Abstract

An image correcting device includes an image input section, image storage section, correction table storage section, geometry correcting section subjecting an input image to geometrical correction based on a correction table, and image output section outputting the input image as a corrected image. The table is created by: calculating a pair of angles (θ, φ) corresponding to each pixel position on the output image as the corrected image; calculating a light direction based on an intersection line between a plane obtained by rotating a YZ plane by angle θ about Y axis and that by rotating an XZ plane by angle φ about X axis, in three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with origin at a projection center of the input image; calculating a position on the input image corresponding to the light direction, as a resampling position; and associating the resampling position with the pixel position on the output image.
