Abstract
A first AR analyzer (3A) analyzes a first captured image including an AR marker image captured by a camera (1), determines the appearance of the AR marker image in the field of view in the first captured image, and virtually places a corresponding CG at an appropriate position in the field of view corresponding to the AR marker image; a second AR analyzer (3B) calculates appearance of the CG object in another field of view of the camera in a second captured image subsequently captured by the camera; a CG rendering unit (5) composites an image of the CG object at an appropriate position in the second captured image corresponding to the appropriate appearance; and a display unit (7) displays the composite image, so that the apparatus can composite and display a CG object in real time on a digital image of a natural landscape captured by a camera.
