Abstract
Specified image transformation is applied to a first source video signal to generate a main image and symmetric image transformation is applied to a second source video signal same as or different from the first source video signal in accordance with the image transformation applied to the main image and the point, line, or plane specified as a symmetry yardstick to generate a symmetric image point-symmetric, line-symmetric, or plane-symmetric to the main image. Thereby, it is possible to easily obtain a symmetric image symmetric to a main image to which image transformation is applied only by specifying a point, line, or plane serving as a symmetry yardstick.
