    Abstract: The present technique relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program for obtaining a high-quality panoramic image when a 360-degree panoramic image is generated.A projected image generation unit generates projected images by mapping, on a cylindrical surface, captured images taken by a camera being rotated 360 degrees. A cumulative difference value calculation unit calculates a cumulative difference value in each position between the adjacent projected images. Based on the projected images and the cumulative difference values, a diagraph generation unit generates a diagraph reflecting the cumulative difference values in the energies of edges. Based on the diagraph, the path search unit searches for such projected image joining positions as to minimize defects when a panoramic image is generated by joining the respective projected images. A panoramic image generation unit joins the projected images based on a result of the search, and generates a panoramic image. The present technique can be applied to image processing devices.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus and method, an image capturing apparatus, and a program which make it possible to crop an image with an optimal composition even for a subject other than a person.A composition pattern setting section 33 sets a composition pattern corresponding to an input image, on the basis of the number of salient regions to which attention is directed in the input image, and the scene of the input image. On the basis of the composition pattern set by the composition pattern setting section 33, a composition analyzing section 34 determines a crop region in the input image which is optimal for an image to be cropped in the composition pattern from the input image. The present invention is applicable to, for example, an image processing apparatus that adjusts the composition of a captured image.

    Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, electronic equipment and a program which can remove cyclic noise from an image including the cyclic noise.An estimating unit configured to estimate cyclic noise components included in each image picked up under different exposure conditions for each image is included. The estimating unit estimates the cyclic noise components for each image through operation utilizing mutual relationship between the noise components under the exposure conditions. For example, the cyclic noise is flicker. The mutual relationship between the noise components may be expressed with a shutter function of the exposure conditions in frequency space. The present technology may be applied to an imaging apparatus.

    Abstract: This technology relates to an image processing apparatus, a method thereof, and a program making it possible to cut out an area in a desired direction of a panoramic image more easily and rapidly.When the image processing apparatus cuts out an area in a predetermined eye direction of a panoramic image projected on a spherical surface to display, this displays an area of the panoramic image projected on a virtual screen determined by a specified eye direction as an output image. That is, the image processing apparatus calculates a pixel position of the panoramic image projected on a position on the screen by an approximation function to generate the output image. At that time, the image processing apparatus evaluates an approximation error by the approximation function. Specifically, the image processing apparatus determines a range of a writing area such that the approximation error is not larger than an allowance when this obtains the pixel position of the panoramic image corresponding to each position in the writing area on the screen by using one approximation function. This technology may be applied to the image processing apparatus.
