one of the image acquisition terminal and the data processing server, the processing information indicating processing to be executed by at least one of the image acquisition terminal and the data processing server in providing the specific service; and transmits the processing information to other one of the image acquisition terminal and the data processing server, to cause the other one of the image acquisition terminal and the data processing server to configure settings based on the processing information and execute processing on the captured image data according to the settings.
