Multiple viewpoint imaging control device, multiple viewpoint imaging control method and computer readable medium

Abstract

When images from multiple viewpoints are required, respective imaging locations of the multiple viewpoints are specified and imaging operations themselves may be executed simply. When image data is to be imaged from plural viewpoints that are elements for generating a three-dimensional form of a specific subject, a user is appropriately guided. Messages prompting ranging directly in front of the specific subject, movement from the ranging position to an imaging start point, and movement from the imaging start point to an imaging end point are displayed in a message display region of an LCD monitor or the like. In addition, from analysis of a through-image, positions of a digital camera are automatically identified and automatic imaging is carried out on the basis of movements of feature points.
