Abstract
A fusion processing unit performs warping with a high quality image as a reference by using a wide angle image that is generated by an imaging unit and has a wider angle of view than the high quality image generated by the imaging unit in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, and generates a fusion image by matching positions of image overlapping regions with each other of the high quality image having a higher image quality than the wide angle image and the wide angle image after the warping. A captured image can be generated having a wide angle of view and high image quality without degrading image quality using a plurality of captured images respectively having different angles of view and resolutions.
