Abstract
An image generation method for generating a viewpoint-modified image is carried out based on camera information sensed by one or a plurality of image sensing unit sensing an image around an image sensing unit-disposed object. The image generation method comprises displaying an image sensing unit-disposed object model on the viewpoint-modified image, detecting the change of the movable member of the image sensing unit-disposed object and transforming/displaying the relevant part of the image sensing unit-disposed object model in the viewpoint-modified image. The image generation method can also comprise transforming/displaying the virtual viewpoint position of the viewpoint-modified image, according to the amount of change of the movable member of the image sensing unit-disposed object.
