Questions about the technology: 1. How does this device improve the efficiency of handling multiple input images? 2. What are the key factors to consider when implementing different switching control modes in image processing devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing device includes an image processing unit configured to generate a delivery image in which a first area which is a main image area and a second area which is an image area different from the first area are formed in a screen on the basis of a plurality of input images which are images obtained by imaging an event by a plurality of imaging devices. Furthermore, the image processing device includes a control unit configured to control the image processing unit such that control in a plurality of switching control modes is capable of being executed when the input images included in the delivery image are switched, and the captured image displayed in the second area is capable of being switched on the basis of any of a plurality of the switching control modes.
