Abstract: A method of making a panoramic image includes capturing a first image (30) defining a first overlap region (115) capturing a second image (40), and defining a second overlap region (215). Two points (150, 151) in the first overlap region are identified and a first vector (175) overlap region connecting the two points is defined. Two points (250, 251) in the second overlap region which correspond to the two points in the first overlap region are identified and a second vector (275) the two points is defined. If points in the first vector match points in the second vector, determine if the first and second vectors are parallel. If the vectors are not parallel, rotate the second vector image until the second vector is parallel to the first vector.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a thumbnail of a panoramic photo is provided. The apparatus includes a camera configured to capture a photo in a panorama photography mode, a controller configured to control a thumbnail image to be created by reducing the panoramic photo shot by the camera module by a predetermined first factor, and a display unit configured to display the thumbnail image on a screen. The controller controls the thumbnail image to be updated by further reducing the thumbnail image by a second factor to fit in a displayable screen range of the display unit if a width of the thumbnail image exceeds the displayable screen range as a shooting angle of the panoramic photo shot by the camera module increases, and controls the updated thumbnail image to be displayed on the screen.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that generate left-eye and right-eye composition images to display a three-dimensional image maintaining base line length to be substantially constant by connecting stripped areas cut out from plural images. An image composing unit is configured to generate a respective left-eye composition image and right-eye composition image to display respective three-dimensional images by connecting and composing left-eye image strips and right-eye image strips set in each of captured images. The image composing unit performs a setting process of the left-eye and right-eye image strips by changing an amount of offset, which is an inter-strip distance between the left-eye and right-eye image strips, in accordance with image capturing conditions to maintain a base line length corresponding to a distance between capturing positions of the left-eye and right-eye composition images to be substantially constant.
