Abstract
An omnidirectional image processing apparatus enables the visibility of a specified monitoring object in an omnidirectional image to be improved while maintaining the continuity of that omnidirectional image. The omnidirectional image processing apparatus performs image processing on an omnidirectional image, and has a monitoring object specification section that specifies a monitoring object photographed in the omnidirectional image. The omnidirectional image processing apparatus also has an image rotating section that rotates the omnidirectional image so that the position of a specified monitoring object becomes upper-central, and a center position moving section that moves the center position of the omnidirectional image rotated by the image rotating section downward by means of warping processing.
