Image synthesizing apparatus
View Patent ↗There are provided a framing assisting means for displaying as a moving picture object data as well as a profile of an area that is synthesized with a foreground of selected background data on an LCD 26 in a first magnification, a recording means for storing the object data selected by a shutter instruction in a nonvolatile memory to correlate with the selected background data, and a playing means for displaying as a still picture the object data stored in the nonvolatile memory and the background data correlated with the object data on the LCD 26 by applying a magnification varying process that is used to display the object data on the LCD 26 in a magnification smaller than the first magnification.
1. An apparatus comprising:
an obtaining unit which obtains a first image and information about a part of the first image from a storing unit;
a generating unit which generates a second image from output of an image sensor;
a synthesizing unit which synthesizes the second image with the part of the first image based on the information to generate a synthesized image in which the part of the first image is superposed on the second image; and
a displaying unit which displays a first part of the synthesized image without displaying a second part of the synthesized image, the first part of the synthesized image including all parts of the second image that were not superposed by the part of the first image in generating the synthesized image, and the second part of the synthesized image including the part of the first image.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second image is stored in the storing unit in response to an instruction of a user, and
the second image is correlated with the first image.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the synthesized image is output.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying unit displays the first part of the synthesized image based on the information.
5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium in which a computer program causing a computer to execute a method is recorded, the method comprising:
obtaining a first image and information about a part of the first image from a storing unit;
generating a second image from an output of an image sensor;
synthesizing the second image with the part of the first image based on the information to generate a synthesized image in which the part of the first image is superposed on and the second image; and
displaying a first part of the synthesized image without displaying a second part of the synthesized image, the first part of the synthesized image including all parts of the second image are synthesized, that were not superposed by the part of the first image in generating the synthesized image, and the second part of the synthesized image including the part of the first image.
6. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 5 , wherein the first part of the synthesized image is displayed based on the information.
7. An apparatus comprising:
an obtaining unit which obtains a first image from a storing unit;
a generating unit which generates a second image from output of an image sensor;
a synthesizing unit which synthesizes the second image with a part of the first image to generate a synthesized image in which the part of the first image is superposed on the second image; and
a displaying unit which displays a first part of the synthesized image without displaying a second part of the synthesized image, the first part of the synthesized image corresponding to a all positions of the second image that were not superposed by the part of the first image in generating the synthesized image, and the second part of the synthesized image corresponding to a position of the part of the first image.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the displaying unit displays the first part of the synthesized image based on information obtained from the storing unit.
9. An apparatus comprising:
an obtaining unit which obtains a framing image and layout information about a part of the framing image from a storing unit;
a generating unit which generates an object image using output from an image sensor;
a synthesizing unit which synthesizes the object image with the part of the framing image based on the layout information to generate a synthesized image in which the part of the framing image is superposed on the object image; and
a displaying unit which displays a first part of the synthesized image without displaying a second part of the synthesized image, the first part of the synthesized image including all parts of the object image that were not superposed by the part of the framing image in generating the synthesized image, and the second part of the synthesized image including the part of the framing image.
