Abstract
An image-taking apparatus is disclosed which transforms a fisheye image into a perspective projection image and allows appropriate correction of image fluctuations with a reduced load of operation. The image-taking apparatus has an image-pickup element which photoelectrically converts a fisheye image and a transforming section which performs projective transformation processing of fisheye image data obtained by using the image-pickup element into perspective projection image data. The image-taking apparatus has a vibration detecting section which obtains vibration information about vibrations. The transforming section shifts a transformation area which is subjected to projective transformation processing in the fisheye image data based on the vibration information.
