Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a signal processing circuit and an imaging apparatus by which a plurality of images including an overlapping region can be accurately stitched. Stitching (projective transformation and warping) is performed on direct-transformation region images on the basis of camera initial condition information (information on directions of camera modules) stored in an EEPROM. Stitching is performed on overlapping-region images under the determined composition condition. Stitching is performed on buffer region images by the use of a value (e.g., moderate value) determined on the basis of a projective transformation condition of the direct-transformation region images and a projective transformation condition of the overlapping-region images. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a signal processing circuit used in an imaging apparatus such as a camera.
