Abstract
An image processing device for generating a single image based on a plurality of images captured by a plurality of imaging devices having different pointing directions from each other includes a memory and a controller. The memory is configured to store information containing at least the pointing directions and fields of view of the plurality of imaging devices. The controller is configured to operate as follows: to acquire or generate, from the plurality of images, first image data and second image data whose imaging ranges do not overlap; to apply image processing to the first image data and the second image data in such a manner that the first image data and the second image data have angular ranges larger than the fields of view in at least one direction; and to generate a single piece of multi-directional image data containing the image-processed first image data and second image data.
